Turners Rx-nasal polyps....

[henry's_mum]

Talked to the vet today, and she feels he has nasal polyps, but feels surgery isn't an option.
So i've started him on Pred. and baytril today, and we'll see how the poor duder does...
he's eating and moving around as much as an older man would, but, it's just SO sad....

so, wish him luck! and thanks for all those who helped us in this nasal mystery....

:hugs:

Nasal polyps would make sense.

Hopefully he continues to truck around and be a cutie

Good luck Turner. Hope you get better soon.

yeah I guess the way it works is, when he gets the bleed, it's really the polyps bursting, which would explain why he doesn't bleed ALL the time right?
Anyhoo, he had day one of meds...
I snuck it to him in a banana muffin, he likey :cheeky:

Hope the meds help your boy.

The polyps don't burst but they irritate. Kiss Turner for me...the steroid should really help for a while.

That was my first thought for Turner and his bleeds.
Give him a kiss for me.

poor boy, he had a bad bleed last night... He usually doesn't mind when I help him clean up the blood, but tonight he wanted nothing to do with me at all...
he kept pulling the cloth out of my hand and putting it on the opposite side of the cage....
He's resting comfortably this morning, and i'll give him his second dose later today...

Turner is no longer up for adoption, he'll spend his time here in his forever home with moi :wink2:
Hootch will start intros to the newb, Chance, who was surrendered to me last night... That way they can go together when they're adopted out!

Keep thinking of my sweet boy Turner....
:heart:
