Thanks for the update,

! It is awesome that Oscar is doing well and able to get off his meds. I did read somewhere that as cats go through the tooth lesion resorption process, it can stop hurting after the tooth or root (can't quite remember) is fully absorbed. So, it hurts while inflamed in the 2nd and 3rd phases of resorption, but by the time it gets to like 4th or 5th phase, it doesn't hurt much. So maybe that's what is going on with Oscar? Whatever the reason, it's great that your buddy is purring and active. Gabapentin is super bitter and not a whole lot hides the yuck, even in the compounded liquid form. I know, because my cat gets it daily in the compounded liquid form . She foams and drools but then she smells like a marshmallow (that's apparently the best flavor for trying to block the taste ).
I hope you, your wife, and Oscar have some peace and quiet! Sometimes kitties throw crazy and expensive curve balls at us!
