Feline Mouth Ulcers (rodent Mouth)?

Question

IN reading this article, does anyone know what the dosing of Prednisolone would be??

A wide variation of treatments have been applied in cases of eosinophilic granuloma, reflecting the lack of any one uniformly successful treatment, and the unsatisfactory outcome of treatment in many patients. It would seem that the most successful approach is a four to six week course of the steroid prednisolone. This may resolve the lesion, but, if not, it may be followed by cryosurgery - a double cycle of controlled freezing and thawing. Although this inevitably leads to some scarring, recurrence seems less frequent than with other methods of treatment. In some cases Ovarid has also been used successfully. Whatever treatment is used, recurrence is common and the treatment may have to be repeated.

Answer 1

the dosage would be one that you get from your vet.

one thing that you can do without taking kitty to the vet for rodent ulcers is to give them lysine twice a day. it helps support the immune system. 250mg twice daily, but for dosing prednisolone, you need to talk to your vet.

Answer 2

I've had cats with this,and the dosage was 5 mgs.once a day for a week,then once every other day or less often.My vet also used Clindamycin or Metronidazole,and fish oil is good as well.Of course you have to feed a soft diet as it is painful for the cat to eat hard food.
