Case of an 11-Year-Old Cat from Taipei Metro Area Seeking Treatment for Feline Chronic Gingivostomatitis (FCGS) in Taichung

2021-08-23

The name of this patient is "Baa", he is an 11-year-old male cat who made a special trip from Taipei to Taichung to find Dr. Chung-Wei Chen for treatment of stomatitis.
Before coming to our hospital, the patient had performed half full mouth extractions, tried countless medicines and remedies at the animal hospitals in Taipei to cure stomatitis, but the swelling of the oral mucosa was still severe, the throat was swollen, and he would constantly scratch his mouth due to pain.
The owners worry that if long-term administration of steroid injections (stomatitis needles) may cause side effects such as diabetes, high blood pressure, cataracts, Cushing’s disease, etc., they decided to let Baa undergo the "Mucogingival Replacement Surgery, (MGRS)” treatment, which is a unique treatment method created by Dr. Chung-Wei Chen for animals.
Although the patient did not participate in the research project of Dr. Chen and Kaohsiung Medical University (KMU), Dr. Chen still used the treatment methods in the research project for surgery, and the effect on the patient is remarkable. It only took nearly four months to heal the stomatitis that had plagued Baa for a long time.
We will continue to follow up the oral condition of the patient. For many people, "there is no problem without teeth."; however, if the animal does not have teeth, the oral cavity cannot be well supported and closed, and it cannot retain enough saliva, which makes the oral cavity's antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ability worse, poor oral health can also increase the risk of heart disease. Once again emphasized that tooth extraction cannot fundamentally solve the problem of stomatitis, it will only make the animal’s oral condition worse due to missing teeth.
