My cat has a painful tooth, but my vet won't remove it. What to do?

Question

Bad tooth vet will not remove. Gave biotics cause constipation led to 2 enema's would not eat in vet care gave stimulant caused tremors gave depressant could not explain symptoms did ultra said must have IBD. Still has bad tooth and they fight me on taking it out. I say solve for the known first and stop over-analyzing. If tooth removal does not solve then dig deeper. Blood work fine. Everything fine just eats sideways and after too painful gives up. Would type entire story limited chars. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 12 years old | 12 lbs

So sorry that your cat is having this problem. You could take him to a veterinary dental specialist and see if the specialist will remove his tooth. Or find another vet in your area and take him for a second opinion. If his blood work is normal and he is in otherwise good health, then the risk of extracting a bad tooth is low. Here is a link to search for a dental specialist in your area. https://www.avdc-dms.org/dms/list/diplomates-map.cfm
