Could the teeth be causing her pain and therefore she is pawing at it??? I've never run into these problems and I myself or when I had dogs growing up had so many problems with a dog.
I don't know anything about the dental anatomy of dogs with their sinuses but I would think that would be a great possibility. I know I had dental work done on one of my top, side teeth. I also had a terrible sinus infection at the time. The dentist said their was just a very, very thin layer of tissue that she left in the hole and my sinuses were on the opposite side of that tissue. My tooth hurt like **** for 3-4 weeks and I had to take pain medicine for it. She said it was because the sinuses were inflamed and were pushing down on the paper thin layer of tissue and it was pushing against all the work she had done and there are lots of nerves in there. She said had I not had that bad sinus infection, I would have only had pain for 1-2 days, if that.
I realize I'm comparing a human to a yorkie, but does this sound like something like this could be happening to Stormy?
