Dog & Cat Success Stories

Finn - Feline with Gingivostomatitis

Finn was diagnosed with stomatitis and Calicivirus at just 5 months old. We tried several medications and his condition persisted. We were willing to do whatever it took to help him be able to live well and not have to pull his teeth. We finally tried the stem cell treatment just shy of his first birthday and it seemed to improve and maintain his condition especially over time so that Finn is happy, healthy, and living a great life. We plan to administer cells every year or so to keep his condition manageable and hopefully keep him healthier too. VetStem had been fantastic in terms of support and responsiveness whenever we have questions. Update: To keep the progress up, we have banked Finn's cells and have administered additional stem cell treatments almost annually along with a teeth cleaning. The staff at Vet Stem have been fantastic to work with, cheering for Finn throughout. We are thrilled to say that Finn's gums continue to look good and his condition has remained mild. He still has all his teeth (except two that were pulled due to regular tooth decay) and happily eats kibble and other treats. At 5 years old, Finn still is a happy-go-lucky guy who loves to run around and play all day long.
