What is Chronic Feline Gingivostomatitis?

Chronic Feline Gingivostomatitis (FCGS) is a severe inflammatory condition that affects a cat’s gums and mouth, leading to redness, swelling, and ulceration. This condition can make eating and grooming extremely painful, significantly impacting your cat’s quality of life. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial in managing FCGS and alleviating your cat’s discomfort.
