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.
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.

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!!! ) 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.
