Loads of jelly came out of Grim! *now with pictures*

:shock:

He's really, really bad at the moment and can hardly breathe. He was mouth breathing last night and I was going to ring the vets today to get him in. I came down to see him in the morning and he was still really bad, hunched in a corner where he doesn't usually sit and still struggling. (He has snuffles by the way). I'm working from home today so I went downstairs and set up everything for work, then went back to see him. He was sleeping calmly, no noisy breathing at all, and on the floor next to him were three lumps of white 'jelly'.

I'm assuming this is the infections coming out and he probably sneezed them out? They're quite big, each abut 2cm long. :shock: But now he looks so much better, so I'm just going to let him sleep. Has anyone experienced this before?
 
Sounds like a much more severe version of what Ginger gets, she snots out 'lumps' of white infection when she's really bad but they are like 5mm max, often less, like 2-3mm.

She always appears better after that too.

Not really much you can do about it though if you can't beat the reason for the infection, which i assume in Grim is properly deept rooted?

Yeah, the infection is spreading too. I guess that means the decongestant is probably working. I have no idea how he got them out, but that must be why he's been so bad for the last fews days as it was working up. Poor boy.
 
Thanks everyone. I'm going to take pictures of the 'jelly' when my phone has charged.
 
I rang the vets and they said that this reaction is normal with the decongestant he's on. Phew! And Grim does seem so much better now. :D

And now for pictures, please don't look if you're squeamish!

Jesus Jen, that is immense :shock: Ginger's are NOTHING like that! Probably about 1/4 of the size!

Poor Grim but thank god that's coming out and not staying in, he must feel so much better for it :love:
 
Ewwwww! I'm glad they're out though.....but I dread to think how he got them out :shock:

Hope he feels better not they aren't clogging him up :love:
 
:shock: My goodness, no wonder he was struggling so much :( He must feel light years better now thats all out, bless him.

Loads of vibes for him xxxxxxx
 
:shock: Why did I look before food shopping.

Poor Grimmie, he must be feeling so much better now that has come out. Deserves a good long sleep. Probably needs it.
