Dexter - needs some attention!

[kimlovescats]

My sweet (nawtee) big guy needs a thread of his own! He has been battling terrible mouth sores for several months already! He has large granulomas and very red, sore gums. We tried two different antibiotics, and now he is getting steroid (Depo) shots every two weeks. He has lost a bit of weight from not wanting to eat as much too. My vet said that he will need several more Depo shots, maybe for another couple of months at 2 week intervals. If this turns out to be stomatitis, instead of the granuloma thing, then he may have to have all of his teeth pulled. However, she said she hates to do that because his teeth look so good!

Please give my big boy some words of encouragement, and gentle kisses for his sore, sore mouth!

Prayers are coming for Big Dexter that he does not have to have his teeth pulled.
John Hancock went through that, and I amost lost him.
And it was 1200 Dollars, 5 Years Ago.
WE are praying for Dear Dexter.

Awwwww Dexter, you look so sad. I don't know what to say that will make you feel better except that even feeling bad, you are still a beautiful boy! Don't give up, Mommie and the white coats are trying their best to get you well.

Think positive Dexter, you're going to start getting well right now!

Poor guy, that sounds so painful! I agree with the vet that it would be a shame to pull healthy teeth! Sending vibes out his way.

Give him a gentle hug from me.

Kisses to Dexter, but on the top of his head, so I don't make his sore mouth any more sore!
