So this site is good for peer support but I wanted to also pose my question on a vet site and have had some difficulty finding a solid one.  Any suggestions?

That site seems shady to me and you aren't even sure what kind of vet you are getting.  It is definitely more than a few bucks but I will consider it.  Thank you.

Yah.. No I do NOT recommend justanswer... it has an absurd amount of complaints and I think the highest rating I saw was 1.5 starts out of 5.

What kind of question do you have @kkrauss1?

I think you should look for an actual "offline" vet to get an answer. Some are available for phone consultations but you won't find them on generalized sites. You're probably looking for a specialist, and if you can provide more information we can maybe help think of a way to find the right one for your needs. I'm sure they'll be happy to answer any question you may have, for an appropriate consultation fee.

Ive already asked my question here rhinitis, possible css but no one seems to have any info. I have also already been working with a local bet but looking for other possible explanations.

Cornell is where I took him.  It is going to cost me a fortune but I am not just going to sit around and wait to see what happens I have to know what is wrong with him.

I remember your story now. What I would do is look for publications on veterinary cases of CSS and contact the authors if they are vets (DVM). This really requires expertise and I don't think you would benefit from an online vet service with a random vet there who probably wouldn't know much about such a rare condition.

What exactly is CSS?

Cavernous sinus syndrome. It ended up being a nasal tumor that grew into the brain cavity.

I'm sorry to hear that's the diagnosis, but at least you have one now.
