Home remedies for Rodent Ulcer (Cure, Medicine etc..)

Hello Cat Site, glad I found a large community for cat lovers ,  I just want to ask for an advice here in the forum, maybe most of you here already experience something similar to your cats , just 2 days ago something appeared on the lower mouth of my cat(just right below her lips), and based on my research around, im pretty much sure its a  Rodent ulcer(but i hope im wrong, ill post an image of what my cat's mouth looks like), they said the name itself is misleading because it doesnt have anything to do with rats, but im a little bit confused because this started when my cat caught a small mice, and I tried to take that away from her mouth using a paper, (i was thinking maybe the mice bit her or maybe scratched her when i was trying to pull it from her), since then she had this sore/blister looking thing, when I try to touch that area, she makes a sound different from her normal ones(a faint meow that sounds like a pain), I hope you can give me some advice here.. thank you in advance.

By the way, if i posted my thread in the wrong forum, please feel free to change it. Thanks and God Bless.

 

Rodent ulcers are actually small malignant tumors and medically, it's referred to as eosinophilic granulomas.

In fact, Tom and Jerry and Itchy and Scratchy not withstanding, when cats and mice (or other rodents) interact, the damage is generally one sided, and it’s not the mouse that comes out on top. Cats know what they’re doing, and they rarely suffer hunting injuries.

Rodent ulcers, therefore, have nothing to do with rodents. Rather, they occur when cats’ immune systems become hyperactive in a special way. Those hyperactive immune systems attack the lips, and cause plaques or ulcers to develop. When evaluated under a microscope, cells called eosinophils are prevalent in the ulcers, which are made of tissue that has responded to inflammation by forming complexes known as granulomas. Hence, the other name for the condition: eosinophilic granuloma complex.

I know many herpes positive kitties develop these ulcers because their immune system is already compromised.  Most of these owners move their kitties to a high quality grain-free diet and give Lysine supplement twice daily.  Also, keeping to a regular routine and keeping your home as stress-free as possible will also help.  You might want to invest in a Feliway diffuser or two and run those in your home to help your kitty de-stress. 

The ulcers can be painful, so you should get your kitty to the vet for a depo shot and then work on building the immune system to prevent them in the future.

People are broke right now and just don’t have a thousand dollars to spend on tests and everything else vets insist on doing. Covid and inflation has put so many in such a bad way they are barely hanging on. So I found an article that said buy a bottle of fish mox, which is amoxicillin, look up dosage for your cat and give for 2 weeks. And it worked! I had read all the natural sites and tried everything I could. Nothing worked. Thank God for that article. I know we all want to do what’s best for our pets and sometimes that’s just treating your pet so it will get better no matter how you have to do it. I had also read that a lot of rescues keep it on hand. I started with a tiny bit to see if he would have a reaction or get sick. And for 3 days I slowly added more until I was at the proper dosage. Actually I do that with all my animals meds even ones prescribed by a vet. I’m paranoid about bad reactions.
