This problem has been ongoing since the beginning of June and its been such a lengthy process as he has to be on different treatments for x amount of time. He gets ulcers all down his tongue, throat, upper mouth, inner lip and gums. And after 48 hours of being off his steroids he is unable to...

Hello everyone, Firstly, sorry this is so long! My girl kitten is almost nine months old and has had gingivitis since she was five months. I'd hoped it was just juvenile gingivitis due to teething, but that was wishful thinking. She still has it and I'm really worried about what this means for...
