Good thing it was a polyp! My cat was doing the same thing and no polyp was found. This went on for about 4 years and her vet kept giving her different antibiotics and nothing helped. I asked if they could do a nose culture. And they said no they couldn’t so like I said it went on for 4 years!! It wasn’t until moved back to Lexington SC from Nashville TN that her doctor in Columbia SC saw her. And I told her what was going on and what they said about they couldn’t do a culture!

Be very careful pseudmonas outbreaks in cats are running rampant in the United States in the last several years so if your car shows any signs of nasal discharge and whising and sneezing get him or her checked for a polyp! If no polyps them get them checked for pseudmonas! Pseudmonas is very Dangerous!! It can cause nerve damage! Nurolagical problems heat problems peralisis and even Death!!

What a darling!

Could it maybe be caused by a tick-bourne illness? Erlichia, etc? Were any labs run? Tick PCR, etc? Or even a foxtail, maybe?

Hi. Can you tell me how you treated this? My Pumpkin has a very similar problem, he has a set of asymmetrical ulcers on his upper lip, but they aren’t going away and none of his vets (regular and oncologist) have a clue what they are from or how to resolve them. He was doing well with chemotherapy for Lymphoma but the ulcers have made him backtrack.

Thank you for adding your story! Wishing you and your kitty continued success. I will add that I have been very happy with adding a tiny amount of miralax to the food daily. I also recommend feeding canned food with water added and getting them up to exercise as much as possible. Use catnip, a harness to walk them outside or even a large training wheel. These help immensely.

I am so sorry to hear about your experience. Truly. I hope that your pup is better and I hope that we can find a way to offer more help to more people who need it so we can save more pets. I would like to hear more about who offered to help with your pets care and maybe we can assist with this? you can call the clinic for an appointment or email me. best of luck to you all,

Hey Anna!

I was just reading through the stories and I wanted to clarify one thing for you. The standard for a criminal case is beyond a reasonable doubt (somewhere around 95%) as we don’t want to throw innocent people in prison. The standard for a civil case, which this would most likely be, is only “a preponderance of evidence” or more likely than not (anything over 50%). This is not that high of a standard and is a lot easier to meet.
