Poor Lil' Reese

Awwww :(

Last year Reese developed a case of Eosinophilic Granuloma which is a fairly common skin disease that cats can develop when they are allergic to something in their environment. She was given a steroid shot which completely treated her in a day or so. The vet said that some cats only get it one time and some cats get it again and again. Apparently, Reese is going to be the type that gets it repeatedly. The disease causes a little bump to form under her mouth which swells and can get really painful making the cat not want to eat. The steroid shots help but they also put her at risk of developing diabetes. Not very good.
