Natural Supplements and Diet Change Helps Stomatitis

Max and Sasha
Here is a wonderful success story from our client Angie. The products she uses to help her kitties, Max and Sasha,  with stomatitis are Power Probiotic for Pets, Colostrom for Pets, Immune Harmony, and Quentans.

"Back in 2010, I adopted 2 kitties from an elderly gentleman who had been on the news. The news story said that Animal Control was going to come in and take all the old man's kitties and euthanize them if no one stepped forth to adopt them (supposedly because he had too many living in the city limits - a neighbor who didn't like him or the cats had complained and turned him in).
They were all so friendly! They acted like I visited the house all the time! So it was quite difficult for me to make my selections. I finally settled on this huge one - a domestic shorthair - that looked like a miniature black panther. I named him Max. He was lean and silky, so regal, and looked like he could be a formidable foe to anything threatening him. Next I selected his sister, a shy dainty puff ball of black fur... pure princess to every degree. So she became known as Sasha.
We all lived in bliss until I had to take a work detail overseas for a month. I was forced to leave my babies behind in the care of a veterinary hospital for boarding until I returned. The cats were "different" it seemed when we returned home. Max wasn't as zealous and playful and Sasha was just totally terrified of everything! I took them to their regular vet and that's when I found out that Max was suffering from a severe case of stomatitis and Sasha's case was mild. For almost a year, Max suffered through rounds of antibiotic and steroid shots trying to calm his symptoms just so he'd be able to eat. He got so skinny and was so miserable, I didn't know what else to do.

I began to scour the internet on alternative therapies and tried everything from switching food to switching litter. Finally a couple of years ago, I ran across the AskAriel site. And amazingly, there was a section all about stomatitis. I read everything I could find about it and even read about the other different conditions house pets can contract. The answers were reasonable so I placed my first order for some of the Power Probiotic. I also received a food recommendation from Ask Ariel that I was able to find in my local pet store. Over the next few months I continued to "fine-tune" Max's specific needs. Ask Ariel gave me recommendations about foods to avoid that would make the stomatitis worse.  In June of 2014, I took Max and Sasha to the vet one last time to have their teeth thoroughly cleaned, and Max received his steroid and antibiotic shots. After that, we started daily treatments with the supplements and recommended diet.  In June 2015, we visited the vet for the first time since the cleaning (for a different condition) and  she was thoroughly impressed and said she didn't see anything unusual... no redness, no sores, no buildup on the teeth or anything! She couldn't believe I was only feeding them wet food (not the dry her office had originally recommended) and nothing else.  
Anyway, I now have two of the happiest kitties on the planet! They are both in the elderly stage now with a few grey whiskers and a few strands of grey hair here and there coming out of their beautiful black coats, but Max loves playing the "baby" (even though he's the eldest)...Sasha has finally gotten over her fears as well. She loves to be picked up, but differently than Max. When she approaches you, she'll just sit there and wait, looking at you. When you reach down to pick her up she'll throw her little arms up in the air like a toddler begging. Then you'll have to pick her up and put her on your hip where she then likes to ride with her arms around your neck as she nuzzles your face.
Yes, I know it's a long success story but *my* kitties are extraordinary.
Thanks for coming up with such amazing products!"

What Causes Drooling In Cats?

Have you ever noticed your cat drooling? While it might be more commonly associated with dogs, many cat owners have observed their cats exhibiting this curious behavior. There are many reasons a cat may drool ranging from contentment and relaxation to potential underlying health issues. Here are some common reasons why cats may drool:  


Happiness or Contentment or Excitement and Anticipation: Some cats may drool when they are extremely relaxed and content, especially when they are being petted or are in a comfortable environment. They may also drool in anticipation of food or during playtime when excited.

Heat or Overheating: Cats may drool in response to heat or overheating, especially in warmer environments.

Nausea or Motion Sickness: Cats may drool if they are feeling nauseous or are experiencing motion sickness, especially during car rides.

Ingestion of Toxic Substances or Foreign Objects: Ingesting toxic substances or plants can cause drooling as a sign of poisoning. This is a serious emergency, and immediate veterinary attention is required. Another potential emergency is if they ingested a foreign object that may be stuck in their mouth or throat and can cause drooling. 

Infections or Illnesses: Respiratory infections, salivary gland disorders, or other systemic illnesses can lead to increased drooling.

Dental Problems: Dental issues such as gum disease, tooth decay, or oral infections can cause pain and discomfort, leading to drooling.
 Any injury or trauma to the mouth, tongue, or throat can result in drooling as a response to pain.

Stomatitis:  A painful inflammation of the oral mucous membranes in cats, can cause a variety of symptoms, including drooling.  Stomatitis is an autoimmune disease, where cats have an exaggerated immune response to dental plaque.  This immune response can result in inflammation and ulceration of the gums, tongue, and other oral tissues.

Cats suffering from stomatitis experience challenges in eating or grooming due to the pain and discomfort in their mouths. This discomfort often leads to excessive drooling as a response to the oral pain and inflammation.  Cats may also develop other signs of oral discomfort, such as reluctance to eat, weight loss, bad breath, and pawing at their mouths. 
Utilizing natural supplements can aid in alleviating pain, combating infection, and addressing allergic reactions.

CBD Oil vs. Marijuana For Pets: What's The Difference?

 


CBD Oil vs Marijuana
 
What's The Difference?

Many pet owners consider using CBD oil for their pets but express concerns about the potential psychoactive effects of marijuana.  Whether you're considering CBD for pain or anxiety relief, knowing the differences will enable you to choose the right product based on factors like size, health conditions and intended use.  



CBD Oil from Hemp: 

A Safe Choice for Your Pet


CBD, or cannabidiol, is a compound derived from the hemp plant. Unlike its counterpart, marijuana, hemp contains only trace amounts of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive component responsible for the "high" associated with marijuana. This makes CBD oil from hemp a safe and non-intoxicating option for your pets.



When to Consider CBD Oil for Your Pet


CBD oil from hemp can be especially helpful for pets with:

Anxiety and Stress: CBD has calming properties that may help alleviate anxiety and stress in pets.

Joint and Mobility Support: CBD's anti-inflammatory properties may assist in managing joint discomfort and supporting overall mobility.

Pain: Pain due to a health condition such as cancerIBDPillow Paw or Stomatitis. CBD exhibits anti-inflammatory effects by interacting with receptors and pathways involved in inflammation. Inflammation is a common component of pain and by reducing inflammation, CBD may help alleviate associated discomfort.



CBD Helps Pete's Stomatitis


Pete

"I just wanted to thank you guys for your great service and great products. Our Vet was telling us that we were looking at a very expensive surgery and a full tooth extraction for Pete and that they didn’t know what was causing his stomatitis and it was the only thing they could do to fix it. The antibiotics they gave us weren’t working. Not only did you get me your products immediately, my cat seems to have made a full recovery in 2 weeks. The Vet didn’t tell us Stomatitis was an autoimmune disease, diet related or anything else. You and your website told me that and I believe it was your products (Immune Support KitImmune Harmony and Happy Paws Drops) and knowledge of a diet change that made the entire difference. My family can not thank you guys enough! Pete seems to be back to his normal self and we are just so thankful!" - Ryan, VA

What To Look For When

Choosing A CBD Oil?


Here are some key factors to look for when selecting CBD oil for your pet:

How The Hemp Was Grown & Cultivated: 
Opt for CBD oil derived from organic hemp plants. Organic cultivation reduces the risk of exposure to pesticides and other harmful chemicals. Our hemp-derived Happy Paws Drops is naturally sourced from non-GMO hemp grown in Colorado where no pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers were used. 

Full Spectrum vs. Isolate:
Full-spectrum CBD contains a range of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other beneficial compounds from the hemp plant. This may enhance the overall effectiveness of the CBD oil. Happy Paws is a Full Spectrum CBD Oil containing CBD, CBG, CBN, and CBDA.  

Third-Party Testing:
Choose products that undergo third-party testing for quality and potency.  A "Certificate of Analysis"  is an independent analysis by a third-party that shows the amount and type of cannabinoids in the CBD product as well as the level of THC contained in the product. Happy Paws Drops have a certificate of analysis showing purity, potency and cannabinoid ratios.

Extraction Method:
Look for CBD oil extracted using safe methods such as CO2 extraction. This method ensures a clean and pure end product without the use of harmful solvents. Happy Paws Drops are extracted using the CO2 extraction method. 

CBD Concentration:
Check the concentration of CBD in the product. The ideal concentration varies based on your pet's size, health condition, and the intended use. Happy Paws Drops are veterinary strength, contain 550mg per bottle and approx 18.3mg per ml.  Compare to many pet products with less than 200mg per bottle.  More concentrated means less drops to administer and often a much better value.

Added Ingredients:
Examine the product's ingredient list. Choose CBD oils with minimal additives and natural ingredients. Be cautious of products containing artificial flavors, colors, or unnecessary fillers.

Understanding THC

And Its Effects on Pets

 

THC, found predominantly in marijuana, is the compound responsible for the psychoactive effects. When pets ingest marijuana, they may experience a range of effects, including:

Feeling "Stoned": THC can induce a state of altered consciousness, leading pets to feel disoriented or "stoned."

Coordination Issues: Marijuana toxicity can affect your pet's balance and coordination, posing risks to their safety.

Lethargy: Pets may become unusually tired or sluggish due to the impact of THC.
It's crucial to recognize that the effects of THC on animals can be unpredictable and vary based on factors such as the pet's size, the amount ingested, and individual sensitivity.
 
Marijuana and Potential Benefits for Pets with Cancer
 
While marijuana should be approached with caution due to its THC content, studies suggest potential benefits for pets with cancer. THC, known for its antiemetic properties, may help alleviate nausea & stimulate appetite in pets undergoing cancer treatments. However, it's imperative to consult with your veterinarian before considering marijuana as a complementary therapy for your pet. 




Happy Paws Drops are unrivaled in quality and can benefit your pet in so many ways.  


What makes Happy Paws Drops  so special? 

  • Grown in Colorado on hemp farms utilizing stringent eco-farming practices

  • Proprietary CO2 extraction process uses a gentle, clean and scientifically designed process 

  • Made with NON-GMO, all organic ingredients

  • Approximately 18.3 mg CBD oil per 1 mL 

  • Contains full spectrum hemp oil with CBD, CBG, CBN, and CBDA

  • Independent laboratory testing for purity 

  • Grown without pesticides, herbicides and chemicals in the USA

  • Veterinary Strength - The more concentrated the product (more mg per mL), the better the value and less drops you have to administer to your pet.  Happy Paws contains 550 mg of CBD Oil.  Compare the difference--many pet products contain only 100-200 mg per bottle.

Malachi 

“Our rescued husky Malachi started showing some signs of arthritis & it was causing him to be irritable with our other dogs. He is 9 years old and a big boy at 80 pounds, so it has become more of a struggle to get around. Instead of putting him on pain meds or NSAIDs from the vet, we decided to try Happy Paws Drops. We have seen improvement in how easily he can go up and down the stairs & he's more interested in playing with the younger dogs. Happy Paws helps keep Malachi comfortable.” - Laura, CA

What helped Topaz's Stomatitis

Topaz started to have problems eating so his mom, Linda, took him to the vet. He was diagnosed with stomatitis. Here's what Topaz told us, "My name is Topaz. At the end of last year I got feeling so bad I couldn't eat - my mouth felt like it was on fire! My family was so worried about me and they took me to the vet. I was diagnosed with stomatitis. It was recommended I had all my teeth removed!!! That would have been devastating! The quote was over $2500. My "mom" is an Integrative Health Therapist - she knew nature had a much better way and searched all over the Internet. Wow, I'm so glad she found askariel.com!!!!! They helped save my gums - just by putting a few Silver sprays, Quent & NOT drops, with a little organic olive oil on my grain-free food that I relish. My food still tastes good, and my appetite is super :) My last Vet check went great - no more stomatitis, though they still need to treat my gums. And I need to be more active in my senior years. The Vet was shown a picture of what saved my gums. We totally want to keep this working, so we're sticking with the kind, encouraging experts at askariel.com." Linda, Ca.

Feline Tooth Resorption: Natural Remedies & Diet Changes Can Help


Feline tooth resorption, also known as Feline Odontoclastic Resorptive Lesions (FORL), is a common and painful dental condition affecting cats. This condition involves the gradual destruction and resorption of tooth structure, particularly targeting the enamel and dentin. All that may remain of the original tooth is a raised bump. The exact cause of feline tooth resorption remains unclear, with factors such as genetics, environment, and immune system involvement playing key roles. One connection that has emerged in recent veterinary research is the association between feline tooth resorption and autoimmune conditions, particularly stomatitis. Stomatitis is a chronic and painful inflammation of the oral mucosa, and studies have shown that cats suffering from stomatitis are more prone to developing tooth resorption lesions. The mouth is the first part of the digestive process. Oral disease is usually accompanied by digestive issues. Research suggests that the gut microbiome (the colony of good and bad organisms residing in your cat's intestinal tract) plays a vital role in influencing your cat's overall immune system. Imbalances in the gut microbiome may contribute to inflammatory responses, impacting various areas of the body, including the oral cavity. Having a healthy mouth starts with eating a healthy diet and maintaining a normal balance of flora. Bacteria in the mouth can build up when the pet’s immune system is weakened due to poor digestion.

Maintaining a healthy gut microbiome through the use of probiotics can potentially modulate the immune system and reduce inflammation, benefiting oral health. Probiotics, consisting of beneficial bacteria, and enzymes, which aid in the digestion and absorption of nutrients, have gained attention as potential supplements to support feline oral health. While direct evidence linking probiotics and enzymes to the prevention or treatment of tooth resorption is limited, their role in promoting a balanced gut microbiome can contribute to overall well-being. By reducing inflammation and supporting the immune system, these supplements may indirectly influence the oral health of cats.

Along with Power Probiotic, digestive enzymes and homeopathic immune support drops can also help support your cat's digestive and oral health. Similary feeding a diet that is hypoallergenic and low in carbohydrates has helped many cat owners reduce inflammation in their cat's mouth. Cats are natural carnivores and yet most diets for cats are made for convenience with too many carbohydrates like legumes and grains. Consider incorporating at least some raw frozen food (e.g Instinct, Small Batch, Vital Essentials, Stella & Chewy’s, Primal, etc) into your cat’s diet. Raw diets are low in carbohydrates and rich in real, fresh nutrients. Common allergens like poultry and grains should be avoided. Feline tooth resorption is a complex and multifaceted dental condition that needs to treated by a veterinarian. Understanding the potential links between tooth resorption, autoimmune conditions like stomatitis, and the gut microbiome underscores the need for a holistic approach to feline health. Regular dental care, including professional cleanings and a tailored oral hygiene routine, remains crucial. Additionally, incorporating probiotics and enzymes, under veterinary guidance, may offer supplementary support in managing feline tooth resorption and promoting overall well-being in our kitties.

Feline Stomatitis, Stomatitis in Cats

Dear Dr Gordon: I have a 3 year old Maine Coon cat that has a constant odor coming from the mouth. When I took him to the vet, she was able to look into the back of the mouth and show me my cat’s throat. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. The back of my cat’s throat was raw and the gum tissue around the teeth was very red. The doctor convinced me to put my cat under anesthesia and biopsy the back part of the throat. All the teeth were cleaned and the biopsy revealed a disease (which I can’t remember) that the doctor says has no cure. I am worried that my cat will suffer his entire life with this sore mouth. Is there anything else that I can do? PB

Dear P.B.

Although it is possible that your cat may have some type of cancer in the back of the mouth (a disease that has no cure), I am hoping it is something else. You probably would have remembered if the doctor had said that your cat has a form of throat cancer. I suspect that the biopsy may have revealed a syndrome we see in a certain percentage of pure breed and mixed breed cats, called lymphocytic and/or plasmacytic stomatitis. Please call the doctor to get the name of the disease, for that can affect treatment and outcome.

It is essential to use immune support such as  Power Probiotic for your kitty to feel better. Probiotics can help restore the natural flora in the mouth and throughout the digestive tract.

Let’s dissect the words describing this syndrome. Stomatitis is an inflammation or infection in the mouth. Ok, so far so good. Lymphocytic and/or plasmacytic is a descriptive term illustrating the type of inflammatory cells that are migrating to this inflamed area.

What causes this infection/inflammation to occur in certain cats and not others? We are not sure.
Some viral infections are suspected of increasing the cat’s susceptibility to this disease. Your cat should be checked for the Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV or Feline Aids virus) and the Feline Leukemia Virus. I suspect your doctor has already done this. If not, get it done. The virus does not cause the disease but makes cats more vulnerable to the disease. Others speculate that certain cats (ones that are genetically predisposed), are having an exuberant response to antigens or foreign invaders in the mouth. The suspected culprits are the bacteria inhabiting the tooth roots of some of these cats.

The syndrome is first recognized in fairly young cats that have halitosis (very bad breath, trouble swallowing, lack of appetite, and sometimes gagging). Examination of the teeth and back part of the throat reveals areas of extreme inflammation. It looks (and I am sure feels) like the worst sore throat you have ever had your entire life.

How is this dealt with? If the cat is FIV or FeLV positive, steps should be taken to insure your cat stays indoors and does not expose other cats to the disease. Oral antibiotics and frequent dental cleanings will help keep the mouth in good shape. Although controversial, acupuncture, interferon and lactoferrin can be used to improve the condition of the cat’s lesions. Supplements that we have seen help include Not Drops and Power Probiotic  If the cat is negative for these viruses, most veterinarians will use some type of strong immunosuppressive drug (like corticosteroids or others) to calm down the inflammation and analgesics to relieve the pain.

Although it may sound very extreme, sometimes full mouth extraction of the teeth is the only thing that will bring about relief and return the cat to a decent quality of life. I have seen several cases over the years that have completely resolve only by removing all of the teeth. Most veterinarians will only do this as a last resort, when all other therapies have failed after repeated attempts. I personally have been reluctant to recommend this procedure because it is difficult for the pet in the short term, expensive for the owner, and time consuming for the doctor. The long term success rate, however, leads me to believe that this may be the only thing that will save the cat from life-long pain and suffering.

Cat Stomatitis Holistic Treatments Success Story

Many of you might recall the adorably photogenic kitty Pumpkin who suffers from stomatitis, an autoimmune condition. Pumpkin has been using Ask Ariel products for 2 years. His mom, Cassandra, takes amazing care of him and recently sent us this update. Cat stomatitis holistic treatments really works!

"Thank you so much for everything. The love of my life, Pumpkin, would NOT be here today if it wasn't for you (and he is literally everything to me). He is now 9 1/2 years old, and still going strong. He STILL has not had to go to the vet once (aside from routine dental etc) and has had NO flare ups." Pumpkin uses the Immune Support KitImmune Harmony and  Power Probiotic.

Help! My Pet Smells--Here is What You Can Do To Get Rid Of Smelly Odors


pet odor
You keep smelling that odor.  You try bathing your pet, cleaning the bedding and still the odor persists.   Sometimes you need to be a pet detective to figure out what the source of the odor is.  Pet odors are a warning sign that need your attention!

Smelly Skin and Coat Sometimes a pet owner might conclude "Oh that is just the way Rover smells" but in reality---there is something else going on whether it be an infection, poor diet or digestive issues. Although bathing a pet with medicated shampoos may help, if your pet still smells after having a bath, there may be an underlying health issue and it is a good idea to take your pet for a physical examination.

A common cause of skin odor is infection and allergies (both food and environmental). Pets may have parasitic, bacterial or yeast infections that should not be ignored.  Pets with skin problems. allergies and yeast are frequently reacting to their diet--almost always it contains allergens and too many carbohydrates!  Pets with these issues seem to fare on a raw frozen diet as these foods contain fresh enzymes, are lower in carbohydrates and contain "live" food. Dry foods can be harder to digest, can ferment in the bowel and can therefore promote yeast overgrowth.
ear infections
Stinky EarsIf you smell near your pet's ears and there is a strong odor, take your pet for a checkup right away. Ear infections, left untreated are very painful and can lead to deafness.  Many ear infections are due to yeast overgrowth and using the same protocol for smelly skin and coat would be advised.
cat veterinarian
Bad BreathPets need dental cleanings just like we do. Pets can develop infections in the mouth, have rotting teeth and inflamed gums.  For cats, stomatitis is a leading culprit with bad breath.  Symptoms of stomatitis include red, inflamed gums, mouth odor and reluctance to eat.  Using QuentaSAN and NotaSAN along with Power Probiotic can make a tremendous difference. If you have recently had your pet’s teeth cleaned and there is still a bad odor, then it could be poor digestion or acid stomach and Power ProbioticK9 Digestive Enzymes and Gastro ULC can help.   

Holistic Supplements for Smelly Pets
  • Power Probiotic for Pets-essential for your pet's good health. Supports digestion, helps fight infection and enhances overall immunity.  Very important if your cat has taken any antibiotics.
  • K-9 Yeast Defense-contains natural anti-fungal ingredients that kill off yeast and help rebalance the intestinal tract.  
  • Amazing Omegas- A research-backed, powerful source of omega-3 nutrients that controls allergies.  The best fish oil available for pets. 
  • AllerEaze-Pets with yeast tend to have allergies.  To help reduce your pet's allergy symptoms, you need to do more than just kill off the yeast.  By using AllerEaze along with the yeast protocol, you are giving your pet a natural antihistamine that helps calm down the allergic response.
  • NotaSAN-Natural homeopathic formula that fights inflammation and infections. First line of defense for infections in cats. Can be used safely long-term to prevent recurrences. Use with QuentaSAN for best results.
  • QuentaSAN - Natural homeopathic formula that fights redness and bacterial infections.  Essential for pets that have autoimmune and viral conditions.

Our Natural Anti-Histamine For Dogs And Cats Has Many Benefits

AllerEaze is an all-natural pet allergy supplement combining Quercetin and Nettles.  It has many anti-inflammatory and antihistamine benefits for pets.  AllerEaze helps control symptoms of seasonal environmental allergies in your pet  such as itching, scratching and eye tearing.  

AllerEaze is also helpful for cats with stomatitis,  an autoimmune condition where cats develop an allergic reaction to the plaque in their mouth.  This painful disease results in red inflamed gums and mouth ulcers.  Stomatitis is also referred to as "Teeth Plaque Allergy" so feeding cats a hypoallergenic diet along with using  natural antihistamine AllerEaze to control the allergic response can help.  

AllerEaze can help dogs with mast cell tumors because the quercetin suppresses the dog's histamine release.  Many dogs get recurring tumors so using the AllerEaze as a natural antihistamine along with a hypoallergenic diet is helpful.

Is your pet itching, chewing and scratching due to seasonal allergies? Email us at Support@AskAriel.com and we will be glad to help!

Does Your Cat Have Seasonal Allergies? How Quercetin Can Help

Did you know that cats can get seasonal allergies? Cats, like humans, can experience allergies that manifest through a range of symptoms. Allergic reactions in cats are often associated with environmental factors, food, or substances they come into contact with. Common symptoms of allergies in cats include persistent itching, manifested by excessive scratching, licking, or chewing of fur. Skin issues such as redness, swelling, and the development of small bumps or sores may also occur. Cats with allergies may groom excessively, leading to hair loss, especially in areas prone to licking. Respiratory symptoms, such as sneezing, coughing, or nasal discharge, can be indicative of airborne allergens. Gastrointestinal issues, such as vomiting or diarrhea, may also be observed. Along with skin and digestive symptoms, cats can get tooth plaque allergy (aka stomatitis) as well as mast cell tumors.

Are you looking for a natural antisthamine for cats? Quercetin is a natural antihistamine (often referred to as nature's benadryl) that has gained attention for its potential benefits for cats, particularly in managing allergies and inflammatory conditions like stomatitis and mast cell tumors. Quercetin, a flavonoid, is a substance found in colorful produce (e.g. berries) that contributes to its vibrant pigmentation. Quercetin assists in regulating the release of histamine, the culprit behind allergic reactions, and stabilizes mast cell tumors, which release histamine into the bloodstream.
Ask Ariel’s AllerEaze contains a powerful combination of quercetin and nettles that works wonders as an anti-inflammatory and antihistamine, providing much-needed relief. For sensitive kitties, you might need to use an oral syringe but it’s worth it! For optimal results, pair AllerEaze with Power Probiotic to give your cat’s immune system an extra boost!
