Re: Stomatitis gone south?

Michelle,    Good ideas, thanks!  I wonder if a vet dentist would help, though, since Jimi's mouth is OK now, unless this pain he has is related to the stomatitis, somehow.  Hmmm.....  I will think on that.       I am interested in Immuno-Regalin and Acemannan, too.  I know there is some info on the main page of the feline leukemia page, I will go over there next.       I forgot about slippery elm!  I have some that is already in a little vial and is syruppy but maybe it is better if you make up a fresh batch.  I will give that a try, for sure.       I guess I am confused, I thought prednisolone is depo-medrol.  Another thing to research and think about.  I sure appreciate all the tips, Michelle.   Anne and Jimi Too Cool, Simms and Sophie in MI, among other furry friends   *******************************************************************************************************************************88   Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2006 22:02:32 EDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Stomatitis gone south? To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Here are my ideas (all just shots in the dark):   1. Go to a veterinary dentist rather than a regular vet. They are more  specialized.   2. Try one of the intensive immune supports that have seemed to help other  kinds of immune problems in positive cats, like Immuno-Regulin or  Acemannan.   3.  Try slippery elm syrup (open five capsules into 1 cup of boiling  water, stir constantly until it thickens, shut off heat and stir while it  cools-- it makes a syrupy consistency) if you can syringe it into him so it goes  in his mouth and then he swallows it. It's supposed to be soothing to inflamed  mouth, throat, stomach, intestines, etc.  I would syringe 3 cc's a few  times a day.   4. Try prednisolone shots instead of depo-medrol. Several people on this  list have found it worked better than depo for their cats with various  problems.   Michelle
