2023/01/31新增 3歲8個月的橘母貓治癒口炎

牛奶糖是一隻混種母橘貓，飼主帶來本院接受陳重威醫師以牙齦黏膜置換手術 (Mucogingival Replacement Surgery, MGRS)治療時是3歲8個月，MGRS療程結束時4歲2個月。
 
患貓因為Feline chronic gingivostomatitis (FCGS)造成牙齦及近咽喉部的口腔黏膜紅腫發炎，因口腔疼痛導致食慾減退、進食速度變慢，觸摸右側臉頰時會有很明顯的排斥閃躲動作。
 
口炎療程中間因患貓發現有膀胱結石需要手術，所以等患貓的膀胱恢復後才繼續MGRS的口炎治療。
 
經過6個月MGRS治療後，FCGS造成的紅腫已完全消失，食慾良好，觸摸臉頰也不會再有排斥反應，陳醫師將患貓的所有牙齒保留住，沒有拔牙，患貓的FCGS已完全痊癒，正常生活即可，不需要打針吃藥。
 
飼主有另一隻患有FCGS的貓咪，目前正在本院治療中。
 
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：

1. 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。
2. 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。
3. 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。

“Milk Caramel” is a mixed breed female orange tabby cat, she was 3 years and 8 months old when the owner brought her to start the Mucogingival Replacement Surgery (MGRS) treatment with Dr. Chung-Wei Chen in our hospital, and she was 4 years and 2 months old when the MGRS treatment ended.
 
Feline chronic gingivostomatitis (FCGS) causes redness, swelling and inflammation of the gingiva and oral mucosa of oropharynx in the patient, and oral pain leads to loss of appetite and slow eating speed, when touching the right cheek, she will try hard to resist.
 
During the treatment of FCGS, the patient was found to have bladder stones and needed surgery, so we waited for her bladder to return to normal before continuing to treat FCGS with MGRS.
 
After 6 months of MGRS treatment, the redness and swelling caused by FCGS have completely disappeared, her appetite is good, and she will no longer resist touching her cheeks, Dr. Chen did not do any extraction, all the teeth were preserved, her FCGS has been completely cured, and she can live a normal life without injections or medicines.
 
The owner has another cat with FCGS who is currently being treated at our hospital.
 
Feline chronic gingivostomatitis (FCGS) is one of the common oral diseases in cats. The main symptoms are:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
