  ***** Cat People **** I know we have some great cat people in this group..need some direction or opinions please.. One of my best friends cats has been diagnosed with Feline Stomatitis...her vet said the only real cure at this age (she's 15 yrs) is to have all of her teeth removed...the funny thing is that the cat does not appear to be in any pain is eating like a horse and cleans herself...she initially went in with some abscess that was thought to be cancer---after report no cancer. Shre is currently on steroids... Anyone have a vet that specializes in this cat disease? Thanx!!!!!

  708-345-7640 Dr Shakir in Melrose PK. I would call and ask him his thoughts hes a good vet and very reasonable too. Ive had a friends cat have this and all teeth removed BUT her cat was drooling, not eating due to pain, this teeth removal. After the theeth removed the cat improved. If i were that friend, and see the cat is in no pain, eats and grooms itself, just leave it alone. Why "fix" something thats not broken. Some vets do make mistakes.
