Hi There,

It sounds like Molly has multiple allergy problems going on, the rodent ulcer being one of them. The good news is that she should respond quite well to the long-lasting steroid injection. Unfortunately rodent ulcers will sometimes recur, so additional treatment may be needed once she heals from this one.

I highly recommend a canned food natural diet for Molly. Most dry foods for cats are full of grains that she might be allergic to, and also contain additives such as food dyes. I would go to a large pet store and start reading labels. Fish should be avoided in allergic cats so I would look for something with chicken, lamb, or turkey as the first ingredient. Rice and oats are ok grains for cats, corn and wheat should be avoided. Rabbit and venison are good protein sources but not available in many OTC cat foods. I think that Nature's Recipe still makes a rabbit and rice diet. If you can find that one it might be a good choice.

Take care, and please keep us updated on how Molly does.

Regards,
PHKitkat
