Honey has had a respiratory infection on and off for years. I made a post about her latest episode in health a couple of weeks ago, but have given up with it because nobody was posting anything.
Anyway, D1ck vet today for a ct scan. They got her out the carrier in a rush to check her over because the ct was only available when we were there. Poor Honey was struggling like mad when the vet insisted he had to look underneath her. That done, I picked her up to put her into her carrier and there was blood EVERYWHERE :shock:. I thought she must have torn a nail out, but according to the vet, she had sore hocks and she bashed it on the table and made it bleed. Her hocks were ok before, although she has been sitting around a lot lately.
Ct scan showed part of the right side of her nose has been destroyed by the infection. There should be little things (forgot their name) in her nostrils and the one on the right has totally gone, and further down is full of pus.
They want her in for an op to drill a hole in her sinuses, scrape out the pus and get it sent away, and put a drain in. They couldn't do it just now because my other vet had told me to keep her on the antibiotics.
Really dreading it. Has anyone had a similar op on their bun?
