Hi everyone. Long story short my kitty Marble is 8. He’s had all his teeth removed due to FORLs and suspected stomatitis. I thought that this last procedure to remove the last of his teeth would rid him of the inflammation in his mouth so he couldn’t back to being my happy & pain free boy again. I was wrong. He is still in pain daily, even on meds & steroids for inflammation. He does still eat but he’s not himself anymore & I can tell he’s hurting by the occasional drool and mouth chattering/jerking. He’s been to a dental specialist & they see nothing left in the mouth or anything wrong with the jaw to indicate an issue with the extraction surgeries. Did an extensive blood panel and all came back normal. They want to chalk it up to a food allergy. Which is okay, I guess. I’ve got him on new wet and dry food (for when I’m not home) for about 2 weeks now. I don’t see much improvement. My question is how long would it usually take to see a difference from the new food? Also has anyone else dealt with this or can help me figure out what else it could be? I’ve tested for everything I can think of. Even the oral specialist is at a loss.
