8. I have a cat sanctuary and I'm familiar with stomatitis.

It's awful. I've had luck with a good vet who did full mouth extractions, but the vet HAS to know what they are doing because if they leave anything behind, it won't fix the problem. There are also cats who react to things in their mouth other than the dentin (i.e., their own saliva) who get this type of disease, and doing a full mouth extraction does not help them.

For you to know about this must mean that you've had a kitty or kitties with it, so please accept my thanks for your efforts toward helping those.

In humans, it's a little different.

Oh, yes. We've had 4 cats afflicted with this. Different ages, different breed. 3catwoman3 Jun 10 #11

Yes. It is... There may be a genetic predilection in cats, but not shown to be in humans... hlthe2b Jun 10 #10

It's affecting younger cats quite a bit. hamsterjill Jun 10 #16

I once had a molar which had cracked. The pulp eventually resorbed, leaving a bone-and-enamel shell. John1956PA Jun 10 #7

Do you happen to know if this was "internal" or "external" resorption? hamsterjill Jun 10 #9

I was not as used as to its nature regarding external versus interval. John1956PA Jun 10 #17
