Unfortunately our entire inside colony of 11 cats was exposed to the calici virus due to a feral cat outside who had it and whom I didn't know had it. I was feeding him outside and brought his plate to the sink and that is surely how it was brought inside. I learned my lesson, but for 11 years I fed cats outside without this happening.
One of our cats is 10 years 10 months and has had a rebound of the calici virus. He takes Orbax for his mouth ulcers and inflamed gums. I am very sad for him. I read about the use of Borax on the tongue to help the ulcers but wonder if it helps the gums as well.
I don't know what kind of borax they are talking about, also.
He has asthma (very mild with infrequent coughing) so I don't want to aggravate it. He is not needing medication for the asthma.
Are other things done to relieve the painful gum inflammation or ulcers? Yes, he is eating. We feed a careful diet of raw food which I got from being on the IBD Raw feeding of cats Facebook group which has helped me tremendously.
I am practicing isolation as best I can and no shared plates, etc.
I use Lactoferrin, L Lysine and Nexabiotic in his food (s boulardi). I have got that covered <s>.
Thanks.
