    Swollen lip/Rodent ulcer treatment?

    I know this is an old thread but I wanted to post an update just in case anyone finds themselves in a similar situation. Leo hasn’t had any stomach problems, egc flare ups, gingivitus, excessive shedding, or poor appetite since we entirely removed peas from his diet and switched to all wet food...

    Hair lifted all over body?

    Hi, my boy Leo is having a bit of a stomach flare up of sorts this week. He is doing better and eating more, but one thing that I noticed that isn’t going away is his fur is standing up on his entire body. I can feel when I go to pet him that he is fluffier than usual, and it will smooth out...

    Swollen lip/Rodent ulcer treatment?

    They were for the digestive thing. I didn’t ask about what antibiotics he would have gotten. That will probably be our next step. I think I’m going to try to transition his food over the next few weeks, I probably won’t be able to do it fast enough to stop the next ulcer attack though (if this...

    Swollen lip/Rodent ulcer treatment?

    He would have gotten antibiotics for it had he not been on them a month before (clavamox and metrodinazole). The digestive issues were related to trying turkey and salmon. He also couldn’t tolerate royal canin hp. We have been on the rabbit for maybe 6 months, with the last 2 months being the...

    Swollen lip/Rodent ulcer treatment?

    Hi, this is sort of a late update, but maybe someone else will find this useful or think of something I havent. We ended up taking him to the vet and it was eosinophilic granuloma complex, as expected, and he was given prednisolone. He was on 1 pill a day for 7 days, then a pill every other day...

    Kitten diarrhea, what to expect/insist on from vet?

    So she’s finished up the metro and her poos are definitely not solid but they have a little shape to them now, they are definitely not puddles anymore. Since finishing the metro I’ve started giving her a proviable dc capsule everyday, haven’t seen much improvement yet but it has only been a few...

    Kitten diarrhea, what to expect/insist on from vet?

    So the vet sent me the test results and they didn’t run the PCR panel I wanted, which I am sad about but expected, but they ran one that checked for worms/Giardia. At the bottom it does recommend the test I wanted. I am trying to decide when to ask for this. She’s on day 5 of the metro and maybe...

    Kitten diarrhea, what to expect/insist on from vet?

    So she’s been on the metro for about 4 days and her poops seem slightly better, but still pretty runny and smelly. The start of her poos sometimes starts to look semi formed and then by the end it’s a puddle, if that makes sense. I’m hoping we continue to see some improvement, I’m not sure how...

    Kitten diarrhea, what to expect/insist on from vet?

    I called yesterday and the doctor said they overnighted the panel and it came back negative for everything (everything being worms and giardia). So she prescribed metrodinazole and I picked it up yesterday afternoon. She said if we don’t see improvement by monday to call her back and we will try...

    Kitten diarrhea, what to expect/insist on from vet?

    I agree waiting on the results is probably best, but the panel they did for me only checks for worms and giardia. I was really hoping for a full diarrhea panel, which I said multiple times, so I’m not sure why I got this one. Part of me wants to call and ask about antibiotics today, but I doubt...

    Kitten diarrhea, what to expect/insist on from vet?

    Hi again, so we took her to the vet today. I am not sure if I am happy with the outcome. They immediately didn’t want to do the fecal panel, but they did a fecal smear and float. They said they did see bacterial imbalance, but nothing in particular. I pushed for the fecal panel, and they did do...

    Kitten diarrhea, what to expect/insist on from vet?

    No not yet, I am thinking that will probably be what they suggest when we go to the vet next. I just hope they also want to do some testing though. I’ll post an update whenever we go. I planned on waiting until the end of the week to make the appointment but it’s been bothering me so much I...

    Kitten diarrhea, what to expect/insist on from vet?

    Hi everyone, I’m back again needing more cat diarrhea advice, this time for our 4 (maybe 5 at this point) month old kitten. I’ll try to make this short. We got her at the beginning of this month, and a day or two after having her home her poops started to become runny. Apparently the day before...

    Swollen lip/Rodent ulcer treatment?

    Well, he’s never had the ulcer/swelling on his lips before, but he’s prone to gut inflammation and diarrhea, which has sometimes intensified when he is stressed. He had a flare up about a month ago where he had extreme inflammation in his gut and eosinophilia. I believe it was an allergic...

    Swollen lip/Rodent ulcer treatment?

    Hi everyone. My poor boy Leo is having another issue lately. About 2 weeks ago I noticed a raw red spot on his upper lip, which seems to have turned into an ulcer (picture 1). It then turned into his entire upper lip being swollen (picture 2). At this point we called the vet and they didn’t seem...

    Thank you for the reassurance! Looks like I was just being paranoid :)
