I've never heard of a rodent ulcer. Is this a bite from a mouse or rat? If it's a serious sore, then you might want to consider an animal dermatologist who your regular vet can reccommend. If she's stressed then chances are these things will pop up on other parts of her body. My Golden gets them on the side of her face and on her paw and she won't leave them alone when she's stressed. If your baby is truly stressed and needs help, I had a friend once whose cat was on Prozac (prescribed by a vet, of course) and it helped calm her down. See if your vet can reccommend a specialist for you.

Please see my answer about this at www.catster.com
Someone else had asked why their cat had a swollen upper lip & I thought it might be a rodent ulcer. It's also called indolent ulcer & is part of a group of skin diseases called Eosinophilic Granuloma complex. In that answer, I've given links to 2 excellent articles on this that you can read. Please do! They are particularly hard to treat & many vets (& owners!!) feel frustrated dealing with them.

Since your answer was cut short without you adding any extra, I'm not sure what you're asking. You can ask again & add more. I hope the info from those sites helps you with your question, whatever it was.
