Over the past 3 weeks, my handsome 10 year old boy deveolped a yellow discharge with a little blood in one nostril. A trip to the vet resulted with a great heart and no fever. Antibiotics were prescribed. 10 days later discharge remains with sneezing fits but no blood. Call to vet, a different antibiotic.
After 3 days, discharge stops and what looked like swelling appeared on his nose, pushing his eye closed. Call vet, stopped antibiotics for a few days thinking allergic reaction. No change. Started thinking (actually hoping) absess tooth.
Trip to new vet today, a more advanced diagnostic clinic, bad news teeth are perfect. 99% positive of a tumor, its hard unlike swelling, no air moving through his one nostril.
Going to try a steroid and resume antibiotic until the 2 week follow up visit. Then make our plans.
Very sad day for me. Not going to do well with this.
