You might even ask your vet for a referral to an internist vet. If he stopped the pawing while on antibiotics only, I wouldn't think it's stress related. It sounds like an infection in there somewhere, maybe another tooth? It must really hurt. Have they taken an x-ray of his head? Any blood tests to check for white blood cells? Hope they can find it quickly. Rhonda Riki-Lee wrote: Thanks for the website. The information seemed to be very helpful. I will take him to a different vet for a second opinion with the information that was provided. I am not sure if there are any other signs of stress. Although every night maybe 3 or 4 times for about the last year, Spotty insists on trying to wake me up by pawing at my face, not in a harsh way though just enough to try to wake me up. I will give him attention and he will start purring, but if I dose off again he will try to wake me up. He never use to do this before, do you think that this could be stress related? Things in our household dont seem to be different. Thank you to everyone who has replied to this so far. =)- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I agree with this action entirely. Please don't feel that you are being rude to your vet by asking him if he thinks a second opinion might be the next best step. He is there to One doesn't need to ask permission from the first vet to seek a second opinion from another vet. address any problems that your cat has, & if he has no answers, I am sure that he will be only too pleased to do exactly that. I am certain that he will want what is best for your cat too. I wish you good luck, & ask if you wouldn't mind letting us know how things are progressing for him in the future. Best Wishes, S;o) |
