My cat Stoc, who turned up in my garden about 8 years ago (and was neutered a year later), is FIV positive. After about two years of struggling with faucitis and stomatitis, and trying various treatments including steroids (both injections and oral drops) with no improvement, I had all his teeth extracted as is usually recommended in these cases. After a brilliant recovery, his mouth problems flared up again about two months later. The vet found some papules on his tongue which are causing him pain while eating, to the point that he's completely refusing food. The vet has already tried a course of cyclosporine and anti-inflammatories... but a week later we're back to square one; he's in pain and spits out his food. How can I help him? I've even tried an Aloe oral paste but it doesn't do much.
