Oh he's adorable! Maybe try putting this as a new thread re food as this one was for teeth probs and it may get missed. I know cats need food with enough taurine in it. Some feed raw and would perhaps give you some tips. Commercially produced food varies, and there is a new one that's...

Could it not just be a throat ulcer that caused that. I hope he's doing okay

Any updates?

Luca tested positive in that he has high calicivirus antibodies, but may have been vaccinated. Still not good news

Poor Luca is very stressed going to the vets. When Elmo had tooth out she ead not given metacam as vet said not recommended anymore..i looked into it and apparently so. No easy answers. Im so pleased you are managing your cat. I hate that they suggested returning Luca...they must reckon its bad...

Awww poor kittie. Did they do a blood test? Luca has had one but i was told it can bring back a false positive if vaccinated so swabs best. The vet said a general anaesthetic would be needed as she known 2 cats bite and swallow the swab! I refused it. Is it manageable...just preparing if Luca...

CJM. Thanks for your input. What were the first symptoms your cat had? Im hoping mild gingivitis wasn't first sign

Oh how sad. Strangely enough Elmo became ill on my birthday and died around first anniversary of my fathers death. It's too much isn't it? I'm hoping it all turns out well for you too.

Oh this is awful for you and Luca. He is young to have cancer surely.? I hope its more of a infection response. Ive only had my Luca 19 days and losing sleep with worry. Think I'm high alert after losing my beautiful Elmo in May.

Funny but lucas fur looks pleated at times. Mouths look similar? We think luca may have some siamese in him with his pointy snout and big ears

Luca shows no symptoms..just seen at vets. Have you managed to get swabs done?

Ps sorry about the spelling i was on the bus. It's meant to say how did it start when your cat got fcv

How did it start in your cat start with it. My luca has no symptoms, vet noticed gingivitid on routine check. I guess if fvc is present it just gets worse? This is his mouth now.
