My 6 year old cat had a dental cleaning with 6 extractions about 6 weeks
ago. Everything seemed to go well except I notice that she seems to shake
her head quite a bit as if there is something in her mouth that is annoying
her. It's not constant but she wasn't doing it before the procedure. It's
really hard to look in her mouth so before I get someone to sit on her so
that I can take a look (won't be popular with her) I thought I'd check to
see if this was common.

I was thinking that there might still be a stitch that hasn't absorbed
properly. She started doing it almost as soon as she got home from the vet.
I just figured the stitches were annoying her but it's been long enough for
the stitches to be gone.

She does not seem to be in any pain at all. She is otherwise acting
perfectly normal.

Any ideas?

thanks

Have her checked for ear mites.
