Comprehensive Blood Analysis in Feline Chronic Gingivostomatitis

A full CBC on blood preserved in EDTA was performed on FCGS (n = 23) and healthy (n = 8) cats (Bayer ADVIA 120; Bayer Diagnostics, Tarrytown, NY, http://healthcare.bayer.com, Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, School of Veterinary Medicine, UC Davis). Routine serum biochemistry was performed for all FCGS cats included in the study. Inclusion into this study was conditioned on no evidence of systemic illness and normal biochemistry panel with exception of hyperproteinemia and hyperglobulinemia (previously reported as common in cats with in FCGS) (10 (link)). All cats in this study were confirmed negative for FIV and FeLV. The cats were not tested for feline calicivirus. The mucosal tissues from FCGS cats were collected under general anesthesia from the area lateral to the palatoglossal folds using iris scissors. Full-thickness 6–8 mm biopsies were obtained from grossly affected mucosa and adjacent normal mucosa.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
