Re: [Felvtalk] Tora's under jaw lymp node swollen
Hey Amanda, Has your vet suggested steriod shots for the stomatitis, such as depomedrol or prednisolone. :) Wendy  "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world - indeed it is the only thing that ever has!" ~~~ Margaret Meade ~~~ From: amanda To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Thursday, January 8, 2009 5:13:36 AM Subject: [Felvtalk] Tora's under jaw lymp node swollen Hi all, I was wondering what should I do, my cat has FeLV related stomatitis and again his lymp nodes on the right side is swollen, should he again take interefon? or just the antibiotics? I think his stomach/mouth irritation is from eating a pice of cake which he stole from the table last week! Please advise! hugs Amanda and Tora. ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org ___ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
Re: [Felvtalk] Tora's under jaw lymp node swollen
I'm so sorry - If it were my kitty, I'd keep him on interferon (low dose oral). I don't know, but I'd guess the swollen lymph node means he's fighting an infection. Different vets have different prices for interferon. If cost is an issue, you might check around. I get a large amount for about $15.
