greg1229 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 As some of you know, my foster pup Baby Girl suffers from redden gums. The group vet thinks it might be CUPS..Chronic Ulcerative Paradental Stomatitis (CUPS), is a disease caused from a hypersensitivity to bacteria contained within the plaque which coats the teeth. And suggested removing all her teeth. She isn't getting any of the ulcers on her gums so we talked to an immunologist at OSU. He feels it is some other Immune issue that I can't even begin to pronounce. But in order to know for sure I am taking Baby Girl to the vet Thursday for a biopsy of her gums and then it will be sent of to be tested. Lord willing and the creek don't rise, it will be what the OSU docs think it is. And very treatable with some meds and she gets to keep all her teeth. I take her in at noon and they put her under, get the sample and a few hours later I bring her home. Not sure when we will get the results back but crossing my fingers. The gum issue has put her way down on the "wanted" list by potential adopters because of the possible teeth extractions. If it is the simple thing of meds she will move right up I am sure. Please cross your fingers, houndies cross your paws and we will see. I'll update when I know more Greg Quote Isis, Always in my Heart Bijou, My Sweetest Angel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guppy Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 My grey's dental specialist thinks he may also have CUSP too. I was just wondering what the biopsy results were for Baby Girl and what the outcome was for her. Regards, Leanne Tucker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlies_Dad Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) Greg, our Stewie has the same issue, red/inflamed gums and after the biopsy, he has CUPS based on the description and from what I recall of our discussion with out vet. We are brushing carefully and spraying daily with the hope we can try and control however we also know likely some day all his teeth will need to removed. Good thoughts for your girl.
