Our cat Daisy has been ill for the past three months but we cannot find what is wrong. She has been tested for FELV & FIV but both were negative.
Initially she had like black scabbing develope under her chin and it increased to around her lips and the base of her ears and sides of her face. At this time we did find that she had sticky fleas that she caught off the chooks but we cleared them up with frontline. Her paws are always stained a brown colour from cleaning her face. The black scabbig is now predominately around the base of her whiskers.
About two months ago her right nostril started running clear and after a month infection developed and it became yellow and now it affects both nostrils. One course of antibiotics cleared the infection for a while but it is bad again and she is having trouble sleeping and has to use a pillow. we are trying a different antibiotic.
The vet initially diagnosed an imune deficiency and perscribed cortisone but she has not been on it for a while. The vet inspected her nasal passages as far as he could under sedation but found nothing.
She is eating & drinking well and is still active but her coast lustre is going and she developed a limp in her right back leg a month ago. She is 7 year old long haired tabby and our vet has run out of options other than to operate to view the part of the sinus canal he cant get to.
If anyone has some advice on what might be wrong please let us know.
Thanks Peter
