Re: Elderly cats being picky


The vet thinks it's an ulcer or a lesion, and that she probably bit her tongue.
I've got to carry on with the pain killers and monitor her.
He suggested I put bonjela on her tongue

Re: Elderly cats being picky


She definately eats better after she's had some pain killing drops,Elaine.
If the ulcer isn't getting smaller by Friday, I've got to take her back on Sat morning.

Re: Elderly cats being picky


The vet thinks it could be a lesion now.
He's never seen anything like it before.
He said it would be too tramatic to do a biopsy on her tongue, so she's on steroids, and we're keeping an eye on her.
She is eatng better.

Re: Elderly cats being picky


Even if they did a biopsy, and it was something nasty, to operates would mean removing quite a bit of her tongue, so her thinks the present course of treatment is the right on for now.
He thinks the lesion could have been there before this latest incident.
