Tiger – Update – Diagnosed with Stomatitis

6/26/20 – Tiger Update. Tiger was thought to be a feral cat and was being cared for by a very kind woman. One day she noticed that he was constantly drooling and actually his mouth was full of pus. While she was on her way to a veterinary hospital she contacted me and, fortunately, we were able to get Tiger in to one of our favorite hospitals, Orion Animal Hospital. Dr. Zalac diagnosed Tiger as having Stomatitis which results from severe inflammation of the mouth tissues. On that first visit, the priority was to relieve the infection but Dr. Z believed that Tiger would need many teeth to be extracted — maybe all. Yesterday Tiger had his recheck. He continues to be treated for the severe infection but it was confirmed that Tiger does need to have all of his teeth extracted. This will be quite costly but between Tiger’s rescuers and 4 Paws 1 Heart, we want to give Tiger a second chance at life without pain. It turns out that Tiger is not ‘feral’ but, once again, a cat who was probably lost or abandoned. He loves to be petted and has endeared himself to his rescuers. So, Tiger has found his forever home and we will do everything we can to help him. If you can help, donations can be made through paypal at: 4paws1heart.org/donations/ or through the mail at P.O. Box 84, St. Clair Shores, MI 48080.
