Knowledge introduction of treating cat stomatitis.

1, Home Care: If the cat suffers from stomatitis, it is recommended that the pet owner choose food according to the allergen test results and try to feed the cat with low allergens. Moreover, the tableware used by cats should also use porcelain bowls or metal bowls, and avoid using plastic bowls, because tableware made of this material is easy to breed bacteria. Pet owners should use oral sterilization spray every day to sterilize the cat's mouth and reduce the bacterial concentration in the mouth, but the spray must choose products with little or no irritation. If a cat has developed the habit of brushing her teeth, she should stick to brushing her teeth when she suffers from stomatitis.
