Snotty nose and sneezing

Hi everyone
not been on forum in ages with moving house etc but need a quick bit of advice please.

On Tuesday maddie stopped eating - most unlike her. During the vets examination I noticed her nose was snotty and she was grunting when breathing. Vet said her chest is clear and suspected an URTI. So we have a course of baytril.

She sneezes maybe twice a day which always brings a long gooey bit of mucus out - from one side only. Once she sneezed out a piece of something I don't know what it was - approx 1mm by 8mm so i've assumed it was a foriegn object making her sneeze. But she's still sneezing now and sounds grungy when stressed ( getting her meds)!

If it was an infection would it be only one side effected?? Or does it sound like an irritation?

Thanks guys
ps she is eating just fine again!!
 
If it was a FB then the nasal passages are likely to be inflammed, even if the FB has now gone.

Is she on an anti-inflammatory ?
 
Hi Jane
thanks for replying

she's not on any anti-inflams no just the baytril. I can get her on some though.

Would an infection more likely effect both nostrils. I'm praying it's not an infection poor Mads has enough to deal with!
