Feline Chronic Gingivostomatitis (FCGS)

Uncover the challenges of Feline Chronic Gingivostomatitis (FCGS) in this in-depth presentation by Prof. Dr. Mike Chan, crafted for veterinarians, veterinary dentists, and devoted cat owners. FCGS is a debilitating, immune-mediated oral disease marked by severe inflammation of the gingiva and oral mucosa, leading to intense pain, drooling, foul breath, difficulty eating, weight loss, and reduced quality of life. While the exact cause remains elusive, proposed factors include aberrant immune responses, viral triggers (e.g., feline calicivirus, FIV, FeLV), bacterial biofilms, and genetic susceptibility. Diagnosis involves careful history-taking, oral examination, hematology, viral testing, imaging, and sometimes biopsy to rule out neoplasia or other inflammatory conditions. Conventional management often includes dental extractions, pain control, antibiotics, and immunomodulatory drugs, but outcomes may vary. This presentation also highlights cutting-edge regenerative and integrative therapies, including PSC (Precursor Stem Cell Therapy), FOP (Frozen Organo Peptides), FOC (Frozen Organo Cryogenics), and TopPetPro innovations such as MITO Peptide Organotherapy and NANO Peptide Organotherapy. These novel approaches aim to modulate immune dysfunction, promote mucosal healing, and dramatically improve comfort and longevity in cats living with FCGS
