Innovative Nutraceutical Approach in the Treatment of Chronic Gingivostomatitis: Insights Gained from the Case

A nine-year-old female domestic shorthair cat presented with lethargy, anorexia, recurrent severe oral lesions, and oral pain. The cat was diagnosed with FCGS associated with FIV infection. Management was followed with a nutraceutical supplement including primarily iodine and arginine. Over a 2.5-month period, significant clinical improvements were observed, including resolution of oral lesions, increased appetite, and improved activity levels. This case report highlighted the potential role of nutraceuticals as a treatment regime for managing FCGS in FIV-positive cats, particularly in cases resistant to traditional treatments.
