Eosinophilic granulomas are often a type of allergic reaction. The main groups of allergies in pets are food, fleas, or environmental. Make sure that Honey is on a good flea preventative, even if she never goes outside. You can try a limited ingredient cat food that does not contain a "typical" source of protein, like chicken, beef, or lamb. You can look for things like duck, buffalo, salmon, kangaroo, etc. Feed only that 1 cat for for 3 weeks and see if the granuloma appears to look better. You can discuss use of anti-histamines or steroids with your veterinarian. You can also try alternative medical therapies like acupuncture to stimulate the immune system.
