Hi Karen,
Gingivitis is a common symptom with our felv babies. I got an oral

their gums, (one quarter of their mouth eod or so). I figured it was

I also don't think you have to worry, but you may want to get your

I've just talked to our vet, who wants us to come in and give Patches

Depending on what the problem is, dexamethasone, a strong injectible
steroid, can really help with energy and appetite. The only things it would be
bad for, I think, are kidney failure or systemic infection.

actually, this one says that the kaopectate issue has to do with a recent

Well, it could be stomatitis, which brushing wont help. A vet visit would
be a good idea. Stomatitis is more common in FIV+ cats than in FELV+ cats. The

for gum issue questions, they've all gone through it there.
