I spoke with my vet a few days ago and she has called a prescription in to the pharmacy for a drug called Piroxicam. It has anti-inflammatory properties like Metacam but it also has been helpful in shrinking cancerous tumors by inhibiting an enzyme that tumors produce. The pharmacist is putting it into a chicken suspension on Monday for me to pick up.
Tiger is off the Metacam and only ever received that one dose days ago.
He is now on an antibiotic that is equivalent to the brand name Baytril and I give him 1ml of suspension two times a day. It's supposed to help him if he has a bacterial infection going on in his nasal passages.
So far he is only getting worse but I'm hopeful that the Piroxicam will prove helpful.
Just wanted to give an update.
