Rodent's Ulcer ? Cure?
Question:
My cat keeps on getting what I can only describe as a marble sized growth on her tongue. According to the vet it’s a rodent’s ulcer. She treats it with a cortizone shot, which reduces it to being very small, but only to return after a few weeks. The vet has also removed it surgically once before, and it just came back. It’s also accompanied by tender spots on her upper lips (the cat’s not the vet’s). Any advice ? * Sent from AltaVista http://www.altavista.com Where you can also find related Web Pages, Images, Audios, Videos, News, and Shopping. Smart is Beautiful
Response:
They’re part of the eosinophilic granuloma complex, may have both hypersensitivity and genetic causes. Have any flea or insect problems? Could be flea or insect allergy, food hypersensitivity, atopy, chemicals. Do a thorough search of your home for any type of chemical, regardless of how innocent it may appear, including toilet bowel deodorizer-disinfectant, carpet cleaner, etc. You may need further testing to rule out pemphigus foliaceus and deep fungal infection. Not much you can do about genetic causes other than treat the symptoms. If your vet can’t find answer, consult a veterinary dermatologist at a veterinary university hospital. http://maxshouse.com/Diseases_of_the_Skin/pemphigus_foliaceus.htm http://maxshouse.com/Diseases_of_the_Skin/pemphigus_foliaceus.htm#Pem… Vulgaris http://maxshouse.com/Diseases_of_the_Skin/pemphigus_foliaceus.htm#Sys… Lupus Erythematosus http://maxshouse.com/Diseases_of_the_Skin/pemphigus_foliaceus.htm#Dis… Lupus Erythematosus Best of luck.

Hi there, My Cat Donavin used to get rodent ulcer’s his are caused by allergies (in his case to fish and fish by-products) It’s my understanding this is a food allergy related problem and you should be working on both a diet that he’s not reacting to as well as mediaction. Doni no longer needs medication (for many years now) but is on a special diet, which is about the same as any regular cat food. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > My cat keeps on getting what I can only describe as a > marble sized growth on her tongue.
