my dog is having some really intense sinus issues. her nose is cracked and dry. (border collie). and she sounds like she needs to blow her nose. i got homeopathic drops for sinuses and now am giving amoxycillin. she is eating fine, but pretty weak. i have no money at all to get to a vet, so i'm hoping someone out there has seen this before. it's like she has allergies. no coughing. no bloody nose. and the appetite is great. anything?
probably you should observe your dog and find what the cause...and searched to google what was that and find the cure...as of we are not professional to answer that...we can only give some advise that we thought could help you...
i finally called the vet. i can't get her in until tuesday. tonight she will not eat. only ice. total mouth breathing. i am trying to see if they might see her tomorrow. i'll let you all know. it's very difficult to see her struggle just to breath. i am hoping it's only a sinus infection, but from what i've read it could be malignant tumors or palyps. there is an emergency vet, but it's about 30 miles away. and it's $100 to just walk in the door. this economy has left me paralyzed.
well, she may have lymphoma, but i'll know for sure early next week. but that really isn't what's making her nose all stuffed up. so we're treating her with antibiotics and prednisone. this is day 2 of the meds. she is still having a hard time breathing through her nose. but she is eating a little more. she is so weak. the vet thought i brought her in because of her glands being swollen. but it was because she couldn't breath and was so weak. the glands didnt' get big until she got sick. time will tell. she is such a sweet and good girl. oh, and the fee? $188 that is my budget for all my girls (i have two cats as well). so i pray my cats dont' get ill. but this is 2008 - and so far it has not gone all that well.
she has advanced stage of lymphoma. her liver and bone marrow are also affected. she is on prednisone and is still loving enough of life that i will wait a week or so. unless otherwise needed. 2 weeks ago her nodes were normal. can't believe how fast this went. she is only 8 years old.
it will cost $130 to put her down. i do not have that money. i am trying to sell some jewelry to get it. it just seems unfair that after i've paid nearly $200, to get her peace i have to find more money. so much for humane. this is horrible. absolutely horrible. i don't want to be home anymore.
a very good friend gave me the money that i needed. molly was diagnosed last monday and she died on saturday. during the night, i woke to hearing her struggle to breath. i wish that at 3:30 in the morning, there would be a vet somewhere to help. she suffered until 9 am. it was hell. thank you all for listening. i no longer have a dog so i doubt i'll be posting here. God bless all of you.
