Question 1

It's impossible for me to rub this on my cats gums. Is there any other way i can administer this to my cat?

Accepted Answer

I know this is an old question but if anyone is looking here, the best way I found to administer to a cat (partially feral!) is to squirt about an inch or so into the top of a 1mm needless syringe (they can be purchased here on Amazon) put the plunger in which will push all the product to the end (hopefully w/o bubbles or pushing it out the tip). Then put the tip of syringe between side lips or back by jaw hinge lip area. Squirt 1/2 inch to each side of gums if you can but if not just get it in, it will disburse around the mouth once in there. I do this w/cat tucked under one arm w/my hand under jaw to hold head still usually cat next to my side near corner of a couch etc. (cat wrapped in towel if need be) and using dominant hand to administer w/syringe. This way you know exactly how much you got in there, you don't have to put on fingers etc. or contaminate the tube. Stuff works great once you get it in there. :)

Question 2

What are the ingredients in the antiseptic gel?

Accepted Answer

In the Oratene antiseptic gel that I got instead of the old version called Biotene this is in order on the box: Aloe Vera, Dextrose, Glyceryl Polymethacrylate, Hydroxyethyl, Cellulose, Polyglycitol, Potassium Iodide, Sorbitol  also Natural Enzymes: Glucose Oxidase, Lactoferrin, Lactoperoxidase, Lysozyme.Now these are ingredients for original Biotene Antiseptic Gel I use to get :   (in order how it was wiritten on original box  Polyglycitol, Glyceryl Polymethacrylate, Sorbitol, Hydroxyethyl Cellulose, Dextrose, Aloe Vera, Potassium Iodide, Lysozyme, Lactoperoxidase, Lactoferrin, Glucose OxidaseI did order one of these and just used it on my dog and it (Oratene) seemed to work.  Since I can't get original (Biotene) any more from my vet I ordered this.  Just wish they would change the pic and info to say Oratene so you know you are not getting the original.  As far as I see from manufacturing company they are the one that changed the product. Why I don't know and why my vet doesn't carry it any more either

Question 3

Is there a change of ingredient and tone of blue on pdt label to a darker tone? 1st ingredient from vet is aloe Vera.

Accepted Answer

I don't know if there is a change now but what I bought is the same as I bought from my vet when I started using it. The first ingredient is aloe Vera. Hope this helps.

Question 4

How long is this good for?

Accepted Answer

How long does it last? Depends on how many applications you are doing. A 3 pack should last 4-6 months. I do it once a day for my dog
