My cat has chronic stomatitis. Tried meds, no teeth out. Solutions?

Question

My cat suffers from persisting stomatitis for 2 years. It is sometimes accompanied by puking. His fur looks really bad. We tried gels, antibiotics, immunostimulators. Nothing helped. Also we don't want to take out his teeth. What else can we do/try? Please help. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 6 years and 5 months old | 6 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Mao! Unfortunately the standard of care and treatment of choice is full mouth extractions. This cures about 80% of stomatitis cats. Other less ideal options are: a prescription hypoallergenic diet, probiotics and long term steroids, and brushing his teeth twice daily. Also you can try cleaning his teeth under anesthesia and only removing the diseased teeth, not all of them, then commit to twice daily teeth brushing. Good luck
