Thank you allmycats, your thoughts and kind words are much appreciated as is everyone's here.

Ellie is doing well, but i still think things are not quite right in that mouth of her's,will wait until the steroids have had a chance to do their thing, if she show's no sign of discomfort and then get her re-checked, if not another jab for her and then we shall have to take it from there, I sure hope all is going to be well with her.

Decided to take Ellie back to the vet last night, she was still acting strange around her food, running away as if in pain when eating, well it turned out there is some good healing going on after all, her gums are a much paler pink and not nearly as inflammed, however Gabe said it was probably the right decision to take her back, as it could well be flaring up again and best to knock it out before that occurs, so he gave her an antibiotic jab and she is on steroid pill for fifteen days, so hopefully this will finally do the trick and Ellie will be all well again, fingers and all paws crossed here.

She is doing a lot better, there does not seem any obvious mouth discomfort anymore, however she really has a weird appetite, sometimes she is hungry as ,other times i have to stand over her and make her eat, she has become very fussy with her food, and she is one that ate almost anything, i thought the steroids would make her ravenous, almost like they have had the opposite effect really,with her and Ash being problem eaters now i am been driven up the wall with fustration lol.

Maybe the antibiotics have affected her appetite too, however she does seem ok in every other way, she weighs 3.95kgs ,the smallest of all my cats,apart from Ash, but then he has a good reason, he weighs more than her , but is a large cat ,Ellie is a small cat, the vet wants her at 4kgs, well not much chance of that happening right now,with her picking eating habits, she actually was eating better when her mouth was sore, very strange really.

Anyhow will finish her course of steroids and see how she is after that,and thank you for asking after my wee girl, very nice of you and much appreciated.
