My cat drooled; I noticed red gums, tongue ulcers, a lump-like thing at the back of the mouth; gave amoxicillin and B2 a few days, ulcers/gum redness faded but still eats little, refuses kibble; tonight after meds and a walk it vomited yellow fluid. Still won’t eat much—only cat strips and paste packets.
Per description/image: stomatitis—tongue tip ulcer, red gums/mucosa, drooling, low appetite. Causes bacterial or viral; screen for calicivirus, FIV first, then targeted meds. If ordinary bacterial, daily anti-inflammatory + antibacterial spray, feed soft/wet food to reduce irritation, supplement B vitamins. If no improvement, consider viral—add antivirals/interferon. Recurrent stomatitis often needs full-mouth extraction.
Cat Bad Breath, Mouth Ulcers, and Stomatitis
Stomatitis often links to dry food and low water intake. For mild cases, switch to soft food and more water, clean the mouth daily with pet rinse or spray, and watch for worsening.

Mouth ulcers have different causes needing different treatment. For trauma-based ulcers, metronidazole and an oral antibacterial spray can relieve inflammation. If it doesn't improve or other symptoms appear, see a vet.
