Stomatitis (oral mucositis) is inflammation in the tissue lining your mouth or lips.
Stomatitis is a painful inflammation of the soft tissue inside a cat's mouth. It's similar to gingivitis, which is a type of gum disease. Stomatitis, though, affects the mucosal tissue, such as the lips, tongue, roof, and floor of the mouth. Stomatitis is painful, and cats who have the condition may not want to eat. Not because they are not hungry, but from pain. Some will try to eat, then hiss or cry when chewing hurts. They might also show signs of pain when they yawn or move their mouths to groom themselves. Their behavior and demeanor might change due to constant pain in their mouth.The tissue inside your cat's mouth will look red and swollen. They might drool excessively, and there might be traces of blood in their saliva. Cats with stomatitis can have chronic bad breath, as well.
Helpful Nutritional Supplement Gum Ulcers
These include vitamins C, A and Zinc as well as herbs such as Echinacea, Astragalus and Wild indigo. In addition, two B vitamins in particular – folic acid (B9) and thiamine (B1) – have been shown to heal and prevent mouth ulcers.

Mouth ulcers, phytochemical compounds, recurrent aphthous ulcer, Using the herbs that have proven of the effectiveness of the anti-inflammatory effect of methanolic extract of G. glabra is done by ..... of many plants, such as Coptis chinensis (coptis or golden thread),
Berberis vulgaris, commonly known as Barberry etc. Reference : RAS (recurrent aphthous stomatitis). To study the effects of total alkaloids (TA) extracted from Rhizoma Coptis Chinensis on experimental gastric ulcer models. Four kinds of experimental ulcer models were established respectively by water-immersion stress, intragastric ethanol, acetic acid erosion, and pylorus ligation. The anti-ulcer effects of TA were evaluated, and compared with that of herbs berberine (Ber) and cimetidine (Cim). TA showed significant inhibitory effects on ulcerative formation induced by water-immersion stress, intragastric ethanol, and pylorus ligation in dose-dependent manner, and showed therapeutic effect on acetic acid erosion-inducing ulcer, in comparison with the control group. The anti-ulcer activity of Ber was less than TA containing equal content of Ber. TA significantly reduced the free acidity, total acidity and total acid output, but didn't affect the gastric juice volume, gastric pepsin activity, adherent mucus quantity of stomach wall and free mucus dissolving in gastric juice. The suppressive activities of TA on gastric acid secretion didn't occur when it was administered into dodecadactylon at a dose of 360 mg/kg wt. Moreover, when compared with Cim, the inhibitory effect of TA on gastric acid secretion isn't proportional to the inhibitory effects on the formation of the 4 kinds of experimental ulcers. TA is a potent candidate in therapeutic drugs for treating gastric ulcer. Its anti-ulcer effective components and mechanism is not only related to Ber and inhibition of gastric acid, but also to other ingredients of TA and mechanism so far unknown.
* Berberine and its protoberberine alkaloids palmatine, coptisine and aporphinoid alkaloid of magnoflorine have been confirmed to be the major pharmacologically active constituents of Coptidis Rhizoma against H. pylori[14-16]. Berberine, one of the chemical marker of this formula, was also found to possess simultaneous gastrointestine protective and anti-inflammatory activities.
Red Root (Ceanothus americanus) (traditionally used as a lymph stimulant and tonic. In order to help facilitate clearing of dead cellulare tissue from the lymph system, this is where the Red Root herb comes in. As white blood cells kill bacterial and viral pathogens they are taken to the lymph system for disposal. If the lymph system clears out dead cellulare material rapidly the healing process is enhanced)
Wild Lettuce (Lactuca virosa) Benefits - traditionally used as a natural pain relief, this plant does not contain any opiates and is entirely legal. Its pain relieving effects come from the milky white substance it excretes, lactucarium, whose active compounds are comparable to the distilled, synthetic versions found in prescription painkillers. The main active compounds in lactucarium are lactupicrin, lactucin and lactucopicrin. These compounds have been found to possess analgesic activity, along with sedative activity. One study claimed that a mere 30 mg/kg dose of lactucopicrin is similar to a 60 mg/kg dose of ibuprofen. The compounds found in the lactucarium work in the way morphine does, directly impacting the central nervous system, blunting its ability to feel pain.It is recommended by herbalists as a remedy for severe migraines and is especially effective for women who suffer acute pain during their menstrual cycle. Sedative -The pain relieving qualities of Wild Lettuce also aid in relaxing the body. This makes it very useful in the treatment of insomnia and anxiety, with it also called a feeble opium because it does not upset the digestive system. Respiratory Health -Wild lettuce can be used as a natural support for asthma and coughs. The powerful herb helps reduce irritation of the bronchial tubes and lungs. It’s also able to loosen mucus and difficulty breathing associated with asthma. Furthermore, it has successfully be used for whooping cough and bronchitis.
Elderberries (Sambucus nigra) traditonally used for animal influenza, herpes simplex,

Gingivitis.
The Link Between Vitamin C Deficiency and Gingivitis.
Reference: Written by Andrei Popov | Date of publication - May. 27, 2024
Gingivitis, a common gum disease, can be linked to vitamin C deficiency. This article explores the symptoms, causes, and treatment options for gingivitis caused by a lack of vitamin C. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining healthy gums and preventing gum inflammation through an adequate intake of vitamin C.
Vitamin C plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy gums. It is an essential nutrient that supports the overall health of the oral cavity. One of the key functions of vitamin C is its ability to prevent gum inflammation, also known as gingivitis. Gingivitis is a common gum disease characterized by redness, swelling, and bleeding of the gums. It occurs when plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, builds up on the teeth and along the gumline. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to a more severe form of gum disease called periodontitis. Vitamin C helps combat gingivitis by promoting the health of gum tissues. Note Vaccines severely depletes a cats body of vitamin C. Use safe alternatives adding wholefood vitamin C powder in every meal given.
Stomatitis
What is Stomatitis?
Stomatitis is the inflammation of the buccal mucus membrane. Commonly it is known as Mouth Ulcer. Stomatitis is often caused from a virus e.g. Herpes or Calici and/ or Bartonella infection, causing severe painful inflammation of a cat’s mouth and gums and possibly throat too.Ongoing mouth inflammation and ulcers in cats is termed feline 'stomatitis', characterized by gradually worsened inflammation of the oral mucosal tissues. Feline stomatitis etiology is assumed to be an immune-mediated weakness ( vitamin and mineral deficiencies) allowing a viral infection to take over, such as feline herpesvirus and feline calicivirus and/ or Bartonella bacteria infection. A cat can also have symptoms of difficulty swallowing, gagging reflux from possible lesion in throat.
Recommendations: Trachi 189-1 formula
A vibrational and herbal blend designed to support energetic balance and comfort within the respiratory field, especially during times of environmental or seasonal stress. For use as part of a holistic wellness regime. No therapeutic claims made
Cats with stomatitis also often show inflammation lateral to the palatoglossal folds in the caudal oral cavity (referred to as caudal stomatitis or caudal mucositis).Mouth inflammation and ulcers in cats is one of the very few conditions that will cause a feline to show obvious signs of pain. It is in a cat’s nature to not freely express pain, but feline stomatitis is so painful cats often cry out in pain with a simply yawn.
Cat owners also report a type of behavior veterinarians call, “approach-avoidance.” This behavioral term is used to describe a cat who hungrily approaches her food, only to hiss at her bowl and run away. Approach-avoidance behavior is a symptom that develops over time as the feline anticipates the consumption of food to be painful. Behavioral changes may be the first signs of feline stomatitis a cat owner notices, as inflammation and ulcers in the mouth are not easily seen.
The following additional symptoms may also be noted in a cat with mouth inflammation and ulcers:
- Severe pain
- Vocalization or crying out upon the opening of the mouth
- Dropping food while eating
- Refusal to eat or drink
- Facial pawing
- Weight loss
- Halitosis (bad breath)
- Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing)
- Ptyalism ( drooling, hyper-salivation,)
- Poor hair coat
- Red, swollen gums and/or mouth
- Visible ulcers or lesions
Stomatitis is often caused from a Virus
Feline stomatitis etiology is assumed to be an immune-mediated weakness (vitamin and mineral deficiencies) allowing infection to take over, such as feline herpes and feline calici and/ or Bartonella infection.
* If also difficulty swallowing from possible lesion in throat, also use the Trachea Aid formula to help prevent gagging reflux. e.g Vitamin C & B Complex deficiency condition. And Zinc (mineral) deficiency predisposing to skin ulcers & eczema.
Causes of Mouth Inflammation and Ulcers in Cats.
The exact cause of mouth inflammation and ulcers in cats is unclear, but what is clear is that the condition appears to be immune-mediated. In other words, feline stomatitis is believed to be an overreaction of the immune system, causing the feline’s own immune system to attack bacteria in the mouth as well as its oral tissues. The immune system is triggered by plaque in the mouth, making feline dental disease the prime suspected cause. Mouth inflammation and ulcers in cats can be caused by dental disease, but also infection and viruses, including:
- Bartonellosis infection
- Feline calici (FCV)
- Feline herpes-1 (FHV-1)
- Feline immunodeficiency (FIV)
- Feline leukemia (FeLV)
Feline Stomatitis is often caused from an infectious germ.
e.g Herpes, Calici or Bartonellosis (Bartonella)
Which causes severe, painful inflammation of a cat’s mouth and gums, throat. Ongoing mouth inflammation and ulcers in cats is termed feline 'stomatitis', characterized by gradually worsened inflammation of the oral mucosal tissues.

~ Serious colitis causes severe diarrhea, which accounts for huge water loss, and can cause rapid loss of fluid from the circulatory system," Thal says. "This leads to a vicious cycle of low blood pressure and reduced blood flow to vital organs and circulatory shock, which can quickly result in death if unsupported."Often diagnosed as Colitis symptoms or Diarrhea
~ Colitis disrupts the integrity of the mucosa. Once a horse is affected, the ability of its colon to absorb water and nutrients—the colon's normal function—is compromised. In addition, major shifts take place with respect to the bacterial population needed for normal gastrointestinal (GI) function.
~ GI inflammation can take several forms. It can occur as a segmental condition, limited to one section of the GI tract, or as more diffuse, non segmental disease.

~ Feline calici (FCV) is a highly contagious virus found in cats and a cause of upper respiratory and oral infections.
Typical clinical signs of FCV include nasal discharge, gingivitis, and stomatitis.
FCV is also able to affect the joints of cats, resulting in lameness. In this study, we monitored a small outbreak of FCV limping disease in two household cats. The transmission between the two animals likely occurred indirectly via virus shed in the environment from the respiratory tract. The findings of this study highlight the need for the adoption of adequate prophylaxis measures to prevent the transmission of highly transmissible infectious diseases.
Abstract
Feline calicivirus (FCV) is a common viral pathogen found in domestic cats. FCV is highly contagious and demonstrates a high genetic variability. Upper respiratory tract disease, oral ulcerations, salivation, and gingivitis–stomatitis have been regarded as typical clinical signs of FCV infection. Ulcerative dermatitis, abortion, severe pneumonia, enteritis, chronic stomatitis, and virulent systemic disease have been reported more sporadically. Limping syndrome has been also described either in naturally or experimentally FCV-infected cats. In this study, we monitored a small outbreak of FCV infection in two household cats, in which limping disease was monitored with a 12-day lag time. The complete genome sequence was determined for the viruses isolated from the oropharyngeal and rectal swabs of the two animals, mapping up to 39 synonymous nucleotide mutations. The four isolates were sensitive to low pH conditions and trypsin treatment, a pattern usually associated with viruses isolated from the upper respiratory tract. Overall, the asynchronous pattern of infections and the results of genome sequencing suggest that a virus of respiratory origin was transmitted between the animals and that the FCV strain was able to retain the limping disease pathotype during the transmission chain, as previously observed in experimental studies with FCV strains associated with lameness.
Introduction
Feline calicivirus (FCV) belongs to the genus Vesivirus, included in the Caliciviridae family [1]. FCV is an icosahedral virus with a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA genome approximately 7.7 kb in length [2]. The FCV genome contains a virus-encoded protein at the 5′ end, a poly-A tail at the 3′ end, and three adjacent open reading frames (ORFs). ORF1 encodes a polyprotein that is proteolytically cleaved into nonstructural proteins, including a viral protease and the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. ORF2 encodes the capsid precursor protein, which is post-translationally cleaved into the leader capsid protein and the mature capsid protein VP1. ORF3 encodes the putative minor capsid protein VP2 [3,4]. FCV is an important infectious and endemic pathogen and mostly affects cats under one year of age. FCV infection usually causes mild self-limiting clinical manifestations with high morbidity and low mortality [5,6].
Clinical signs
can evolve as acute or subacute infection of the upper respiratory tract and oral cavity (stomatitis and oral inflammatory syndrome) [7,8]. FCV infection is rarely associated with ulcerative dermatitis, abortion, severe pneumonia [2], chronic stomatitis, or virulent systemic disease (VSD) [9]. Vaccination is indicated for all cats [5], although the efficacy of FCV vaccines is affected by viral genetic and antigenic variability [10]. Current vaccines do not seem to cross-protect effectively against all the field strains [11].
~ Limping syndrome is also a rare outcome of FCV infection.
This syndrome has been described either in naturally or experimentally infected kittens [12,13] and older cats [14]. The peculiar clinical signs are stiffness, hyperesthesia, mild joint pain, and muscle soreness. The pathogenesis of this syndrome likely involves immune complexes [15], and FCV has been isolated from affected joints [12]. FCV antigens have been detected in the joints of cats experimentally inoculated with either a field or a vaccine virus [15]. Thickened synovial membranes and the intra-synovial collection of fluid have been observed. Pyrexia is commonly present, and some cats show concurrent signs of respiratory disease with or without oral ulceration [12].
In this paper, we report a small outbreak of limping disease observed in two household cats. The animals underwent asynchronous infection with a 12-day lag time, suggesting sequential infection between the two animals and, therefore, an intrinsic ability of the FCV strain to induce limping.
