I'm hoping that someone can provide some insight into an issue that I am having with my 10 yo Calico.
She was diagnosed with mammary cancer a few months back and was undergoing chemo. Unfortunately, a latent virus kicked up and she developed a URI that we cannot seem to defeat.
To date she has been on two different antihistamines, Clavamox and Bactryl antibiotics, has undergone a sinus flush, but all to no avail. We have also been using a nebulizer with little effect.
Last night she became extremely congested after her nebulizer treatment and we had to run her to the vet. She was only able to breath through her mouth...both nostrils were completely clogged.
Does anyone have any experience with the use of Medrol or other steroids to reduce the inflammation in feline sinuses?
I'm drawing upon my own allergy/URI treatments and steroids are the only thing haven't been tried yet. I'm also open to any other treatment options that you may have seen have an effect on what I've described above.
Thanks in advance for your help. I'm out of ideas.
