Re: [Felvtalk] Stomatitis and FeLV cats

[Sandy]

I have a cat - not FeLV - but never-the-less - who had all but the front teeth 
removed due to Stomatitis - after healing he does eat Royal Canin Mother/Baby 
cat kibble and wet food

Hi Maribel

Probably removing the teeth is the way to go. I don?t think it would hurt to 
have the Depo shot. Obviously, there is an infection and anything which might 
help to clear up the infection or reduce the swelling from the infection, would 
be beneficial.

One other thing to suggest is use of Prednisolone 5 mg a day, which will also 
help reduce swelling and therefore pain.

Regarding the baby food, on the contrary, it is an ideal food for cats. It has 
a lot of vitamins, fat, protein, etc. I have saved more than my fair share of 
cats by feeding them strictly baby food by syringe until they were healthy 
enough to eat on their own. If he takes the baby food on his own, great. If 
not, see how many syringe-fulls you can get in. Also consider using the ?juice? 
from a can of tuna, and/or puree the tuna with some water and syringe that

Hi Maribel

from a can of tuna, and/or puree the tuna with some water and syringe that up, 
if he will not eat it on his own.

With cats, I have always found that the trick is to get enough food into them 
to allow their bodies to start to heal. If they won’t eat sufficient food on 
their own, I will syringe-feed them with some intensity, since there is a 
saw-off point when they begin to feel better and their appetite increases, thus 
requiring less of the syringe-feeding.

Hi all,

I have a very sweet indoor-only gray tabby named Spencer who at only 2 yrs of 
age sadly tested positive for FeLV.   Spencer has developed stomatitis which 
makes it very hard for him to eat.  He had always enjoyed his food but in the 
last few months it's gotten to the point where he only gets in one or two licks 
before he yelps and runs away in pain.  He's lost weight as a result.  I know 
that for stomatitis, the long-term solution is usually a full-mouth extraction 
of all teeth.   In May I will be getting a bonus at work and plan on taking him 
to a dentist I've used many times before to get him evaluated for the procedure 
and probably have it done.   In the meantime, I've been giving him a powder 
called Plaque Off which is supposed to help with stomatitis.  I can get Spencer 
to eat the baby food that comes in these tiny jars and is just 
chicken/turkey/ham and cornstarch so I mix the powder with that.  So far, it 
hasn't been doing much.   In the past, when I've had otherwise healthy cats 
with stomatitis, I've gotten them shots of Depo Medrol every other month or a 
couple of times a year and this has cleared the swelling.  Depo is a steroid 
which reduces inflammation but also, suppresses the immune system.

For those of you who may be familiar with stomatitis and Depo in FeLV...

do you think the full-mouth extraction is the way to go?

Do you think it would be ok to get Spencer at least one shot of the Depo to 
alleviate the stomatitis until I can get him the full-mouth extraction in May?

Spencer likes those jars of baby food but I'm sure they don't have all the 
nutrition a cat needs.  Any supplements you can recommend that I could add to 
those - giving him something by mouth is impossible.

Would appreciate any thoughts/advice you can share.
