2023/01/02新增 8歲虎斑母貓以牙齦黏膜置換手術(MGRS)治癒口炎
患有慢性齒齦口炎(FCGS，以下簡稱口炎)的虎斑母貓噗啾來本院治療之前已嘗試過使用類固醇及半口拔牙治療無效，食慾明顯減退、牙齦及口腔黏膜容易流血，當時還是以他院用藥物控制症狀，無法停藥，患貓本身非常緊張、容易焦慮，時常會有過度理毛(拔毛)的行為，飼主必須要讓患貓穿衣服才能暫時制止患貓的拔毛行為。
7歲的噗啾在接受本院陳重威醫師的牙齦黏膜置換手術（MGRS）療程治療後，患貓的拔毛行為逐漸改善、食慾也逐漸增加。
噗啾在經過一年的治療後，口炎(FCGS)已完全治癒，停止服用輔助治療的抗生素及止痛藥，食慾維持良好，不再有拔毛行為，也不用再穿衣服防止拔毛，體重從4kg上升至4.45kg，目前口炎(FCGS)已痊癒的患貓不需要再依靠打針吃藥也能維持良好且正常的生活品質。
貓咪慢性齒齦口炎(FCGS)是常見的貓咪口腔疾病之一，常見的症狀為：
- 牙齦及口腔黏膜紅腫，甚至潰瘍或增生，口腔所有軟組織，包含牙齦、兩頰舌頭兩側、舌頭下方、嘴角至咽喉部的口腔黏膜都會有紅腫潰瘍或增生。
- 貓咪會因為口腔疼痛會減少進食，甚至不願意進食，或是吃飯喝水會不斷甩頭、使用前腳撥動嘴巴。
- 口水因潰瘍多半都有異味，甚至帶有腐肉味。
目前普遍的治療多為施打長效型類固醇針劑或是口服類固醇藥劑，搭配抗生素，以及拔牙，但個體治療效果落差較大，且拔牙容易使貓咪口腔塌陷、齒槽骨萎縮，貓咪需要終生服用藥物，無法斷藥。
陳重威獸醫師獨創的牙齦黏膜置換手術 (Mucogingival Replacement Surgery, MGRS)便是希望可以克服上述口炎治療的後遺症及困境，讓患有FCGS的貓咪痊癒後不必長期吃藥，可以恢復病前的正常生活。

“Pu-Jiu”, a tabby female cat suffering from chronic gingival stomatitis (FCGS, hereinafter referred to as stomatitis), had tried steroids and half full-mouth extraction before coming to our hospital for treatment, none of the above treatments were effective. The patient’s appetite decreased significantly, and the gingiva and oral mucosa were prone to bleeding, at the first visit, she still took the medicine prescribed by another hospital to control the symptoms, and the medicines could not be stopped. The patient was very nervous and anxious, and often had excessive grooming (plucking) behavior, the owner must let the cat wear clothes to temporarily stop it.
After the 7-year-old Pu-Jiu received the Mucogingival Replacement Surgery (MGRS) treatment by Dr. Chung-Wei Chen, the excessive grooming (plucking) behavior of the patient gradually improved and the appetite gradually increased.
After a year of treatment, the patient's stomatitis (FCGS) has been completely cured. She stopped taking antibiotics and analgesic drugs, has a good appetite, no more excessive grooming (plucking) behavior and no need to wear clothes to prevent it, and the weight of the cat has increased from 4kg to 4.45kg. The patient’s stomatitis (FCGS) has been cured, and she can maintain a good quality of life without using any medicines.
Feline chronic gingivostomatitis (FCGS) is one of the common oral diseases in cats. The main symptoms are:
- The gingiva and oral mucosa are red, swollen, ulcers or hyperplasia. All soft tissues in the mouth, including the gingiva and all parts of the oral mucosa (including buccal, lingual, sublingual and oropharynx, etc.), will have redness, ulceration or hyperplasia.
- Cats will lose their appetite or even refuse to eat because of mouth pain, or they will keep shaking their heads and scratching their mouths with their front feet when eating and drinking.
- The patient's saliva usually has a peculiar smell, even putrefactive odor, due to ulcers.
At present, the most common treatments are long-acting steroid injections or oral steroids, combined with antibiotics, and tooth extraction, etc., but the effect of individual treatment varies greatly, furthermore, tooth extraction will likely cause the cat's oral cavity to collapse and alveolar bone loss. They need lifelong medication and can't stop it.
Dr. Chung-Wei Chen's original Mucogingival Replacement Surgery (MGRS) aims to solve the above-mentioned sequelae and difficulties in the treatment of stomatitis, and make cats with FCGS no longer need to take medicine for a long time after recovery, and return to the normal life they had before the illness.
