I have an 8+ year old MF male. He's in mediocre health. He's been
grinding his teeth off an on probably for a year now. Has been treated
for ulcers on numerous occasions. Relief would be only for a few days.
On the long term I put him on Pepcid AC that brought limited relief.
He's had ex-rays, blood tests, and recently exploratory surgery (nothing
abnormal found). Also had his teeth cleaned because they were clearly
bothering him.
For a week on Pepto and Amoxi he did very well, no diarrhea or tooth
grinding. Now the tooth grinding is back.
I've tried:
Pepto Bismol
Kayopectate
Amoxi
Carafate
Pepcid AC
Bland diet
Ferret "Probiotics"
He's had x-rays
exploratory surgery
On his second dose of Lupron (3 month doses)
Any suggestions, his appetite is down when he is griding his teeth.
Anyone have any other suggestions?
