As I said Marylyn, her condition is much improved, her upper gums are
still red, but not as inflamed and
utterly raw as they had been. Her lower gums now look completely
normal. Her breath is now odorless.
When we first got her it was really awful.
She's been on FortiFlora which my vet was convinced would help. (I
guess it is the digestive tract that
really impacts the mouth)
Maitake-DMG liquid (vet's recommendation)
Transfer Factor (this group's recommendation)
l-lycine (this group's recommendation)
spring water
raw diet (she will not eat anything except Fancy Feast grilled turkey)
I've been mixing bits of raw
into the wet food ...also I have been mixing Archetype into Fancy Feast
dry and she has eaten it.
she was on Panacur for the giardia.
My vet ordered IR, but is holding off because she has made good
progress without it.
Her glands had been very swollen. One gland in particular seemed to be
the size of a ping pong
ball and when Caroline posted about Monkee's tumor, I thought for sure
that was it. I made an
appointment with my vet (who is on vacation) and just two days ago, it
disappeared. All her
glands are completely normal. The ping pong ball is gone. My husband
has checked her over very
thoroughly and he cannot find it either.
So ...I do not know what did what...but she is so much better.
I have been reading the Archives here and I realize that a young cat (a
year old) who is as symptomatic
as MeMe has been does not have great odds. I am relieved that she seems
so content and comfortable.
I am hoping that since her life is so improved, she'll want to stick
around.
Marylyn thanks for the: Brush Away from Petzlife as well as Just Born
with colostrum. I will try both of them.

What is going on here? I didn't even know there were
2 lists. So many hot headed folks lately.
I know I am fairly new, but You all helped me an awful
lot with KI. Just the support alone meant so much.
Gloria, I am pretty good with the mouth thing...have a
diabetic, too, unless you are already involved with a
list for that.
