The sneezing, coughing, goopy eyes is also with this virus, but you will see that initially when they are young/kittens, but that part of it is not as recurring as the ulcers, etc are in the adults.
Now that you mention Gingivostomatits I had a feeling that is what Baby boy had because his mouth was so bad when the vet looked inside his mouth after he was pts. Tiger I had notice over a year ago when she yawned it looks like she has a broken brown bottom tooth that does not look good.
Is there any kind of supplement I can give them to help? I do still think they have the Herpes virus also because we do go through periods where they are sneezing and or coughing with goopy eyes but that was when they were younger.
Would it be better if I start getting them and pts so they don't suffer from this anymore? The vet I take them too charges over $200.00 to have them pts. This is the worst outbreak one of them has had and none of them have looked very healthy for a long time now. It seems like I'm constantly giving antibiotics to them just to get through the worst parts.
Thanks for helping me put a name to what they might all have but now what do I do?
I just don't know what to do anymore but I do not want them to suffer.
Honestly hun, not much good advice I can offer on this, it's pretty grim basically, especially in ferals who are not handleable, and it is very miserable and painful for them.
First thing I'd do is stop the dry food and feed canned, so at least they are able to eat something rather than starving themselves.
Then I would get the worst cat, and have the diagnosis confirmed.
The only real thing you can do is give them anti-inflammatories and immune system support, but again this is an issue since it will be close to impossible to give the right dose to each cat.
A VERY tough call for you, and I am so very sorry you have to go through this.
In the end, the best option, once confirmed might very well be to put them out of their pain and misery. I can't imagine having to do this.
Oh also, $200.00??! That's outrageous!
