Instructions
Pay a visit to your veterinarian to see whether your cat does have a gum infection. Antibiotics and antiseptic topical gels will be prescribed if an infection is present.
Give your cat antibiotics until the gum infection clears up. Once the infection is gone, you can start treating the gum disease that likely caused the infection.
Use antiseptic topical gels on your cat's gums if they were prescribed. This will treat the gingivitis.
Brush your cat's teeth at least a few times a week. Good dental hygiene is important for the prevention of future infections.
Feed your cat dry food. This type of food is abrasive and prevents plaque and tartar buildup on the teeth.
