Is that cat in your shelter who won’t let you look in her mouth suffering from stomatitis? And if she is, can you deal with it given most shelter’s limited resources?

Stomatitis can cause ulcers and inflammation in the mouth, and can be so painful it often inhibits normal eating or drinking, as well as being difficult and costly to treat.
