Thanks again Winniesmomma! We had another good day yesterday. He is eating normal portions. He has trouble and it takes him a while but he is getting it done. He is also drinking and even playing a little. The trouble is his tongue is still to one side and hangs over a little. I have a vet appt...

Hi Weebeasties! There has been some improvement on the mucus. He is still sneezing frequently though, there just doesn't seem to be as much mucus production. I am grateful that he has improved a bit, but when I see glimpses of my healthy boy, my heart aches to have him back that way permanently...

Another update. The new vet gave me some prescription food which he has been loving. He has been eating pretty well the past two nights. Still has a hard time and its takes him a while but he finished almost the whole can both days. He has also been drinking water. I am seeing glimpses of his...

Update. Took my boy to a specialist at a totally different facility. She thinks he has a neurological issue, which is why his tongue is curved to one side. She also believes that maybe he can’t feel his tongue and is biting it, causing the lesions. She said he has a bad infection. She gave me a...

Oh please don’t apologize! You aren’t muddying anything. I really appreciate your suggestions. I am open to any and everything. Thanks for your help and well wishes.

Hi! Thank you for the suggestion. The vet tried a steroid injection last week. He said it may help with the inflammation in his mouth. Did not see much change. So happy it worked for your kitty!

I agree. I am going to push for more answers tomorrow. He hasn’t had a fever. I specifically asked the vet about blood work to confirm my suspicions of cancer and he said that there blood panels are not the same as they are for human beings. I am not sure exactly what the blood does show but he...

The vet that did the cleaning is not affiliated with the hospital I took him to. He has a small practice and didn’t have the capability to do ultrasounds, and xrays. I went to a large veterinary hospital. He saw multiple vets at the animal hospital and none of them saw the lesions. It has to be...

Update. Last night was so scary. Right before I went to bed I saw my cats face and paws covered in blood. In total panic called the vets emergency number and rushed him over to animal hospital. They think the lesions popped. All they did was give him so pain medicine. He seems to be acting...

He did not mention an antiviral. He said to give him an antibiotic because something the lesions cause secondary bacterial infections. I will ask him about anti viral drugs. Thanks!

Hi! He was vaccinated but vet says it’s not 100 percent effective. I’ve had 4 panels of blood work. The vet told me that their is no blood test to confirm cancer in cats. He said it’s not the same as it is for human beings. I mentioned calicivirus because his symptoms match up. I have never...

Hi guys! After your helpful posts yesterday I went home and got a look inside in his mouth and saw a lesion. I was convinced it was cancer. Brought him to vet today and he saw quite a few on his tongue. He said it does not look like cancer. He also said the sneezing and running nose was...

Thanks for your response and well wishes weebeasties. I’m so sorry about your cat.

Did either of your cats have teeth chattering? I also noticed him sneezing a lot and mucus dripping from his nose. Was that an issue for either of you? Going back to vet tomorrow. This is miserable.
