Treatment of a case of refractory feline chronic gingivostomatitis with feline recombinant interferon omega: Case report

Abstract

Chronic gingivostomatitis is a common debilitating disease in cats, which is often refractory to medical and surgical treatment. An eight-year-old, neutered female domestic shorthair cat with a history of gingivitis was presented with chronic gingivostomatitis. Initial treatment by extraction of all premolars and molars was unsuccessful. However, the condition resolved within six weeks of treatment with feline recombinant interferon omega (Virbagen; Virbac). © 2006 British Small Animal Veterinary Association.
