I have used the coconut oil and essential oils to handle gingivitis in our newest young cat. I alternate with a mix of baking soda and coconut oil with lavender and a hint of frankincense too. She had BAD GINGIVITIS. This has worked amazingly over a week. I’m so relieved to see you using these remedies. Naturally I have felt hesitant at first, but now I totally trust this. Helps a lot coming from you. I take any of our animals to the vet with things I am confused or unsure about. Have their bloodwork done for a baseline, but handle most things with a lot of these remedies when anything comes up. Really brave and cool for you to share. We need our doctors and we also can take more responsibility at home once we learn a few things. Thank you again.
I grow aloe plants and occasionally I cut off a leaf and freeze it in a ziplock bag. After it’s frozen, you can cut the edge’s off the frozen leaf, slice it open lengthwise to expose the inside of the leaf and the aloe and rub the frozen aloe on the gums, then after rubbing the aloe on them, throw away the left over skin from the leaf. By the time you cut the leaf open, the aloe is still mostly frozen but not cold enough to cause damage.
I always love your realistic treatments & pragmatic advice. My little Tonk is 5 & her gingivitis became severe resulting in a “floating” canine which dislocated her jaw when she bit down.She had to see a dental specialist to have her jaw put back & had 9 teeth removed. I wish I’d dealt with the gingivitis a lot earlier saving my Bebe trauma/pain (& a stack of $ too). Thanks so much 😻
My senior dog had such bad gingivitis that you could hardly see his canines. I started brushing his teeth, gently at first, with a regular toothbrush once a week and he improved immediately. My younger dog is 5 and I've been brushing her teeth since she got all of her adult teeth. She has the teeth of a 1 to 2 year old. I highly recommend brushing dogs' teeth every 7 to 10 days. I go over every area quickly twice...it only takes a minute or so. Also helps with doggy breath.
I am all about natural remedies for my animals and myself so I applaud you for sharing smart options for pet healthcare. My cats do not enjoy going to the vets and I do not like stressing them out. So thanks so much for your great pet tips.
With the lemon EO added to the green tea, you said to use it as a rinse and not to have it ingested. How exactly would a cat not possible swallow this? Thanks
I brush my dogs teeth with a good dog toothpaste every night before bed. I started it when I got him (rescue) and after $500 vet dental cleaning and extractions. So far so good. I love your videos Doctor 😊
I found your video interesting but I have a couple of questions. One, I thought citrus essential oils as well as peppermint essential oil are toxic to cats. If you are using them in a rinse, how do you prevent them from swallowing the green tea mixed with lemon essential oil? My cat is currently dealing with chronic stomatitis. I don't want to have to remove all his teeth as from what I understand it doesn't always solve the problem. I have used Greenies in their dry food daily for well over a year and I am using some kind of liquid in their water that was given to me by the Vet to reduce tartar build-up with obviously no benefit because one of my other cats has gingivitis as well. Idon't have the over $800 the Vet wants to clean my cats teeth. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks.
I start with just my finger wrapped in a piece of gauze and gently rubbing their gums to get them used to me being in there. Then I graduate up to applying a mixture of coconut oil with baking soda to gently clean the teeth and gumline. It may take a while to get to this point, depending on how tolerant your dog or cat is to having his teeth cleaned.
@@stephanie5859 The formula I used is from here on Dr. Jones channel called, Toothpaste for Dogs: DIY and Natural from about 3 years ago. All the into is in the video.
Here’s how to avoid dental disease In dogs: stop feeding them kibble and switch to natural foods, with the occasional RAW bone. Kibble gets stuck in their teeth and the sugars, which it’s filled with, ferment and cause problems. Vary their diet up as much as possible and include supplements and their health will be great, and they’ll love eating a variable diet.
My cat was diagnosed with FORLS and Stomatitis. He had a full mouth extraction on 7/15/19. I hope this ride him of Stomatitis, but too early to tell. If not, do you have any suggestions, I really don't want to keep giving him prednisolone transdermally.
@@sheilacvetic4986 Hi, Sheila. I Am Not a Vet, but my cat also has this health problem. It's only been about a month and a half since I made big changes in my cat's diet but he is doing better now. Now, I make him home-made cat food and I rinse his teeth with antiseptic after meals. He is alive; he is a healthy weight; and he has a good appetite. He has stopped screaming, dropping his food, and running around in pain. I have started giving him hemp oil drops to help to keep him calm (because I think he was traumatized by having the advanced symptoms of this painful oral disease). I am still trying to learn more about what else I can do to help him. From my experience, homeopathic changes for my cat helped him to not have to be strictly dependent on strong drugs and invasive medical procedures. I wish you and your cat well.
You must have read my mind, I was researching this today for our 7 yr old Pug/Boston X. I did come across research on how Kelp (Ascophyllum Nodosum) will actually break down and dissolve tartar & plaque as well as help with gingivitis. The Kelp powder can be added to their food.
Thank you so much for this video, Dr. Jones. I had a feeling that strong drugs, surgery, and prescription canned food was not the ONLY way to help a cat in need of a healthcare overhaul due to gingivitis/stomatitis. I believed there had to be supplemental ways an owner can help their pet to improve their health and quality of life; I'm glad I discovered your channel. Thank you, again.

When you were in the bathroom talking, there was an echo. It was a little hard to understand. It was a good video. I liked the reminder to use Co-enzyme Q10 for our furry animals.
I loved the video, and the natural approach to dealing with so many different issues!! I know so many conventional medicines have so many bad side effects!! Thank you so much for the information!!
Just what I need to know right now...having problems with y cats mouth..keep going to vets and get metcalm..Vets say her condition will not go away.. Will try what you have shown, and hope it will ease her condition...Thank you
I just lost my little dachshund of 12 Years due to stomatitis. She had her teeth cleaned every year but her last teeth cleaning started an infection called stomatitis. She was on Metacam for pain relief for her back and because of this she didn't stop eating until the very end. Please insist your cat or dog gets antibiotic shot after every cleaning and ask for antibiotics to be on the safe side. Stomatitis can make your dog very sick. She did not have severe plaque buildup but still got stomatitis. I hope this helps a lot of pet owners to pay attention to their dog's mouth, if you smell an odor within a month after a teeth cleaning get your dog to a vet immediately for antibiotics.
Murray is so chill. I can never do that to our cats, even the most mild-mannered ones who will allow me to do so for a few seconds but not more than that.
Coconut oil and baking soda might work, and feels safer than green tea flush. Tea contains Theobromine which is toxic to cats. However as per a quick Google search more than one teaspoon of baking soda will be toxic. So maybe I will start with a pinch of baking soda with coconut oil. Rest of the products I would recommend to read content label and not use any product hastily if there is no content label
Thank you very much for your holistic remedies! I'd be lost without some advice about what remedies to try! A lighthouse shining in the dark for helping our pets! Thank you again,
Dr Jones. I missed your videos on the bad dog food recall. I had signed up for it and we had really bad winds here. I have a new internet carrier and it really isn't getting stable yet. Of course these winds were very high and wild. Maybe I can catch it later. I'm still planning on downloading all your books, now I've decided to put them on my laptop. I wished you lived close to me you would have a full time job lol. I do love you videos they have really helped me so much. Thank you for all that you have shared with us..
Thank you so much, Becky! Did you miss the webinar? I usually post it on my blog once the file is ready. You may check it our here: www.theinternetpetvet.com

Awesome video!👍 Thanks for this one especially, Dr. Andrew. We've been brushing teeth since they were kittens but have always looked for the other things I could be doing for the boys as an adjunct to their dental routine. Murray is a hoot!😹 Now you gotta up that food pay scale quality,Dad! Thank you again...😊 wanda,Simon and Giorgio🐾😺💙🐾 😺💙
I am so glad about this video I hope you see this message soon . My cat was diagnosed with gengivitis Friday today is now Sunday and he’s not eating or drinking he’s in a lot of pain I could tell . The blood work came out fine for surgery but I don’t want to wait a while other day just to see about when he can get surgery . Is there anything that can be done outside taking him to an emergency clinic to spend a lot of money .
Another commenter from another video used Bentonite clay powder to their cat food. Just dusted on the food before putting in the bowl. Solved the gingivitis on an elderly cat better than antibiotics, etc..
My cat needs his teeth cleaned the Vet said but he doesn't have bad gingivitis. I ordered some natural oral care called Espree and it seems to be working, his breath doesn't smell anymore but he will not let me check his teeth. I put 4 drops on his paw and he licks it off.
A life saving tip. Feline greenies. Helps with gingivitis and bad gums and breath. My cat is going on 9 years old. No problems. My cat loves them. They are treats that clean your cats teeth and gums. Good luck.
Hello This is wonderful. Thank you for sharing Hope your doing well ,I have followed you for many years It August 2023 . Yvonne mullion Cornwall England
Very good ideas my cat is going for his annual dental with his program, but I will mix up these formulas to keep him clean in between dental cleaning, it would be nice to share with others to who cannot afford programs or medication or vet services
I used garlic oil that humans can drink and mix it with apple cider brags , pepper, sea salt and some clove with mixed with water helped when I had a tooth ache and used it on my dog and cat
Hi , hope your keeping well and through this difficult time I’m sure everyone really appreciates what a beautiful soul you are and helping animals what a beautiful person . I have 2 cats one died 3 months ago. The 2 cats I have are both girls princess is 10 yrs and sky who is 13yrs and now gone blind. I was cleaning sky’s teeth and a rotten tooth fell out and was bleeding. I have rinsed her mouth out with green tea and 3 drops of fresh lemon she did swallow this is that ok? Anything for pain or will it heal naturally for her ?Thank you
Dr. Jones, how did i clean my 13 year old Birman cat's teeth without stressting him out - he does get very easily stressed! and his breath smells!! Thankyou.
i’ve seen so many people say peppermint and green tea is toxic for dogs. i hate misinformation! thank you for clearing it up. can you make a video of dog toothpaste brands or home recipes? aspca recommended coconut oil and baking soda- then apparently baking soda is toxic. the last thing i want to do is harm my dog. please help! thank you.
I am stuck with making a decision of taking my 13-year-old Maltese to get her teeth cleaned. The vet did all lab work in October and she’s very healthy. She’s had little to no health issues. She suffers from mild arthritis, but she hasn’t had a flair up for a year. She’s very active and happy; not in pain. Anyhow, her vet insists her teeth really need to be cleaned. I brush her teeth from time to time, when she lets me. Her gum bled a bit. She’s got two teeth that look brown near the gum. I know she needs to get them cleaned. But I can’t help but feel scared that she may not wake up. Please advise and what should I ask my vet to make sure she will be okay. I’m very anxious and just want her to stay as healthy as possible. Please help...
Took my cat to the vet today. I did not know anything about gingivitis till today - they are telling me that we have to extract all of teeth. Heartbroken and trying to find a solution to this. I want to fight to save his teeth and he does too. He's a fighter and always has been. Does anyone know a good vet in Toronto for a second opinion?
Thank you for this video 😊 I'm just trying to order some of the remedies you suggest and the aloe Vera gel, the lily of the desert one, has other ingredients in? Are they safe as I've been learning sodium benzoate isn't the best, especially when mixed with citric acid? But so much Misinformation out there that I just get confused at what's actually true so could you advise please? Struggling to find one that just has 100% aloe Vera pulp in it
Im pretty sure all the Mexican markets have a large aloe vera plant leaf for about $1.50 it is huge their are many videos on UA-cam that will show you exactly what to do eventually you will find a great video
@@lennapelayo3252 thanks so much for responding. I will look into that, was thinking of getting my own aloe Vera plant, as I already have a few species but none that I think are edible so that would be an option. Thanks again!
@@vikkibradley123 yr very welcome yes but they take forever to grow mine does very good in a large terracotta pot under the edge of my Magnolia tree Hopefully, you can find some good luck by the way my daughter is named Victoria Rose💖💖💖
One of my cats started drooling with his tongue out and it has foul smell, there's no vets in ny town and we can't go out because of this pandemic. I don't know what's happening but he's been like that for almost a day, he can't even eat nor drink. What should I do? What's happening to him? 😢
Did you get help? Sounds like gum infection, toothache, absess. Teeth are rotting from bacteria. Pain...which they usually can hide well... The bacteria toxins (pus) may make your cat sick. They will drool, shake the head, not eat, hide, etc. My cat is facing this too. Vet said it will take pulling several infected teeth as antibiotics are only a band aid. The cost is 600 to 1400 dollars Canadian. They charge $85 for 15 minutes...that's $340/hr. That sucks. Until then, I made tea out of Plantain and softened my cats food with the tea so he can avoid chewing hard. He got a bit of the boiled green bits to eat with it. Plantain is called "natures band aid". It is antibacterial, used to treat infections, swelling, cuts, etc. I hope Plantain will clean his mouth of bacteria for a start...I hope. Plantain is used as a poultice, in oils, or tea...it draws toxins out of the body. It probably grows in front of your house. He didn't mind the taste. I also put ice water along his jaw, his fur and skin wet to cool his gums from the outside. I'd just dip my fingers in the ice water, lightly rub it into his chin, jaw, cheek. He liked the rub and didn't notice the water. So far so good. It will be a week before I can get the teeth out. Good luck.
@@jonogren5567 Yes. I actually wasn't able to take him to the vet, all I did is softened his food and give him luke warm water at first he couldn't eat it at all nor drink but the other he's actually trying to eat it even if it looks painful. I don't know really know what happened but he miraculously recovered. 😄
What is a good over the counter pill one can give the dog before taking to vet for "more peaceful and less biteful" examination. Infact this can come handy even at home for things like tooth cleaning or putting medicines on cuts and bruises etc. Feisty and alarmed dogs make bad patients and sometimes even to their own masters. I have heard of sleepiness as one of the side effects of Benadryl which can be used to calm down the dog, but would it have other issues as cannot give Benadryl all the time just to get dog half sleepy for examination.
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). I give 250 mg to my 50 lb dog. Hope Dr Jones will cover this. See his other videos. He suggests Melatonin in one. He has MANY videos at your dispose to study and evaluate the one which might best work for your pet. ua-cam.com/users/internetpetvet
I see a small reddish coloured ulcer behind of his mouth, kindly could you suggest what to do. He's not showing much interest in eating. Only if its given he eats but not enthusiastic. It's there for 3days now.
thank you dr jones wrote it all down in my book will have to try that one my cats one of my cats had to go get dental work on his mouth cost alot close to 300
it's really hard to give my cat meds since his gums are swollen, I'm guessing it hurt like hell, what should I do? also cleaning his gums are quite painful too me,
I had this problem also and had I not listened to my mother, I would never have taken charge of the matter. She said, "You have to do what's good for him". She meant that just because my cat didn't like me going near his mouth, doesn't mean it's ok to do nothing for him. So I began with a very soft gauze-like fabric and I dip it in warm water and antiseptic and gently massage the rinse through out his teeth and gums repeatedly until all the particles, leftover from his meal, rinse out. This has really helped. I recommend, start with a warm water rinse with antiseptic for cat (or the remedies recommended here which sound good; I will try them). I think you have to start somewhere, and then it should get easier from there. Best of luck.
@@VeterinarySecrets I already did doc, We already got him to his vet and they told us that it was gingivitis, we are currently treating him in our house and the first day of cleaning his gums /mouth area with his meds are successful thankfully, hopefully, it should heal after seven days and we'll go back to his vet. The technique that I use is I'm wetting the cotton swabs with the meds for cleaning his gums and carefully rotating it inside his mouth especially teeth and gum area, and we are giving him syrup painkiller and to reduce the swelling little by little, doc, any tips that you can give for faster treatment would be appreciated, Thank you so much,
@@jerwellsavella97 what meds did they have you use to apply to the gums and how is your kitty doing now? Any advice from your experience would be great. thanks.
One of my community cats may have mild stomatitis. Instead of applying topically to gum line, can I mix the licorice tincture into coconut oil and put in his wet food to ingest orally? Will that be effective? Pls respond.
“Topically” is a specific instruction. Ingesting it will not have the same effect. That goes for any medication. You wouldn’t ingest neosporen.. but since the problem area is the mouth i understand why you ask. Unfortunately your cat will get weak from not eating, you’ll be able to treat them. My vet gave my cat an inflammatory and anti-biotic shot. It helped but it is temporary
How about just a green tea tea bag? He barely lets me see in his mouth much less finger his gums lol 😆. So just squirting it in will have to do. So green tea bags will work??
I was reading about aloe Vera benefits and if I’m not mistaken Aloe Vera is listed under plants that are toxic for cats and dogs.... now watching your video I’m confused 😐
I'm in the United Kingdom would anyone know where I can get the same as dr Andrew Jones coenzyme-Q 10 30mg for my cat with bad mouth because he won't let me go near his mouth so need to put it in food
Hi my kitten is 7 months old.he got really red gum and he love wet food.so I stopped wet food and gave him only dry food.can you please suggest me some home remedies and wet vs dry.if I using coconut oil for him is that good for him?
Terrible video, lousy sound quality, music in the background, camera view jumping around, out of focus, bending your head to get into the picture (makes me bend to look at straight on). Please be a little more straight forward with the facts man, just the facts!

My cat has red gums...she is vomiting and not anything since yesterday... trying to feed her forcefully but she is throwing out
Isn't lemon and peppermint EO toxic for felines? And also cats can't gargle, how may I have them use the rinse?
Isn’t there a product to neutralize bacteria acids like xylitol is to humans but not xylitol?
Awesome video!👍 Thanks for this one especially, Dr. Andrew. We've been brushing teeth since they were kittens but have always looked for the other things I could be doing for the boys as an adjunct to their dental routine.
Murray is a hoot!😹 Now you gotta up that food pay scale quality,Dad! Thank you again...😊 wanda,Simon and Giorgio🐾😺💙🐾 😺💙
Thanks
Thank you so much for this video, Dr. Jones.
I just mix the COQ10 into my dog's food. He hasn't turned a meal down yet. 🐶 Thanks for the other tips.
Welcome
I tried to download your free e book but it looks like I just kept subscribing?
I have a feral with stomatitis. Vet doesn't want to pull teeth. I'm at a loss.
I am so glad about this video I hope you see this message soon . My cat was diagnosed with gengivitis Friday today is now Sunday and he’s not eating or drinking he’s in a lot of pain I could tell . The blood work came out fine for surgery but I don’t want to wait a while other day just to see about when he can get surgery . Is there anything that can be done outside taking him to an emergency clinic to spend a lot of money .
What a gorgeous cat😊
Another commenter from another video used Bentonite clay powder to their cat food. Just dusted on the food before putting in the bowl. Solved the gingivitis on an elderly cat better than antibiotics, etc..
Do you mean diamatecious earth?
My cat needs his teeth cleaned the Vet said but he doesn't have bad gingivitis. I ordered some natural oral care called Espree and it seems to be working, his breath doesn't smell anymore but he will not let me check his teeth. I put 4 drops on his paw and he licks it off.
I love aloe, but I 💭 thought it was toxic to cats?
A life saving tip. Feline greenies. Helps with gingivitis and bad gums and breath. My cat is going on 9 years old. No problems. My cat loves them. They are treats that clean your cats teeth and gums. Good luck.
ur awesome...my little dogs have this problem...they are getting up there in age now
Thanks

Thanks Janice
@@VeterinarySecrets Sorry Dr. Andrew my dumb phone doesn't allow me to open messages. (The little box) So can I use this on my dog?
Thank you Dr. Jones for this video 💖😸
Very good ideas my cat is going for his annual dental with his program, but I will mix up these formulas to keep him clean in between dental cleaning, it would be nice to share with others to who cannot afford programs or medication or vet services
I used garlic oil that humans can drink and mix it with apple cider brags , pepper, sea salt and some clove with mixed with water helped when I had a tooth ache and used it on my dog and cat
Does your cat allow you to use this ingredients without making a fuss ?
Garlic can cause an intestinal bleed. The animal could bleed to death. Even humans shouldn't take garlic before surgery. No garlic !@
Licorice is not good for blood pressure, right ? my do has high blood pressure...
Hi , hope your keeping well and through this difficult time I’m sure everyone really appreciates what a beautiful soul you are and helping animals what a beautiful person . I have 2 cats one died 3 months ago. The 2 cats I have are both girls princess is 10 yrs and sky who is 13yrs and now gone blind. I was cleaning sky’s teeth and a rotten tooth fell out and was bleeding. I have rinsed her mouth out with green tea and 3 drops of fresh lemon she did swallow this is that ok? Anything for pain or will it heal naturally for her ?Thank you
Dr. Jones, how did i clean my 13 year old Birman cat's teeth without stressting him out - he does get very easily stressed! and his breath smells!! Thankyou.
Murray🐈😍!! Dr Jones Thank you so much for your advices!! I m so happy to find a natural solution.
You're welcome
Thank you so much for this info
You’re welcome!
You are such a great Dr !!
I thought lemon was toxic to cats. Also green tea has caffeine
i’ve seen so many people say peppermint and green tea is toxic for dogs. i hate misinformation! thank you for clearing it up. can you make a video of dog toothpaste brands or home recipes? aspca recommended coconut oil and baking soda- then apparently baking soda is toxic. the last thing i want to do is harm my dog. please help! thank you.
Thank you so much for the information!
Thanks for watching. Please feel free to share my videos.

What green tea brand do you use?
My cat has stomatitis now (at 15) or so. Having to "brush" the teeth. Good luck with turmeric powder. I use it on me too.
I am so grateful for you ❤️
Thanks Tammy
my cat is just 5 month old. today his gums were bleeding and red. his mouth has been smelly from past few days
I am stuck with making a decision of taking my 13-year-old Maltese to get her teeth cleaned. The vet did all lab work in October and she’s very healthy. She’s had little to no health issues. She suffers from mild arthritis, but she hasn’t had a flair up for a year. She’s very active and happy; not in pain. Anyhow, her vet insists her teeth really need to be cleaned. I brush her teeth from time to time, when she lets me. Her gum bled a bit. She’s got two teeth that look brown near the gum. I know she needs to get them cleaned. But I can’t help but feel scared that she may not wake up. Please advise and what should I ask my vet to make sure she will be okay. I’m very anxious and just want her to stay as healthy as possible. Please help...
How did everything go? Hope your doggo is okay 😊
What brand Licorice Tincture do you use? Alcohol Free? Herbal Brand? Hawaii Pharmacy brand
Dr Josh Axe has the very best essential oils so I would use those or do terra in the same way. Thank you very much for this video.
You're welcome! I'll be having a free webinar tomorrow. Feel free to join!

Took my cat to the vet today. I did not know anything about gingivitis till today - they are telling me that we have to extract all of teeth. Heartbroken and trying to find a solution to this. I want to fight to save his teeth and he does too. He's a fighter and always has been. Does anyone know a good vet in Toronto for a second opinion?
Do you do phone consults?
Thank you.
Thank you for this video 😊 I'm just trying to order some of the remedies you suggest and the aloe Vera gel, the lily of the desert one, has other ingredients in? Are they safe as I've been learning sodium benzoate isn't the best, especially when mixed with citric acid? But so much Misinformation out there that I just get confused at what's actually true so could you advise please? Struggling to find one that just has 100% aloe Vera pulp in it
Im pretty sure all the Mexican markets have a large aloe vera plant leaf for about $1.50 it is huge their are many videos on UA-cam that will show you exactly what to do eventually you will find a great video
@@lennapelayo3252 thanks so much for responding. I will look into that, was thinking of getting my own aloe Vera plant, as I already have a few species but none that I think are edible so that would be an option. Thanks again!
@@vikkibradley123 yr very welcome yes but they take forever to grow mine does very good in a large terracotta pot under the edge of my Magnolia tree Hopefully, you can find some good luck by the way my daughter is named Victoria Rose💖💖💖
How many days to use the coconut and licorice tincture for?
One of my cats started drooling with his tongue out and it has foul smell, there's no vets in ny town and we can't go out because of this pandemic. I don't know what's happening but he's been like that for almost a day, he can't even eat nor drink. What should I do? What's happening to him? 😢
Did you get help? Sounds like gum infection, toothache, absess. Teeth are rotting from bacteria. Pain...which they usually can hide well...
The bacteria toxins (pus) may make your cat sick. They will drool, shake the head, not eat, hide, etc.
My cat is facing this too.
Vet said it will take pulling several infected teeth as antibiotics are only a band aid.
The cost is 600 to 1400 dollars Canadian.
They charge $85 for 15 minutes...that's $340/hr.
That sucks.
Until then,
I made tea out of Plantain and softened my cats food with the tea so he can avoid chewing hard. He got a bit of the boiled green bits to eat with it.
Plantain is called "natures band aid".
It is antibacterial, used to treat infections, swelling, cuts, etc.
I hope Plantain will clean his mouth of bacteria for a start...I hope.
Plantain is used as a poultice, in oils, or tea...it draws toxins out of the body.
It probably grows in front of your house.
He didn't mind the taste.
I also put ice water along his jaw, his fur and skin wet to cool his gums from the outside. I'd just dip my fingers in the ice water, lightly rub it into his chin, jaw, cheek. He liked the rub and didn't notice the water.
So far so good. It will be a week before I can get the teeth out.
Good luck.
Is he OKAY? Please answer. Give him feline greenies treats. I'll tell you more if you answer. My cat is 9 and very healthy teeth and gums.
@@notfoolediknowthetruth3101 Oh thank you, he's already okay ☺️
@@jonogren5567 Yes. I actually wasn't able to take him to the vet, all I did is softened his food and give him luke warm water at first he couldn't eat it at all nor drink but the other he's actually trying to eat it even if it looks painful. I don't know really know what happened but he miraculously recovered. 😄
Is aloe vera gel came from the plant itself okay?
What is a good over the counter pill one can give the dog before taking to vet for "more peaceful and less biteful" examination. Infact this can come handy even at home for things like tooth cleaning or putting medicines on cuts and bruises etc. Feisty and alarmed dogs make bad patients and sometimes even to their own masters. I have heard of sleepiness as one of the side effects of Benadryl which can be used to calm down the dog, but would it have other issues as cannot give Benadryl all the time just to get dog half sleepy for examination.
GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). I give 250 mg to my 50 lb dog. Hope Dr Jones will cover this. See his other videos. He suggests Melatonin in one. He has MANY videos at your dispose to study and evaluate the one which might best work for your pet. ua-cam.com/users/internetpetvet
Yes- I ditto what @chinookvalley said- and Yes I will be doing a video on GABA .
Can you also use clove oil on the gums
I see a small reddish coloured ulcer behind of his mouth, kindly could you suggest what to do. He's not showing much interest in eating. Only if its given he eats but not enthusiastic. It's there for 3days now.
The peppermint made my cat foam a lot and online it says it could be dangerous for them.
Is your cat ok? I heard peppermint ins't good to give your cat even if it's just for a rinse, cats are unable to spit
thank you dr jones wrote it all down in my book will have to try that one my cats one of my cats had to go get dental work on his mouth cost alot close to 300
Welcome
Collidial Silver gel on the gums?
Good advice.
Glad it was helpful!
Can I use green tea bag and squeeze fresh lemons 🍋?
Yes
My favorite vet
Thank you
it's really hard to give my cat meds since his gums are swollen, I'm guessing it hurt like hell, what should I do? also cleaning his gums are quite painful too me,
I had this problem also and had I not listened to my mother, I would never have taken charge of the matter. She said, "You have to do what's good for him". She meant that just because my cat didn't like me going near his mouth, doesn't mean it's ok to do nothing for him. So I began with a very soft gauze-like fabric and I dip it in warm water and antiseptic and gently massage the rinse through out his teeth and gums repeatedly until all the particles, leftover from his meal, rinse out. This has really helped. I recommend, start with a warm water rinse with antiseptic for cat (or the remedies recommended here which sound good; I will try them). I think you have to start somewhere, and then it should get easier from there. Best of luck.
Sounds more like stomatitis- please 1st see your veterinarian
@@VeterinarySecrets I already did doc, We already got him to his vet and they told us that it was gingivitis, we are currently treating him in our house and the first day of cleaning his gums /mouth area with his meds are successful thankfully, hopefully, it should heal after seven days and we'll go back to his vet.
The technique that I use is I'm wetting the cotton swabs with the meds for cleaning his gums and carefully rotating it inside his mouth especially teeth and gum area, and we are giving him syrup painkiller and to reduce the swelling little by little,
doc, any tips that you can give for faster treatment would be appreciated, Thank you so much,
@@jerwellsavella97 what meds did they have you use to apply to the gums and how is your kitty doing now? Any advice from your experience would be great. thanks.
One of my community cats may have mild stomatitis. Instead of applying topically to gum line, can I mix the licorice tincture into coconut oil and put in his wet food to ingest orally? Will that be effective? Pls respond.
“Topically” is a specific instruction. Ingesting it will not have the same effect. That goes for any medication. You wouldn’t ingest neosporen.. but since the problem area is the mouth i understand why you ask. Unfortunately your cat will get weak from not eating, you’ll be able to treat them. My vet gave my cat an inflammatory and anti-biotic shot. It helped but it is temporary
How about just a green tea tea bag? He barely lets me see in his mouth much less finger his gums lol 😆. So just squirting it in will have to do. So green tea bags will work??
I was reading about aloe Vera benefits and if I’m not mistaken Aloe Vera is listed under plants that are toxic for cats and dogs.... now watching your video I’m confused 😐
Yes it can be confusing. Aloe vera topically is considered safe, as is the aloe juice- it has the latex removed.
...this was a fun video😃!!
:-)
I'm in the United Kingdom would anyone know where I can get the same as dr Andrew Jones coenzyme-Q 10 30mg for my cat with bad mouth because he won't let me go near his mouth so need to put it in food
eBay
Hi my kitten is 7 months old.he got really red gum and he love wet food.so I stopped wet food and gave him only dry food.can you please suggest me some home remedies and wet vs dry.if I using coconut oil for him is that good for him?
What is that God-awful sound? It's very disruptive and I can't hear the good Dr.
Pretty sure it was the camera trying to focus. It happens from time to time, on all auto focus cameras, etc.
Terrible video, lousy sound quality, music in the background, camera view jumping around, out of focus, bending your head to get into the picture (makes me bend to look at straight on). Please be a little more straight forward with the facts man, just the facts!
@Marcy Stott Buzz off!
Simple comment......your awesome
Thanks Linda :-)
