Hello everyone. I have a 10 year old female cat and am currently waiting for an appointment with an internal medicine specialist. She has had chronic upper respiratory symptoms for 3 months, mainly unilateral. Multiple antibiotics, steroids, Cerenia nasal drops, nasal flush, dental cleaning with X-rays, as well as skull X-rays under anesthesia during the nasal flush. She most recently has clear eye drainage and her lacrimal glad is swollen. The swelling of the lacrimal gland is causing her face to appear asymmetrical. I am waiting for the appointment with the internal medicine doctor. Nothing has been seen on X-ray so I am waiting for the CT scan. Has anyone had a kitty with chronic rhinitis with facial asymmetry? The differential diagnosis is a nasal mass, although I am praying it is not cancer, I am aware at her age a mass is a possibility. She is eating and drinking well. She is currently on Azithromycin for 10 days. This has been a stressful couple months worrying about her. Anyone that has any experience with chronic rhinitis or a nasal mass could you please share your experiences. Thank you!!!
