I forgot to mention that one of the other symptoms is that, as the breathing problem worsens( if Dexamethasome isn't given), the left eye(on the same side as the upper fang was removed) starts to get larger little by little,a little more bulgey, then it gets red and bloodshot, especially in the tear duct. All of this goes away if Dexamethasone is given.

If the problem is a sinus infection, would Dexamethasone be able to suppress the symptoms to the extent that it does? Can Dexamethasone suppress the symptoms of an infection? Wouldn't Cephalexine have taken care of the infection(if that's what the problem is) by now? Thanks again for any insight you may have concerning this because it has the vets stumped and me too. I would really like to find the answer and get my cat off Dexamethasone( he's been on it over a month) because of its side effects.
