Kenzie, I'm sorry to read that Maggie has mouth ulcers. Here is a link to a CRF site on slippery elm bark. http://www.felinecrf.org/holistic_treatments.htm#SEB1 Mouth ulcers are common with CRF and the SEB has helped many. SEB can also help with diarrhea. Lick lipping is also a sign of nausea. SEB also helps with mild nausea. You can buy SEB at health food store, Whole Foods or on line. Did the vet do any blood work? If the ulcers persist you may want to talk to your vet about Carafate. Here is a link to more info. http://www.marvistavet.com/html/sucralfate.html Hugs to Maggie Sharyl Sissy and Rocket Kenzie Kanne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: .hmmessage P { margin:0px; padding:0px } body.hmmessage { FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY:Tahoma } Hi Everyone- Last I posted we had tested negative which was great! They had been previously exposed. Well Maggie began doing a lot of lip licking and had some small drool- not a lot just a bit here and there- I also noticed kitty acne and have since switched to only stainless steel bowls from the plastic. But I did take her to the vet and she has ulcers/sores on her tongue and he thinks they may run through her digestive track. She was having some diarrhea. She was never running fevers thought so I think that's good. He said they aren't rodent ulcers because they aren't on her lips and he's never seen anything like this before. He gave her a long lasting steriod shots and she is on amoxicillin. I still give her her vitamin supps even though she has tested negative. She was having a heard time w/ her hard food and treats and wanting to swallow it whole so I have softened the hard food w/ water and we also have soft food 2 x's daily- I have been giving her extra because she does have the appetite and w/ not eating the dry, I don't want her to loose too much weight- Has anyone ever had this happen? Does anyone have any ideas? I am worried about her. Any advice would be great!
