Micah is a beautiful boy and I will cross all my fingers and toes and all my fur gang's paws and we will pray that the tests results come out ok and he will get better real soon.
I know exactly what it is to have a soul cat and also lose him. Shoo was everything to me and there never will be another one like him.

Oh no I didn't even know about this. Poor guy... Micah will be in my thoughts and prayers... :(
Get well soon, Micah! Feel better and get back to normal for your Meowmie, OK?
Poor Micah..My BooBoo had Stomatitis and we had just about ALL his teeth out recently.Maybe 3 months ago and he's like a new cat now.He's 16 and I really thought we were going to be putting him down.He's had 3 or 4 other surgerys done on his teeth in the past few years but they obviosly needed to take more than they thought out.He never seemed to much better after each surgery until this last one.I told my vet to take ALL if necessary out.And he left a couple in but there is no signs of Stomatitis left this time.And No bad breath for the first time since he was young.I just wish they took more out on the other teeth surgerys.So if getting teeth removed,I would tell him to take any teeth out that look iffy.Just in case.It will save you money later.Good Luck and Prayers on the way for poor Micah.
Thank you for your prayers and well wishes. :)
When I drop him off, he's going to get the whole package...sealing with protective "stuff" (I forget what they call it, but it prevents the teeth from having any further damage), sealing with antibiotics, lots of pain medicine, etc. They will also have instructions to pull any/all what is needed for his comfort and health.
Luckily, my vet knows how important this boy is to me. :)
Have you had Micah checked for bartonella? This will often cause sore red gums as well. And no doubt cheaper than having all his teeth pulled. He's so beautiful. :)
Kelly,
I'm so sorry to hear about Micah. I'll be praying that Micah's treatment goes well and he recovers.
((((hugs))))

I hope Micah is back up on his feet soon. {{{many hugs to you and Micah}}} and gentle licks from my furbabies.

Oh Kelly, I surely hope that Micah starts to feel better soon! After seeing all his pictures, he's such a cute guy that it must suck for him to not be feeling well! I'll keep my prayers for Micah!
Micah was checked for everything under the sun when we got him and then again by Dr H. last August. He was constantly ill and thus, went to about four different vets prior to that. Thankfully, he's healthy except for his IBD and stomatitis. His IBD has been in remission for a long time, until now.Quote:

When she runs his bloodwork, she's going to run titers for his vaccines. When we adopted him, he had FOUR vaccines when he was dumped at the shelter (by his breeder!!! :mad: ) while he had chronic diarrhea and dramatic weight loss! They made him 100 times worse. :( As a result, I don't feel comfortable giving him vaccines if he reacts, or they caused, his IBD.
4 of my cats had Bartonnella.The girls Lucy and Penny were missing teeth at such a young age and we found out it was Bartonnella.They are doing great now.Tucker had it.Being a kitten with bloody gums.And now his gums look beautiful.Like new.Rosco had it too.If I had him when he was younger he probably wouldn't have broncitis right now and need prednisone every couple days for life.Bartonella can cause so many problems.BooBoo didn't have it to my surprise with his stomatitis.But it is good to get a blood check for that.We had all my cats tested for it.I think BooBoo didn't have it because I've had him since 6 weeks old and no fleas were near him.Quote:

Prayers rising for that sweet Micah boy.
They really do fine with a couple, or no teeth at all.
Praying it doesn't come to that, but anything to keep him in you arms, will work.
Prayers and positive thoughts on the way for you and your precious Micah.
Kelly, I'm so sorry to hear that Micah is doing poorly again.:( I sure hope that he won't have to have all of teeth extracted. Prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way.
I hope that sweet Micah feels better soon.
Give some hugs to that Aby boy for me.
