Shilo to the vet.

[jenluckenbach]

I took Shilo in to the vet today for drooling/mouth pain. It looks like he has exactly what Amber has.....Stomatitis. Can I go through this again?

His gums are red, but he does not have tarter. This is an "auto-immune" disease where the body attacks its own teeth/gums.

So he got a steroid shot and a prescription for anti-biotics.

The vet is hopeful that after this treatment he should be good for quite a while. But I believe that these cats are always prone to flare ups and he too may someday need the drastic dental Amber just had.

I am having them do blood work just to make sure all is OK. results some time tomorrow.
