Hi there Mister here again. I had to go back to the vet again yesterday and it seems that I have stomatitis.
Feline stomatitis is a severe, painful inflammation of a cat’s mouth and
gums. In most cases, the condition causes ulcers to form in the mouth;
these ulcers can involve the lips, tongue, gums, and back of the throat.
Cats of any age or breed can be affected.
So usually, extraction of the teeth makes the stomatitis better. So far it hasn't helped Mister which has the vets scratching their heads. So he has to go on steroids for a while to see if that will help. He does not have any ulcers on his lips or tongue. We have had two other cats, Boyzo and Splitters and they were both all right after the teeth came out.So hopefully we can keep Mister comfortable.
*******************************
Enjoy your Thursday
Oh, I hope this clears up now. Marg, you are such a good Mom! Hug.
ReplyDeleteStomatitis is such a frustrating condition to treat. I recently spoke with a vet at a veterinary conference who has had good success treating stomatitis with laser treatments. You may want to ask you vet about that.
ReplyDeletePoor Mister. We hope he can find some relief. We're purring for him.
ReplyDeleteOh Mister, I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope stomatitis will get cleared quickly.
ReplyDeleteoh no MISTER. I AM SO SORRY THAT SOUNDS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. MOM AND I ARE SENDING YOUR HEALING PURRS AND HUGS

ReplyDeletepoor Mister. we are sending purrs. Tim didn't heal up right after his extractions either... he was put on antibiotics and it took about a month to get him back to "normal"
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that handsome Mister has this problem. Hope he's not too uncomfortable and the condition clears up soon.

My Tiny had stomatitis since he was a kitten. He is now a little over 3. We tried everything to save his teeth including laser treatments but he eventually had all but 4 fangs extracted. I've been using Oratene Maintenance Oral Gel and Oratene Antiseptic Oral Gel on the 4 teeth Tiny has and they seem to help him. There is also another product called Ora Vet but the Oratene is so much easier to apply and Tiny doesn't mind it. I think the Ora Vet has to be prescribed by a vet and it is a bit pricey. I order the Oratene on line. So far, Tiny hasn't had any flareups. I hope Mister can be helped by his vet. He is a very handsome boy.
ReplyDeleteSure are purring for you Mister. That's painful and NOT fun....
ReplyDeleteWe're sorry to hear this Mister! Hope they figure out how to make you feel better very soon!!
ReplyDeleteI never even heard of stomatitis until I read your post - Thanks for alerting me to this and I hope Mister gets better soon.
ReplyDeleteOh, no, Mister! We hope you get to feeling better soon! That sounds really painful.
