My cat has for the second time been diagnosed with eosinophilic granuloma. The vet cleaned his teeth and found it again under his tongue. It was biopsied and we are waiting for a confirmation on the diagnosis. If it is this he will be treated with steroids. My vet says this is an allergy...
It looks like a granuloma on her top lip. Those can be very painful, which would cause her eating to be off. They are usually caused by stress, which she had with going to the vet and the dental work done.
...her jaw bones or her remaining teeth (no dental disease like periodontitis). He was able to diagnose her right off the bad with a pyogenic granuloma. She has a Class 3 malocclusion because of the way her skull is shaped. When our general vet removed her bottom molar, it made it so the top...
...steroids will be needed as those are what is helping her rather than the food.
I did a search on this site for threads about EG and thought you might be interested in looking through them while wait for others to respond directly.

I had a kitty who was prone to ulcers under her tongue, but was never diagnosed with eosinophilic granuloma. We gave her steroids and pain meds. The vet told us that stress was a contributing factor.
It looks like it could possibly be an eosinophilic granuloma. I would get your kitty to the vet for a check up.
One form of eosinophilic granuloma is sometimes referred to as a rodent ulcer (nothing to do with rodents). Here is an article about condition, which is very much treatable...
...It is very treatable but might recur if the cause isn't determined. Here is an article (see link belwo) on the family of eosinophilic granuloma complex skin disorders, including the indolent ulcer.

Hi thanks for this response! They tried doxycycline but it was only 3 days I believe. He was also resisting it so much (kept coughing it up) that the vet said to let it go. This was earlier in the journey before the ct scan and diagnosis. Is this only in pill form? Did your cat have similar...
Hi there. I'll go look at your original post better but I saw the one said it was a granuloma found in the nose nostil (eosinophilic granuloma) from what I understand eosinophilic granuloma encompasses a family of things. Have they looked at / tried doxycycline? I know it's the go to for pillow...
It could be a lip granuloma. My cat has had one 3 times. It's caused by food allergies usually. I changed her food a few times and it went away, but came back again, so I guess she developed an allergy to the food over time. So I discussed it with the doctor and we have put her on prescription...
I have a cat that had a lip granuloma 3 different times. When I googled it, it said it's caused almost always by a food allergy. I changed her food and it would go away. With the 3rd one appearing, I took her to the vet and she's now on a hypoallergenic diet. Check what the injection was your...
My little Maude went in for a teeth cleaning late last year and they found this right at the back of her tongue. It was quite large and was the cause of her rather bad breath as it turns out.
Since then we have swapped her to a hypoallergenic diet and she has had two steroid injections over I...
Thanks, I was kind of thinking the same thing. She is also recently out of remission with her diabetes so I am testing her blood sugar a couple times a day and she's getting insulin again. She's probably still pretty stressed despite being 3+ weeks out from the dental work.
Hi. I agree with the above, and these insects you have could be another trigger. This is likely a form of Eosinophilic granuloma complex, which includes 'rodent' or indolent ulcers, and they can be due to insects (especially fleas), dietary and environmental allergies, infectious agents, and...
Hello,
Is there possibly a new miracle cure for EGC? My cat Misty suffers badly from these. In addition to the rodent ulcers on her lip, she recently had a nasty lesion on her leg (still wearing a cone to stop her from licking). Now she has something on her ear. The cortisone injections help...
She needs to go to the vet. It looks like rodent ulcers (not caused by rodents), also called eosinophilic granuloma. They can be very painful. The vet can also treat for fleas.
Years ago, Teddy Bear used to get frequent episodes of eosinophilic granuloma. The vet always treated it with steroids. Through trial and error, I discovered that she was allergic to the teaspoon of milk I was giving her every day. Once I stopped that, much to Teddy’s displeasure, she never got...
Hello! Thank you so much for your response. Has been to the vet - you’re bang on! Kitty has had an injection and is now going to be on the mend. Thank you again :)
