My vet discussed the possibility of Lily having food allergies, but feeding her special food was not something I was willing to take on. We have four other cats and I had tried individual feedings once before but it proved much too difficult to continue, so I’ll never know if that was part of the problem with Lily. Blue Buffalo has an excellent reputation. I’ve used one of their litters (a walnut shell litter than is amazing!) but not their food. Simply Nourish is new to me, so I have no knowledge at all about that brand/company. Yes, your vet is right. I was given tiny little fingertip gloves to use when I gave this to Lily. You can reuse them, since you probably won’t have enough for every day. Or, you can buy gloves in bulk, such as at Sam’s Club. 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. I’ve been giving my cat PlaqueOff and Lysine for about three weeks, and although my vet has not seen improvement, I’d like to give the PlaqueOff and Lysine a full 8 weeks before I do anything else.
When I wrote this review in early 2013 I had been giving PlaqueOff to Lily for almost four months. Two years later Lily has improved so much that her stomatitis seems to be completely controlled and I was able to wean her from the steroid cream she had been on. This product has been truly amazing for her, and I think it may be just as helpful to other cats suffering from the symptoms of stomatitis. My cat also had a dental a few weeks ago, which was about a year after the diagnosis. I believe the dental has helped him benefit from the supplements. Now available is Plaque Off Cat! Similar to the original Plaque Off for Dogs and Cats, Plaque Off Cat also contains Brewer's Yeast which is an ingredient cats love. Cats generally have a more discerning palate, so this extra addition is made to boost the palatability of this product, and through testing it was seen that 100% of cat critics accepted Plaque Off Cat. On a side note, the cost sounds horrendous! Just reading it makes my stomach twist up in knots of anxiety.I agree about raw food being the best option for all cats but especially those with stomatitis and food sensitivities. I have been working with a cat that was diagnosed with stomatitis this past July 2019. Right away, His guardian started him on a raw food diet with some herbs and he has not had any flare ups since. It’s great that Lily is off the steroid cream. As it turned out our cat doesn’t have stomatitis, but has feline tooth resorption. He had four canines removed and the plaqueoff might have not caused a side effect. We had no idea since he didn’t show any signs until one day a canine was gone. I hope all stays well with Lily and she won’t have any flare ups. Thanks for replying and all the best. IMPORTANT– Before I continue, though, I want to state now that PlaqueOff should not be given to cats that have hyperthyroidism. I discuss this a bit more below, but I want to make this clear so that cat owners of cats with hyperthyroidism know that this is not a product they should use.
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. I’ll discuss with the vet about the side effects of steroids (related to diabetes) and see if we can go with the lowest dosage possible. About LogicThe Logic range is a group of products that have been specifically designed to keep your pet happy, healthy and active. Each product has been created to a veterinary strength standard and the range includes products to help dental hygiene, ...I don’t know if this is what happened, but if your vet’s first reaction is to pull all the teeth then you might want to get a second opinion from another vet. There are several treatment options that can be tried before going to the extreme of pulling the teeth. 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." What format are Flame’s antibiotics, and how does your husband have to administer them? If they are liquid, I would try mixing it with wet food. That can be dicey, though, if your cat doesn’t eat it and then the dose is wasted. Or, suggest to your husband that you give it orally (squirt it in the mouth), then reward Flame with a kitty treat of some type. Do this consistently so he learns that he will be rewarded for taking his medicine. This is what I do with Lily. Each morning and night I have to rub steroid cream in her ear, then I reward her with a small amount of watered-down wet food that also has the Lysine and PlaqueOff in it.
Lily was very young (about 1 1/2 years old) when she had her teeth pulled. I can say with total honesty that if I had to do it all over again I would have pulled her teeth sooner. It has been over two years since her teeth were removed. She’s still on Lysine and PlaqueOff, which I will keep her on for life (unless I have to stop the PlaqueOff if she develops a thyroid problem), and you’d never know to look at her today what she went through with stomatitis. PlaqueOff® Powder for Dogs helps dogs’ oral hygiene, including bad breath, plaque and tartar. ProDen PlaqueOff® Powder for Dogs works with the animal's body helping existing tartar and preventing new build-up of dental plaque and tartar. ProDen PlaqueOff® Powder for Dogs is evidence-based, including clinical trials as well as being VOHC Accepted. It comes in a granulated form which is easily added to food every day, is rich in natural iodine and contains important vitamins and minerals and is free from artificial colours/ preservatives/ gluten and sugar. 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.First, tartar forms a rough surface that serves as a place for bacteria to grow and multiply in the mouth. Bacteria can cause inflammation of the gums (gingivitis), which often results in painful bleeding.
What good eyes you have! Yes, we had Lily’s teeth removed. It is a last resort treatment option for cats with stomatitis and it isn’t guaranteed to help. Approximately 20% of cats continue to suffer from stomatitis after having their teeth removed, and Lily fell into this 20%. The inflammation was improved after the surgery but she still had drooling, which meant she was in too much pain to swallow her saliva. her body did not know how to produce the proper corticosteroids without flaring up. Finally as of Feb 2013, she is off. If your cat’s teeth are already bad then I don’t think the Lysine and PlaqueOff will help. The PlaqueOff is meant to keep clean teeth from getting bad plaque on them and I wouldn’t trust that it would work on teeth that are already covered in plaque.And Tailspin’s owners went into business because his dogs have alergies and it was hard getting products for them. So even though Petsmart is across the street from Tailspin, I choose Tailspin because they get it~~ and use holistic products and such geared to pets with issues. If you try the Lysine and PlaqueOff, be aware that they will not provide immediate results, especially if your cat is badly affected by stomatitis. It took a good month before Lily showed any signs of improvement with the PlaqueOff, and another month before she really improved. Thank you for your kind words. I’m sorry to say that Lily passed away last year. Her death was sudden and unexpected, and had nothing to do with stomatitis. She was doing very well until a few days before she died, a happy, playful girl. At Pets at Home, we know how important it is to support your cat's wellbeing and keep them mentally stimulated. Our range includes specially designed puzzles and toys filled with natural catnip, for playtime, problem solving and fun.Promote both play and ... My Angelina won’t eat her food with Plaque Off in it. Is it okay to just open her mouth and just give her the small amount directly in her mouth ? I did it once and it was no problem. If Plaque Off goes directly into the blood stream what does it matter how it gets there? I can’t find anywhere where this is the way to go. Is it okay to do this?
