Hi everyone
My 2.5 year old male Bengal has been having a problem for awhile now (2 months). Sometimes, the muscle around his mouth twitches and he brings his paw to the mouth. Also, there is some licking and headshaking going on. Less frequently, he will rub his eyes and they seem to be kinda shut but not much. He has exhibited similar symptoms 2 years ago (but he also had drooling and fatigue) and it turns out he had a tooth infection. He had a root canal done. Then all the symtoms went away until 2 to 3 months ago. We took him to his dentist vet this week and he had mild gengivitis. Full X-ray of the mouth was done. Nothing was found. He still exhibits the symptoms. I do not know if he is in pain or if he is having some itching. Very difficult to know. He still eats, drinks, plays, urinates/defecates normally. Any idea???
Thank you!
