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.Please let us know the results. No one can say that you are not trying everything to get to the bottom of this.
Go with the dentist first. Try to have him examined without anesthesia. It sounds like a tmj kind of thing. Probably soft tissue so it won't show up in radiographs. It could also be a bad tooth root.
Did they ever say if they use a gag during the dental? I find it hard to believe that this just popped up after the dental without it being related to the dental.
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 recheck next Saturday!I agree that consulting the dentist first is a good idea. Call right now, as those appointments can be hard to come by. I ask for referrals all the time for my animals and have never had anyone become offended. Vets are GPs, for the most part, and don't see a request for a referral as a lack of confidence in them.
One of my cats had a decent case of FHS, diagnosed by the vet. She never did anything in particular with her mouth during the episodes though.
Pica could be a possibility. I hope that you are not suddenly looking at some combination of conditions.
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.Great that you have been able to get those appointments scheduled as quickly as you did! You have all bases covered and will hopefully get to the root of this. I think that everything that was mentioned is probably on the table as a possibility which at least means that you might be narrowing down the field.
He sure does!! And for that, we are thankful.Sweet baby boy, you have an entire team trying to get to the bottom of things for you
Thank you, so do we. I sure will.I certainly hope that you get some answers so that you can move on from this. Keep us posted.
