Just back from the vet with Nathan. We've just finished a course of steroids for his rodent ulcers/eosinophilic granuloma and it's starting to come up again.
The vet, however, had slightly different ideas. We'd had in mind asking for a long supply of steroids to try to keep it at bay. The vet said that wasn't a good idea and he'd only be willing to treat if the granuloma/ulcer comes up badly as it has done previously. That'll be in about three days then.
I think we're going to stop treating him with the steroids, in spite of being given a few, and then go in for a biopsy when the burgeoning ulcer inevitably makes an appearance. This will make sure the condition is actually eosinophilic granuloma. And then, perhaps we'll have to see what happens with the medication at that point.
I'll try to get some photos of it as it progresses, as it will be useful for records. I'll have to figure out how to do a "jump" or "cut" as us LJ types put it. Watch this space. Or not, if you're squeamish.
