My cat, almost a year old, has very sore gums. His teeth are fine, his sore gums were spotted when he went in to be neutered at 6 months. Since then we've been treating them.
He had blood tests for FIV and related diseases which came back negative. He had antibiotics which didn't help. Now he's on Metacam daily for the pain and an anti viral, called Interferon I thinK, for several months. I can't see any improvement though. He is due back at the vets when we've nearly finished the course of anti virals. The next step may be removing all his teeth! Obviously I'm hoping it won't come to this..
Has anyone else's cat had this and did anything help?
