You can also come to my vet clinic Jarrettsville vet for a second opinion and price estimate. I’m sorry I cannot provide this over the phone or online without seeing her in person.

I think you are referring to stomatitis? I have seen it most often in young cats.. even whole litters.. in most cases the only way to resolve it completely is to remove all of the teeth. I know it sounds terrible but these cats are so much happier afterward.. I have done many of them. I have also tried every other conceivable treatment option. At this point I tell my clients to save their money on all of the other stuff,, like steroids, anitbiotics, and just pull the teeth. Often we do it in stages. All of the molars first. As these are what are most commonly affected. Canine teeth last.

In some cases it is a tail fold pyoderma or anal sacs or allergies. Your vet can help identify which.

Hello,
I think they are safe, but please don’t use them as a pacifier in place of lots of exercise and puppy training. A little bit is ok… too much can cause obsessive chewing.

Spay her asap. It will very likely come back. Glad to hear that she is better.

Hello.
My preference is a very high quality breed and age specific dog food. Have you asked your vet their opinion? Or recommendation?

I agree with Julie!! In areas where there is poor pigmentation and sun damage I worry about skin cancer like squamous cell carcinoma.
