Default Ulcerated Tongue

Thank you all for responding. Moo had to be put to sleep last week.
She began vomiting the food from the tube which caused her tongue to
bleed severely and was urinating blood as well. She was truly loved and
queen of the house. My poor son in law still thinks he killed her by not
doing enough.
Sorry about the delay in saying thank you but we were up north dealing
with my mother in law who is now in hospice. We can truly be kinder to
our furred friends than we can to our fellow humans.

Default Ulcerated Tongue

...
My son in law has an 18 yr old long haired female cat (Moo) who has an
ulcerated tongue and had to have a feeding tube inserted today. She's
been unable to eat for days. She is also diabetic. Anyone with
experience in this area?
All advice gratefully accepted!



For starters he needs to get her off dry kibble loaded with cheap filler
carbohydrates. Or cheap canned food full of these useless fillers.

Here's some good links to start you off:

Default Ulcerated Tongue

The vet did a biopsy of her tongue and it was cancer.
She'd been on special food for her diabetes for several years now so
stuff your dry kibble

You did the right thing....When our, "Missy" stopped eating a few years ago,
we called the vet immediately. She operates a roving vet service, mostly for
cats, and she came by the house in a few hours, and told us that Missy had
jaw cancer, and had to be put down. We had no way of knowing this in
advance, because she didn't exhibit any pain, and it was only when she
stopped eating that we realized something was wrong with her. She must have
been suffering badly for the last few weeks, but with cats, there is no way
to tell because they suffer in silence. To do otherwise in the wild would be
to tip off predators to your vulnerable condition.
