Well, Amber has been on the antibiotics for her sore gums for 5 days. She is getting a "rinse" on the gums twice a day. The vet said that since she has started to eat without pain again that we could hold off on the next step (biopsy) until (if and when) she has another flare up. Amber has had this before and will no doubt have it again, but the best test results come from biopsying the gums at the time of inflamation (flare up, she called it). So we will continue the meds and the rinse and see when (if) the sore gums return.
Thank you for your concern while she got her FeLV retest.
