Re: Jelly Roll -eating less

Barbara, Have you tried peroxicam for the gingivitis?  I got it in liquid form, with what's suppose to be fish flavor.  It actually just tastes like a heavy oil, they probably don't expect owners to taste it.  It's a prescription, so ask your vet about it.  It has really helped relieve their sore mouths.  I'm praying for Jelly and you.

I don't remember if you had started that. Sometimes that gets them going. Michelle
