The past week Jack has been a bit snuffly and I thought he had a bit of cold. Well Saturday around 4.30am we woke up to hear him sneezing terribly.
He had a lot of smelly mucus coming out his nose, a browny colour, and just wouldn't stop sneezing, so I was frantically trying to call a vet, but they were all no answer or not there until the morning, in the end I had to settle for his usual vets at 11.00am in the morning when the emergency vet came in. He then started to sneeze blood!
So we took him in and the vet said he had a nasal infection and gave him an anti-biotic injection and a steriod injection. He has a course of both for a week, 3 tablets a day.
Well anyways when we got home, he started sneezing more blood and I noticed something green coloured hanging out of his nose, so I wiped it with a tissue and what should come out but a 4 inch blade of grass from his nose!
I couldn't believe it, he hasn't sneezed since and is back to his old self today. I have several ideas how he got it in there, the main one from just eating either grass on it's own or grass on something he's brought home like chicken bones and it must've got stuck in his mouth, he must've snorted and I assume it worked it's way up into his sysnuses, it's obviously been working it's way down his nose all week!
I can't believe what he's done, and I was so upset particularly when he started to sneeze blood as I thought he may have had a burst tumour or something, he's so naughty!!!
He has had his tablets today wrapped up in a slice of chicken and they went down no problem.
I am so glad he's okay! I thought I would share my little weekend adventure with you...
