Okay, so it probably is an abcessed tooth, but we could not be sure unless we ponied up $200 for my 19 yr old cat to get a blood workup, and then another $350 for the tooth extraction, antibiotics, and so on. BTW he has kidney disease, besides being as old as dirt, so may not survive being put under for the tooth extraction. So we decided to have them lance the infection pocket and get an antibiotic shot, and oral amtibiotics, and just see how that goes. That was only $135
