it's the same thing, I have never heard of it called that, with the "lingual" before either, I guess each vet calls it different I don't know. anyway you are right, it is an allergy related illness,I brought him to a new vet, got him a new food and have an appt. with a vet that does lasor tomorrow, I didn't like the other one because after bringing 7 cats there for several years, she wouldn't take one quick look at the cat when I brought him in for a shot only. I didn't want her to take a long time, it was just a quick look, and I even said if she's busy now she can call me later, but no, she would not do it so we got mad and said give us our cat, say goodbye Leo because you or the other 6 will not be back here.I'm so sorry to hear about your cat. I've never heard of feline lingual eosinophilic granuloma but I have heard of eosinophilic granuloma. This is what my Pearl has. Since she's been eating a grain free diet,Innova Evo, she hasn't had any more breakouts.
When she did have a break out, she was put on prednisolone for about 2 weeks and this cleared it up. I guess that her's is food allergy related so I'm glad that her diet is helping her stay healthy.
yes he was also on prednosone but he wouldn't take it, even in his food. the speciality vet also wants to do x-rays which I will have done, but as for interferon, to boost his immune system, I am going to try L-Lysine first. then if it does not work I will try the interferon. I feel better about my cat's care now, I was just overwhemed the other day, the last 6 months have been "hectic" to say the least!
K.A.K.-- I would like to hear more about your Pearl's illness and how she is doing now?
