My cats nose has swollen right on the bridge. It literally happened overnight.


Went to the Vet, Vet said they had never seen anything like it so they gave him a steroid injection to try and reduce the swelling. 3 days later and still no change really, still swollen as it was.


Any ideas what it could be, or what I can do to help him with it? Naturally we'll be going to the vet again, but I wasn't impressed with the vets prognosis of "Never seen this before, random guess time"


Cheers

Maybe he/she cut the inside of it while smelling bushes or some rare insect pitched it

Dunno what the treatment could be, camill is usually good for cats in swollen/sore cases

Ebola

Some powder from cat litter can build up blockages in the nasal passages, when their looking for a spot to poop.. Causing irritation and inflammation of the nose.






Pulled that outa thin air, seemed convincing

try a diff vet / post on a cat help forum

or at least yahoo answers

If a licensed veterinarian didn't know, a web forum of teenagers definitely won't know

You've been here since 07 - you should know that there is a wide range of skills on this website.


With regards to his nose, still swollen. His habits have not changed at all, still eating sleeping and purring as usual.

Camill? Will have a look out for that thanks

Got a second opinion from a seperate vet - he said that he can't be 100% sure without a £600 scan, but the last time he saw this he said it was cancer.



My cat is 11 years old, he's happy at home, and he's still himself so unfortunately, I think this is gonna have to take it's course.

Why wouldn't he offer a biopsy with histopathology?
