No ointments at all, I've been on pain meds and getting cortisol shots in my back. I had back surgery in February that turned out to not be successful, so we're trying other treatments right now to just control the pain.

Shadow was just at the vets a week ago getting dental work done. They ran a check up on him, his yearly, and he's healthy as a horse. He's never been sick a day, so I doubt it's that.

The move was 2 months ago. Shadow has been actually MUCH more relaxed since we moved here, and is enjoying this home better. We've even added a litter box, so that there is less ... sharing going on.

This came from nowhere. One minute we were cuddling, then I was in the kitchen making dinner and Shadow was trying to attack Stormy. I actually brought him out on his harness because I was afraid he'd hurt the babies. When he gets like this, the only person who is safe to go near him is me, even my husband can't. Shadow has attempted to claw my dh tonight after all this.

I've used some rescue remedy and if that doesn't help, I'll do a couple drops of vanilla on each of them to make them both smell the same. That's worked in the past, maybe it will again.
