Clinical measure of disease severity. All cats had severe oral mucosal inflammation at the caudal oral cavity (A₁, B₁, C₁). Clinical response among the responder cats was characterized by complete clinical remission (A₂) in three cats and substantial clinical improvement in two cats (B₂). No response was observed in two cats (C₂). The stomatitis activity disease index (SDAI) was used to score disease severity of all cats that completed the study. (D): Table showing the SDAI scores at entry and at exit of the study with a calculation of percent recovery. Data for nonresponders are in gray and italicized type (cats 4 and 7). (E): Graph of SDAI scores at entry and exit indicating five responding cats (black circles) and two nonresponding cats (open boxes). Abbreviations: Post, after treatment; pre, before treatment.
