Thank you so much, I will do whatever I can to ensure he can have good quality of life for as long as possible. We are crossing our fingers that the tumor will be stunted for a while. 🤞 His next recheck MRI is in October. We appreciate all of the good vibes and prayers we can get!

I hope the Gabapentin helps. If it does not, I recommend asking your vet about Pregabalin (brand name is Lyrica) It is similar to Gabapentin but for many FOPS kitties in the FB group, it works better. Sending you guys so much love!!

I completely agree that the group is very sad seeing all of the kitties with such bad FOPS. I'm so glad he has been doing well and fingers crossed he will continue to do well medication free. I have heard good things about CBD, too, for some instances. Our neurologist did not think there was...

Hi there, I'm so sorry to hear that your boy may have FOPS, too. I think the dental appointment is wise, to ensure that there isn't anything else dental in nature causing issues with him eating dry food. My Bentley is doing okay! The FOPS ended up being a blessing in disguise, believe it or...

Hi there! I'm so sorry to hear your girl has the same issue. After further testing, he was diagnosed with FOPS. He also was diagnosed with an incidental brain tumor after we had an MRI done in July of last year to ensure it was nothing in his neck or anything visible in his face/head (the tumor...

Very disappointing, indeed. Forgive me, but how would they determine musculoskeletal pain? He did have head xrays which showed nothing but unsure if that would show what you're referring to. You are correct, no mouth gag as I did ask our vet that. Yup, it started right after the dental. The...

Just an update Mr. Bentley had his dental CT and exam under anesthesia at the vet dentists today. Unfortunately, we didn't get "good news" that anything was found causing this so the vet dentist does suspect FOPS since we ruled everything else out, as nothing was found on the dental CT either...

Thank you, so do we. I sure will. ❤️

He sure does!! And for that, we are thankful. ❤️

Hi all, I just wanted to give an update as we had our dentist specialist visit today. While the dentist vet didn't see anything visible upon examining his mouth, she said there could be some tiny amount of tooth resorption that could have gotten disturbed from the cleaning. This is unlikely...

Thank you, I agree and was so glad to be able to get in yesterday and am happy we don't have to wait terribly long for the dentist's appointment. ❤️❤️

I did mention Pica too (forgot to add to the big update I just posted) but the internal medicine vet didn't really say anything about that...nor anything he passed along from the neurologist. So I'll just have to keep an eye on that and bring it up to my regular vet when he goes for his UTI...

Yes, I did confirm that they didn't use a mouth gag. I did call this morning and got a vet dentist consult scheduled for their next opening, May 31st! I also did call the specialist who would need to do a CT scan so we could get that ball rolling, too, and was told he needed a consult first...

Hi all, We got the results from the x-ray today and they said the report was completely normal. Unfortunately, Bentley is still grinding his teeth (and of course did it a ton after I was messaging the vets office earlier.) This afternoon and evening he has done it mainly after chewing near...

I sure will. ❤️ Today Bentley seems okay for the most part but did grind his teeth once after grooming. I know I need to give the Prednisolone time, though. Thankfully he had not done it during or after eating and no pawing at the mouth so far. Will certainly keep you all posted.
