After having watched the recoveries of six male cats here and, if I were to see what you're seeing, I would take him back to the Vet for a follow-up exam. With my six, I've seen nothing like that, so, I would want to ensure that there's nothing going on 'under the surface' - I would expect that follow-up check to be complimentary as well.
