Yes…teeth removal helps with about 80 percent of the cases (not so with my cat…he fell in the 20 percent…but he is on cyclosporine and that medicine on top of the extractions has helped him…in another 6 months he may be able to stop it)….I am surprised that the first vet was just giving your cat...

What kind of shots did they give him and why is his teeth being removed?

What immunosuppressive therapy is he being given?  The surgery for my cat didn't work…in 20 percent of the cases it doesn't work…but the dental vet told me that in such cases, there is a therapy called cyclosporine that can help…this is a type of an immunosuppressive drug...and that after a year...

HE ATE!  THANK YOU LORD,  HE ATE! HE ATE HE ATE HE ATE HE ATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He at a full mini can of wet food mixed with water!  The steroids helped…I truly hope that the dental extractions will eventually heal his stomatitis, but in the meanwhile, until we know more, at...

Well, since my last post I managed to give him a jar of baby food…but then another 24 hrs past and he wouldn't eat so I had to go back to the dental vet again.  They checked his mouth…it is healing well, so they think it is his stomatitis causing the pain.  It is possible that the extractions...

I am so sad. The vet told me the extractions went well, they took X-rays afterwards.  I have been in touch with the vet who did the extractions this morning.  He told me he wants to see improvement by tomorrow.  I just called them again and am waiting for a return phone call because I want more...

He's back to not eating again.  After that jar and a half of baby food yesterday he won't touch anything.  I blended some tuna fish and water and tried that.  He seemed interested.  I left the room for a minute to use the bathroom and when i came back he was moaning in pain with a bit of tuna...

Where can I get Nutrical?  As a local pet store?

Thank you very much.  I called the emergency vet and he told me it was a good start and that I probably won't need the feeding tube option, however he did tell me that the baby food is not enough calories for a long term in take.  Each jar is only 40 calories and a full grown cat is supposed to...

Great news everyone!  I finally got my boy to eat a whole jar (its pretty small, but still) of baby food: beef and beef broth (beech nut  brand) baby food.  I was so relieved I almost cried.  He was under my bed, so I half crawled under with him and extended a spoon full of the baby food, and...

Thanks for the info.  How long was it before you girl would eat?  I would be so relived if he would just eat a little bit.  I want him to feel better and I  don't want to have to take him to the vet again tomorrow.  Not only can I not afford another trip to the vet (todays was the 6th visit this...

Thanks for your support.  This is a fantastic site. I will let you know how it goes….Hope he relaxes a bit.  I am trying to leave him  alone to relax rather than chase him around with food like my heart wants me to.  But my brain tells me that this would be counter productive and that I should...

Thank you.  He still wouldn't eat or drink today so I took him to the emergency vet and they gave him fluids and injected him with pain meds that should last for three days.  The problem is that if he doesn't eat by tomorrow afternoon, the vet said he would need a feeding tube.  I am so worried...

He still wouldn't eat or drink this morning so I brought him to the emergency vet and they gave him fluids and the three day pain injection.  I really hope he eats in the next 24 hrs because if he doesn't, the vet said he will have to get a feeding tube.  I am so worried.  I hope the pain meds...

My cat had all of his teeth removed yesterday because he as a very bad case of stomatitis and he won't eat or drink anything. It has been more than 30 hours!   I am really worried!  How long does it take for them to recover from surgery?  Should I call up an emergency vet clinic?  It is 12:30 AM...

My cat was diagnosed with stomatitis.  He has been on steroids for two years,…but they had stopped working.  Yesterday he had all of his teeth removed and I am hoping that he will be better soon.  But in the meanwhile, since the surgery, he has barely had anything to eat or drink (he managed to...
