Try PetzLife Brush Away. It works wonders and has really worked for Dixie
Louise and some dogs I know who have had problems. Her regular vets are
totally amazed and is looking into using the product in their practice. Also
add colostrum to the diet and check out the [EMAIL PROTECTED] group.
Good luck.

Subject: Baytril question
I’ve tried going thru the archives and got some info but just wanted to ask
if I’m missing anything—hope you bear with me if all this has already been
posted.
My BigBoy, approx age 8, FELV+, developed the ‘bad breath from hell’. Though
I try hard NOT to take him to vet (he gets sooo stressed out), I know that
stomatitis can be an issue w. FELV+. Vet says it does look like that’s what he
has but in early stages—no ulcers in his mouth. He’s lost one canine tooth
that he sort of just spit out one day looking like it was just a normal every
day thing to spit out a tooth! LOL
Vet put him on Baytril 2x/day and its tough pilling him. BUT I know that
trying to feed him liquid antibiotic would be even harder. I’ve snuck the food
into some soft treats he likes, some wet food ‘meatballs’ and it usually works
though he’s pretty good at eating around the pill! Questions I have:
1) Do you know if Baytril leaves an aftertaste in food? He eats in spurts
and doesn’t seem to want to eat the wet food if it had the pill stuck in
it..(the pill that he swallowed without realizing!—LOL)
2) He’s been throwing up a bit and I’m wondering if Baytril could be giving
him an upset stomach…
Keep in mind that BigBoy is the biggest mush in the world but while he has no
qualms about lying on my chest or my head or any other part of me when he wants
to wake me up, I cannot pick him up or otherwise ‘pin him down’ to stick
anything in his mouth. He’s not a particularly fussy eater and if he had his
way, he’d eat people food only (he’s a stray I took in). He’s the kind of cat
that you never ever leave chicken or steak on the counter cause he’ll be up
there in a flash just chomping away!
