Good thoughts & prayers sending out to Kia & you!

Thanks guys. Came home from work to find more bloody snot in the crate and on Kia. Poor girl.

She didn't really want to eat. I coaxed her and then she slowly picked at with Chipper hovering over her. He finished it off.

I have never heard of anything like this, I sure hope its nothing serious. How old is Kia? I wonder if it could be some type of kennel cough? Has she coughed at all?

[ramanth]

She'll be 10 in June. She hasn't coughed at all. It's so bizarre.

I have never heard of any type of cancer that would have this as a symptom, I sure hope she just has a virus or something that isn't serious.

I think this is what my vet is thinking of:

If the discharge contains blood, then fungal infection or cancer are most likely to be present. An exception to this rule is that violent sneezing from any cause can cause temporary bleeding from the nose. But if bleeding is NOT caused by sneezing, then fungal infection or cancer are the most likely causes. Nasal bleeding can be part of a body-wide bleeding problem in which case bleeding or bruising are seen in locations in addition to the nose.

Thats scary stuff, its sometimes not a good idea to read those things while waiting, you can make yourself sick. Big hugs to you and please try to relax.

Adding our prayers for Kia. And sending (((hugs))) to you & Andy & the pups.

I am so sorry. And I know about the waiting game. It's not fun. This does sound serious but I surely hope it's not. Sugar just had something similar and it was benign so let's hope for the best. Kia, please eat! We're worried about you.

I was without a computer last night, and the first thing I checked on getting online was this thread. I am so sorry to hear that it is not better news. Prayers for an easy solution and recovery continuing. I didn't realize Kia was that old (not that it is old, I just expected you to say something like 6 when you said how old she was).
