Luna keeps developing indolent ulcers on her mouth. She has her 3rd one right now since March. The previous two times I took her to the vet and they gave her a steroid and it cleared up. I have tried changing her food but she is not too happy with that and keeps turning her nose up at everything. Now I have tried so many foods I don't know what she's allergic too. Or, the vet said it may not be an allergy at all, she may have a mild outbreak of the herpes virus.
My 1st question is, will the ulcer go away by itself or is another vet trip and another steroid shot necessary?
Also I am interested in others' experience and advice to rule out the source of her food allergy without her going on food-strike or how to determine if she does have the herpes virus.
Thanks in advance!
