Moosmom, again, I hope Casey is doing better.
What I find is helpful is that when I take the pet to the vet I usually ask what his plan of attack is, and then, all the alternatives. Xrays can usually rule out so many things and by starting with that, it often gives them a better picture. Yes, it can be expensive, something like $85 but at that point so many things can be ruled out. I think all too often vets hand out pills, much like doctors do, much to my dislike, when in fact things don't always get cured by pills.
I am not questioning your vet's decision but suggesting that you (and maybe you did) ask for ALL the vet's thoughts on this poor kitty's nose problems AND going at the heavy duty stuff first, so as to not drag this on and run up the bill - not to mention, putting your mind at ease. If you rule of the worst situation, you can take a breather and relax waiting for Casey to heal slowly. If you keep putting off the worse case, then it isn't fun for anyone. Does this make sense? Often Dr.s will rule out the worse case senario first..... you know, they scare the heck out of you when you get your report back...saying....well, it could be......and then they come back with, well, its just a bad cold!
Keep us posted. You are in my thoughts, obviously!
