I was wondering if anyone else has treated their cat with anything for this?
Our 11 yr spayed female Boo, has developed one on her upper lip.
I plan on making a vet appointment for her this week ( will call on Monday). But was wondering if anyone has ever tried anything Herbal as a treatment instead of going the steroid route.

I'm not aware of any herbal remedy, but have found that Omega fatty acids in salmon oil (one 500 mg. capsule squeezed over food every day for up to 6 weeks) help cut down on the number of steroid shots.

Villy gets these when she either is or was stressed, so I've found that a feliway plug in helps. She always has to see the vet when she gets a roden ulcer though.

My Chandler gets these every once in a while. The worst one we treated with steroids. The steroids wreaked havoc on his blood sugar, though, leading my vet to believe he may be pre-disposed to diabetes. Not wanting to rock the boat with the second one, we treated with the fatty acid capsules and had pretty good success with those.
