Seen various treatments. Abs, ovarid, parasite control, different food bowls, food trials. Some are quick fixes, but depends how far you are wanting to look into it I guess.

Aww bless him. Hope he gets better soon

Keep me posted

My cat developed herpesvirus the other day and had mouth ulcers. Felt so sorry for them.

Thanks for that. He's fine, it doesn't seem to be bothering him at all, but i'm aware how blimmin painful mouth ulcers can be!!although everything i've read says they dont hurt the cat....hmmmmm

I've seen bad indolent ulcers in strays where almost all of the top lip is missing which look horrendous . The one on my cat is just a apprx 3mm flat ulcer on his top lip.

I'm going to email the breeder and see if he's had them before, although she didnt mention anything
