Update Post Update on the Senior Kitty

Post image

He tested positive for FIV and has severe stomatitis. He’s receiving steroids and antibiotics and if that doesn’t work , they mentioned a full mouth extraction. He is definitely a senior cat but I’m unsure of how old exactly. He is neutered, no chip. his bloodwork was all okay except he was a little anemic. The steroids over the past few days have helped his mouth thankfully. He eats really good(only wet food) He is still a little rough looking. maybe the combination of FIV & his age.

His name is Rougarou

What a beautiful baby boy. Dental extractions sometimes resolves stomatitis but not always. I’ve had some of my kitties bad teeth extracted yet had to continue treating the stomatitis symptoms. I wish you and your baby the very best. I hope he enjoys all the pampering 💙🐾🙏🏼

2

u/Whiskersandmittens_ APPROVED RESCUER Nov 15 '24

thats what im afraid of. its almost a 50/50 on whether it will resolve it huh? especially with him being fiv+ maybe? so far with antibiotics and steroids, his mouth seems to be improving they said.

1

u/Longjumping_Grand_22 Nov 15 '24

It’s hard to say, I’ve had cats that responded differently, where dental extraction resolved it, others it helped but they still had stomatitis symptoms that we treated as a chronic condition, etc. I have a kitty with FIV but because of that he can’t take DepoMedrol shots. So I’ll have to see what more can be done for him. He loves his dry food but I also give him wet food which is easier on his mouth. I wish you the best for your new baby ❤️‍🩹🙏🏼
