I adopted a three year old cat just over a week ago and over the past few days I've noticed she seems to have some tenderness at one side of her mouth. She can manage wet food ok but is in obvious discomfort/pain when trying dry food.
I'm taking her to the vet tomorrow but have a horrible sinking feeling as my poor departed boy who had FIV displayed the exact same behaviour at first prior to his diagnosis. So as not to drip feed, the cat used to belong to a good friend who had to leave the country (ie not from a rescue centre or a random feral) but I live in a country over run with cats and FIV is rife.
I'm dreading the visit to the vet tomorrow, really expecting the worst

Anyone had a cat with gingivitis but not FIV?
