Well, we just got home a while ago. I dont feel like we really got anywhere, which is frustrating.
The vet took a look at the xrays. He said he really didnt see too much of a problem in the nose. He said its a little shaded in that area, bu the didnt think it was dark enough to be a tumor or abscess.
With regards to the teeth xrays, he said Max's teeth/tooth roots look great. They are all very straight and none of them looked overgrown or anything. He also said he didnt really think it was the abscess area causing all this trouble. I swear the area is growing though.
It feels like all we're doing is the same thing over and over and not getting anywhere. He wants to continue the nose drops bc he thinks they are helping. Also continue with baytril. He also wants to keep up with the nebulizer to help with breathing.
He wants to do this for 2 weeks and if theres still no improvement, he willdo a scope into Max's nasal cavity to see for sure whats in there.
I told him how Max is choking when he eats/grooms and he said he thinks its because of his nasal problems. He said he can tell that Max is breathing a bit through his mouth to compensate and this is probably why we're getting that noise.
I told him also that Max was acting like the abscess area was painful. He felt around and said he didnt think the infection was back, as the area is all very hard and solid. He gave me somemetacam to give to Max if I notice its hurting.
Im so confused about everything. I guess I'll just trust his opinion and just keep doing whatever I can.
