I was wondering if anyone might have any ideas on other products or treatments we can try for this. My cat Spot has eosinophilic granuloma complex, and he has lesions on his stomach that just will not heal.
He actually had a huge one on his stomach before and my vet was worried it could be cancerous so we had the whole thing removed which was a huge ordeal (he ended up having an allergic reaction to the sutures and it was a mess). They biopsied it and that's how he got the diagnosis of eosinophilic granulomas. Unfortunately after the surgical incision healed up and I took off the coverings/cones he developed 4 smaller lesions again in the same area. He's been on steroids, antibiotics, Atopica; laser therapy and we've tried topical antibiotic powder/sprays and other topicals. Nothing has worked. He had steroid and antibiotic shots two weeks ago and now he is back on the Atopica and my vet just put him on dexamethasone today. I hate to keep giving him steroids which don't even seem to do any good anyway but I don't know what to do!
