Hi,

I have a 7 year old cat who developed an inflamed mouth and gums on the right side which turned black and it started to spread across the mouth. The vet, at first, thought it was candidia and then recently stomatitis. Each time antibiotics were prescribed which did nothing. The teeth are in perfect condition. No decay.No tartar. No pus.No ulceration. I decided to flush the mouth with a mixture of a little 3 percent peroxide and Grapefruit Seed Extract(a couple of drops) in water a couple of times a day. It took away the black and the inflammation receded back to the right side but it is still 60 percent inflamed. The vet(only one in town, works more in a large animal practise not pets, the next is 250 miles away) insists that antibiotics will work after one year of trying various antibiotics. Unless I drive 250 miles to the next vet for a second opinion I am trying to find what will fix this. I've cut out all commercial pet foods,no dairy, no carbs, just cooked chicken, vitamins,broth, carrots. Is there anything I could give that will cure this? Thank you.
