Hi, one of my cats (now aged 11) has been dealing with FCV for 5 years. It's a very difficult thing to treat but we've persevered with various treatments and finally his mouth is showing a huge improvement. First of all he had most of his teeth removed from the affected gum areas, but that didn't help. So then we moved on to Interferon which didn't help either. Then we moved on to steroids but those didn't suit him at all and changed his personality. I did some internet research and discovered that the drug Cyclosporine (branded Atopica here in the UK) could also be used as an FCV treatment and my vet agreed to try it. It's mainly used for dermatitis but after a year of a daily dose and 2 years of a 3 x weekly dose, his gums are now almost back to normal. Hope this info helps you and Luca.
I’m in the US. Had his teeth checked and he’s fine very healthy. Just very spoiledOh he's adorable! Maybe try putting this as a new thread re food as this one was for teeth probs and it may get missed. I know cats need food with enough taurine in it. Some feed raw and would perhaps give you some tips. Commercially produced food varies, and there is a new one that's dehydrated and you add water . People with picky eaters have had success with it. I'm in the UK, where are you?
