Has anyone tried Transfer Factor on a cat with stomatitis and if so did it seem to work and did the cat eat it or was it difficult to administer?

Carolina, first off, thanks for detailed response. I’m trying to decide if I should go to a dental vet specialist or stick with my regular vet. I have appts scheduled with both. Regular vet wants to do a biopsy. Dental specialist says they may be able to diagnosis it just by looking at it (still trying to determine if it is stomatitis or not). Did you have a biopsy and do you think it is better to work with a dental specialist or do you just go there as opposed to a regular vet for convenience? Sparkle has was lethargic for 10 days with periods of gagging. She is / was on antibiotics, prednisone and buprenex. Today, about 2 hours after she woke up, it was like a light was switched and she’s mostly back to her regular playful self. We’ll see what tomorrow brings. There is still a red patch on the roof of her mouth and what appears to be a lymph node is swollen.. Had I not told his dentist,,,,
I went to a dentist who was a specialist in stomatitis. No biopsy was done or necessary. I choose to take them to the dentist for the same reason I go to the dentist - they specialize in different things; if you have the choice/opportunity to go to a dentist, that's definitely what I would recommend, especially when dealing with stomatitis.Carolina, first off, thanks for detailed response.

Did you ever get a biopsy?
FWIW, she is on a raw food diet already and has been since May as she developed food allergies last January and it took us 5 months to find foods she would eat and was not allergic to.
