Hi again everyone. Thanks for the replies as usual and support. Denice, you are right. Looking things up always leads me to fear and doubt. I just want to believe she will move past this and be okay. I am going to call the vet Monday and ask if he could watch that Youtube video. Hopefully he doesn't think I'm nuts. Jcat, you could be right. I can't say for certain that the drops are what caused the facial twitches/head tic but you never know. Maybe she does feel like there is water in her ears and is scrunching her face and jerking her head. She didn't exhibit the signs of it right after administration but who knows? Stephanie, did you see anything weird when your cat was on the tresaderm? I just wonder if maybe it could have been the drops causing the tics because they started after she started her meds. Either that or the prednisone. The doctor did say he hadn't heard of it but every cat is different. Her sister was on prednisone for asthma for 10 days before and had no adverse effects. Two days after she started them as a matter of fact, the tics started for Grace.
The good news today, and I don't want to jinx it, is I don't believe I saw her exhibiting any tics. The vet did say as such that it could be she needs stronger meds and then suggested the recheck in a week's time. He said sometimes these infections can take 10-14 days to go away completely. Grace was great today. I checked her this morning and she was asleep. Then she jumped off her chair she was on and came to give me some morning cuddles. She seemed fine. I did go out for a couple hours and have not been watching her 24/7 (although it feels like it). I check her frequently but she greeted me at the door when I came in. She was excited today watching her birds from the window. I did think I saw head bobbles or possible shaking a couple times in her head but to be honest I could be imagining the tremors. However, while the tics were definitely there before, I might be putting the shakes in my mind since I keep overanalyzing all her cat behavior thinking the worst.
