    Chronic rhinitis with facial asymmetry/Nasal mass

    ...with the internal medicine doctor. Nothing has been seen on X-ray so I am waiting for the CT scan. Has anyone had a kitty with chronic rhinitis with facial asymmetry? The differential diagnosis is a nasal mass, although I am praying it is not cancer, I am aware at her age a mass is a...

    Chronic Nasal Congestion. Need advice please

    Sorry for all the questions. This has been going on for 8 weeks with no improvement from antibiotics. The only thing that gives her any relief is steroids. Is this typical with chronic rhinitis?

    Can chronic rhinitis be unilateral? Or is this typically bilateral nasal discharge?

    My cat is scratching and howling after Revolution Plus dose

    I wouldn't use the Diatomaceous earth. I had a cat that developed chronic rhinitis after I used it. If you look at it carefully under a microscope you see that it is tiny little crystals with sharp points. If a cat inhales them, it is bad. I know allot of people use it without incident, but I...

    Chronic rhinitis with facial asymmetry/Nasal mass

    My vet believes Almond has a nasal mass. I have been hoping and praying this could be chronic rhinitis or feline herpes virus and that her symptoms could be managed, but her vet is insistent she has a nasal mass. If anyone has any experience with a cat with a nasal mass I would appreciate your...

    Internal medicine in Chicago

    Hi all, my almost 2 yr old kitty has had chronic rhinitis and mycoplasma infection since birth, went through several antibiotics and antiviral treatment/nasal drop/etc but the symptoms always went back after few weeks. Her vet now recommended us to see an internist at MedVet Chicago to have a...

    Chronic Nasal Congestion. Need advice please

    Hi. Skull films on a cat are usually not helpful in seeing a mass. That is why a CT scan is the gold standard. That being said, I didn’t do a CT scan on my own cat who had chronic rhinitis. I didn’t want to put him through it. Yes, steroids can be given long term.

    Chronic Nasal Congestion. Need advice please

    ...She agreed the Kenalog has worn off and Almond is getting another Kenalog injection this evening. I wish she would be a bit more open to the possibility of chronic rhinitis. Hopefully the feline vet will be able to get her in quickly for an appointment. Thank you again for all your kind...

    Chronic Nasal Congestion. Need advice please

    ...and treatments. If you think you are in over your head, nobody could fault you for whatever decision you make. I have had a cat with chronic rhinitis and the only thing that helped him was steroids. That was a long time ago. More recently a cat with chronic rhinitis was anesthetized and...

    Chronic rhinitis with facial asymmetry/Nasal mass

    I am just ending a 7 month long chronic rhinitis saga with my 12 year old male cat. Was the vet not able to check for masses / x ray etc while she was getting the flush? Mine had biopsies, xrays, blood tests, antibiotics, steroids, etc nothing really helped or cleared it. In the end he has...

    Chronic rhinitis with facial asymmetry/Nasal mass

    ...more recently she has been eating Fresh Pet chicken. Her vet is saying she has cancer, despite normal X-rays. I asked if it could be chronic rhinitis and the vet said no. I asked if it could be a polyp, again told no. My cat, like yours, has long ropey snot. Did his symptoms seem to appear...

    Chronic Nasal Congestion. Need advice please

    Thank you for your response. While doing the nasal flush she told me there was copious amounts of ropey snot but there was resistance in the left nostril. They did X-rays while she was under anesthesia and nothing was seen. Almond’s congestion returned quickly after the nasal flush. The PCR from...

    Almond I miss her so much.

    ...despite the negative X-rays her vet was highly suspicious of a nasal mass. I searched online for months, hoping and praying it was Chronic Rhinitis. The steroids were no longer helping her so I made an appointment with an integrative vet who examined her and she was given acupuncture. Almond...

    Chronic rhinitis with facial asymmetry/Nasal mass

    ...and suspected teeth. A few months later the same vet did not think so anymore. That vet also said basically some cats have chronic rhinitis for life, nothing can really do but antibiotics sometimes. So I tried a new vet. I did notice one nostril would consistently get more crusted / have more...

    please help - cat breathing issues and no vets can find out why

    ...but it's so hard to know for sure! 1. He had rhinitis as a kitten (more presented as a runny nose and sneezing) but the vet did say chronic rhinitis sometimes never fully goes away. Could this be a new 'variant' of the rhinitis appearing 2 years later? 2. His RBC has been consistently low...

    Chronic rhinitis with facial asymmetry/Nasal mass

    If she had herpes as a kitten I believe she would still have herpes now. That is a big difference between our cats - mine has consistently tested negative for herpes and never had any symptoms like this his entire life (adopted as a kitten). I think cats with herpes can end up with flare ups...

    Loose upper canine, will need removal - Prednisolone and anesthesia?

    ...complication there could be... Musiaka has some breathing issues, his nose is often filled with mucus from what another vet described is a chronic rhinitis, possibly from not getting a shot against it early in his life (he came to me like that). Could that be a fatal thing during anesthesia??
