It was on Monday and I’m just now posting about it.
The vet was pleased with how well she’s doing. He had me look in her mouth, while he held it open. She did lose a lot of teeth! And where the teeth used to be, it was bright red. He said this was good, the redness was localized, not streaming down into her throat like when she was first taken in. He feels that she’ll do well with a course of prednisone and he believes that will resolve the problem once and for all. In some cats, it never goes away, but he thinks Lisa can beat this.
She’d gained 14 ounces since the surgery, that’s almost a pound in ten days! She’s sure feeling better.
I take her back in on the 17th for another recheck, to see if the prednisone is holding off the immune system (which is what stomatitis is, an immune system gone out of control).
