Ellie's mouth was still badly inflammed ,which is what i thought, so she the steriod injection,which she did not like one bit, Gabe said it can hurt a bit, poor wee girl, she was very quiet that night and slept well, i gave her some food before bed and she gobbled up two platefuls.

Today she has eaten well, but i can tell things are not great still, i guess it takes time,if this does not work she will need another one in a months time and then maybe steriod pills, i remember Danielle ,who did the dental telling me even when the teeth are removed sometimes this happens, some cats still get bad mouths, looks like Ellie is the unlucky one i guess.

Ash ate well yesterday, but is not eating today, i asked Gabe about him and whether i can bump his steriods up to one daily,on bad days, he said sure,so will be doing that, he may eat this afternoon though as often he does this, and makes up for it later, fingers and paws crossed.

I read that article you posted and it is a possibility isn't it? she was neglected for over six years and had no care what so ever until i rescued her,however her teeth were not in bad condition just needed a scale and polish and two removed because of the pockets of bacteria accumulating there, your guess is as good as mine,but reading that makes me wonder if that is exactly what we are dealing with ,especially as she just had the flu too despite being vaccinated.

Let us just hope recovery is on the way.
