Juvenile-onset periodontitis, caudal aspect, cat

Nine-month-old domestic medium-hair cat with juvenile-onset periodontitis. Note the gingival inflammation surrounding all of the teeth. Note also that inflammation does not extend to the palatoglossal arches in the caudal oral cavity, which distinguishes this condition from feline stomatitis.
