Feline Stomatitis

[Cleo WA]

My 3 1/2 spayed female cat has been diagnosed with feline stomatitis. One vet said this is a gum/immune disorder and prescribed 5mg of prednisone every other day and 1/2 cc metronidazole syrup twice a day. She also said that we are looking at removing the cat's teeth from the canines back (she has already removed the four back molars, two top, two bottom). Also this tooth extraction may not help at all. I took my cat to another vet for a second opinion. Vet #2 said this is a jaw bone disorder and to continue on the 5 mg of prednisone and also prescribed antibiotics of 0.5 mL antirobe aquadops once a day. He also said that there is no cure and he does not recommend pulling any of the cat's teeth. Continue the 5 mg prednisone eod as long as possible (i.e., until the stomatitis gets really bad, her liver fails, etc. and we have to put her down).
Both vets agree that this is a little known and understood problem.
What are your thoughts on feline stomatitis? I thank you very much.
