She take, probiotics, omega 3 oil, and 2 supplements for Standard Process- Feline Immune and Feline Enteric. Plaque is a gummy substance that forms on the teeth within a few hours after a meal. Within 24 hours, plaque begins to harden by combining with minerals like calcium that are present in the saliva. As the plaque continues to accumulate and mineralize, it eventually transforms into tartar. Tartar, also called calculus, is rough and porous and can develop above and below the gum line. Having your veterinarian perform a dental cleaning under general anesthesia every 6-12 months at the first sign of tartar buildup. Regular dental cleaning is as important in cats as in people, and will go a long way to prevent irreversible damage to the gums and roots. Regarding Iodine toxicity. Food-forms & AA chelates would just get excreted in excess. Lugol’s solution, saturated potassium iodide 10%, while fine externally could bio-accumulate. As I stated above, I saw improvement in Lily’s symptoms of stomatitis after four weeks, and there was additional improvement after eight weeks. You can see for yourself how much better her stomatitis looks because of the PlaqueOff. Before Starting PlaqueOff
Tomorrow we go to have cold laser therapy for her gums and she is getting some chinese herbs to calm the inflammation. Immediately I knew I would not be returning to that vet. The second vet we went to was fine, although had no understanding of what to do, she basically said, try some lyseine. That was it. Soon after we went to that vet, Ruby developed a condition on her ears, and I was begging for a culture of it. That vet insisted it was allergies- so she kept her on the steroid. This went on for 4 months every time we tried to wean her off the steroid the ears flared up. Finally she said “I’m not sure what to do, you can take her to the dermatology vet or the holistic vet”. You certainly would not want to injure yourself in the process. And, yes, I agree that you earned the chocolate and caramel sundae 😉 her body did not know how to produce the proper corticosteroids without flaring up. Finally as of Feb 2013, she is off. Using a VOHC-accepted water additive to reduce the bacterial count in the mouth, resulting in improved breath.Wiping the outside of the teeth with a Q-tip at least twice daily. This is one of the most effective ways to remove plaque before it turns into tartar. Dip the Q-tip into tuna water for flavoring to help your cat accept this procedure. Training your cat to allow you to brush their teeth. For more information on the subject, see the handout “Brushing your Cat’s Teeth”. About the stomatitits, Ruby never displays any signs outwardly- she eats- she s on a raw diet only. She grooms constantly and plays. Went through her spay and anesthesia very well (was worried because one of her litter mates became ill after anesthesia procedure and had to be euthanized)
Greta is on L-Lysine to prevent eye irritation and goop (had a severe eye infection as a kitten) and has been on probiotics since her fight with giardia (lasted about 6 months) She was on forti-flora from the vet and is now on Gentle Digest After your cat's teeth have been professionally cleaned and polished by your veterinarian under general anesthesia, home dental care is needed to help reduce plaque and tartar buildup.

Dental Bites
I am SO sorry for the delay in approving your comments and responding to them. School got out just before you wrote and I have been busy with my children since then for the summer, which is the reason for my delay. Gingivitis often progresses to periodontal disease, which leads to further inflammation, pain, and tooth loss (see handout "Dental Disease in Cats" for further information). As tartar builds up along the gum line, it pushes the gums away from the roots of the teeth. As the gums recede, they expose the sensitive, enamel-free part of the tooth which causes sensitivity and pain. "Gingivitis often progresses to periodontal disease, which leads to further inflammation, pain, and tooth loss." Thank you for all the info on plaqueoff, I will be buying it today! I do feel compelled to tell you what I have done extensive reading on it diets. Dry food is the worst thing you could feed a cat. Dry food will literally dehydrate a cat. Raw food it the best because it contains the the moisture your cat needs. Their natural diet is something like 80%water. If raw is something that you dont want to feed dehydrated raw is another option. If raw not raw than strictly canned is ok. You can actually add alittle water to canned to make it more hydrating. I read that the worst canned food is better than the best dry food. I have spent hours and hours reading about this and I am really pleased with the change it has made it my cat as well as my moms. My cat had very bad gas and also when he would defecate the smell was horrific. Since the diet change gas is gone and his stool had no smell at all! My mother has a very overweight cat and since the raw diet she has lost weight but more importantly she is so much more active. She used to sleep constantly and now she and her sister explore and play, the change in behavior is amazing! Just wanted to share and thanks again for all the info on Plaqueoff! This is very easy. The container comes with a measuring spoon. All you need to do is sprinkle a spoonful of the powder onto either wet or dry food so your cat will ingest the powder with her food.
Update: The container that I originally bought, when I was giving it just to Lily, was the 180gm bottle. This size lasted at least six months when given daily to one cat. Now I buy the larger 420gm container and give it to all five of my cats each day. The 420gm container lasts me about one year when given to my five cats. How Long Will It Take Before You See Improvement In Your Cat’s Stomatitis Symptoms? The steroid cream is called Prednisolone. It is something that we have been giving to Lily for well over a year. It helps with the inflammation, and the combination of the Prednisolone, Lysine, and PlaqueOff has been life changing for Lily. It took a while for our vet to get the right dosage of the Prednisolone, so if your vet decides to use it, know that you may need to make adjustments to the dose before you find the right balance for your cat. Are there any other dental vets you could go to, even if they are 30-60 minutes away, who do x-rays?You’ve asked if I had to do things over if I would give PlaqueOff first before resorting to having Lily’s teeth pulled. That is something I’ve wondered myself, but the honest answer is that I didn’t know about PlaqueOff until after Lily’s teeth were pulled, so I don’t know. But, I very much wonder if the PlaqueOff, as well as the Lysine, would have been enough for Lily to keep her teeth.
How is Ruby doing now that she has been on PlaqueOff for a few months? It was miraculous for Lily. A few weeks ago she actually started giving us kisses, something she never did before because using her tongue in any way was painful to her.My all white domestic shorthair Sweetie was diagnosed with stomatitis in April 2014. 4/24 the vet gave him Cernia injection, and Depomedrol, Amoxicillin Suspension. ProDen PlaqueOff Cat Powder varies from the original powder as it contains Brewer's yeast to help entice fussy cats. I do not yet know the answer to this. I give Lily one scoop per day, and I started giving it to her almost four months ago. The container says that it should last for about six months, but I have quite a bit left. My guess is that one container will last us between nine months and one year.
Great Deal
