How long must a cat fast after tooth extraction for stomatitis?
After extraction for stomatitis, feed the cat once the inflammation subsides. Extraction does not usually affect eating, but before healing the cat is in pain, so the owner should reduce inflammation daily; after healing it can eat. Some cats eat normally after, avoiding the sore spot and eating slowly. If the vet did not order fasting, feed normally, preferably softened kibble at first.

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.
