I've posted before about Maya Linn's chronic sneezing. She was seen by several vets who ALL claimed she had a URI and she's been on every single antibiotic on the market to no avail.:(:( Her lungs are clear.
I took her to a holistic vet who treated her with Phosphorus, Silicea and then Sulphur. Nothing is helping. My suspicions tell me she has a polyp in either her left nostril or in her sinuses. She has this little "bump" on the left side of her nose that comes and goes. I just don't know what to do. The vet is stumped as well. Another holistic vet at the same hospital gave me nose drops to help with the congestion. The "goop" is only in the left nostril. Sometimes it's clear, sometimes it's yellow. A vaccination carcinoma was found on her back quarters. Don't know if there's any correlation between the two.
I SO want to have an x-ray of her sinuses done to see if there is a polyp. But my funds are VERY limited. I think I'm going to see if they can do a culture to see if there are cancerous cells in the mucus. If there are, I guess all I can do is keep her happy, comfortable and loved. The vet says she's not in any pain. But her eyes tell me she's miserable. She is the third kitty who has had this problem. I just don't know what to do.
She's my little 13 year old Puerto Rican Dumpster Kitty who I've had since she was 12 weeks old. I am absolutely over the moon for this little girl, who won AACE's 3rd Best Household Pet Nationally!!!!
If you guys can spare prayers for my little girl, I'd appreciate it.
