Depomedrol

My feral cat Corki has a mouth inflammation condition that really bothers her when she eats. While she has tamed down a lot over the years, I am not able to pill her on a long term basis. My vet tried a depo shot and it has been working very well for her over the past couple years. She has to get one every 4m or so but as long as it works, it makes her life much better.
I have also used this on a foster cat I recently have that has eosinophilic granuloma disease(rodent ulcer) and it is helping him heal up so far. Hopefully he won't have to keep having them given once he heals up but I know it works for now on him if he does.

Pros: helps inflammation, irritation

Cons: injection done by vet

If a condition warrants sometimes there is no other alternatve but to use a steroidal drug so you can get your pet past the acute condition. Limit the use severely and keep your Vet apprised of any and all chages.

Pros: Helps when all else has failed

Cons: Steroidal side effects
