Dazzlin Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Sorry I haven't posted in ages but having a two year old and a 5 week old new born I've been very busy anyhow onto the issue. Milo has had a really crusty nose for over two months now, every morning his nostrils are full of dried snot which he sneezes all over the carpets walls my trousers the stuff is awful and he don't seem at all happy. He's been to the vets 3 times and they have prescribed him antibiotics the first time, second time different antibiotics and anti infantries the third time they todo blood samples as they can't tell me what's wrong. I've spent over £250 which I don't mind if I was seeing an improvement but I'm not. The top of his nose is bone dry and flaking but the front of his nose is wet almost dripping wet, to me he looks like he has a cold but just can't shift it. I have insurance as the vets (drove) say the next thing will be an operation . Any ideas or advice would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzlin Posted February 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Well spoken to the vets and milo is back in for a series of tests which include Camera up the nose Flushing of the nasal cavities X-rays Been told if he has to stay in over night the total cost will be wait for this £800 to £900 pounds this is now going through insurance and they have told me that once they have carried out these procedures they will know what's up with him Poor milo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike101 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 Ouch ..poor Milo indeed ....... Good luck and I hope he gets better soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzlin Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Just a quick update after Milos treatment, had the camera up his nose, X-rays taken, swabs of the snot, cultures grown and his nasal passage flushed. They found nothing in there but the cultures grew a bacterial infection which they again treated with the most aggressive antibiotics but that didn't work he's still sneezing huge amounts of snot which is horrid for him. The vet has now prescribed Prednidale steroids as they now think that his nose may be inflamed and aggravating things All I can say is thank god for pet insurance , hope he gets better soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Awww, poor Milo. Fingers crossed he's better soon. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzlin Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 No matter what the vet does or drugs they prescribe nothing seems to improve his nose and the discharge that he sneezes everywhere poor milo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzlin Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Well a few days in now an milo has stopped sneezing and the snot seems to be subsiding fingers crossed. One thing still remains his really crusty nose I'm not sure what I can rub into it to moisturise it as it's looking really flaky and not healthy Any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clare70 Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Glad to hear he's making progress, not sure about the moisturizer, hopefully some one else will be able to suggest something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 I'm not too sure what you can put on the nose itself. I would of thought that as the steroids continue to bring the inflammation under control, then the rest would slowly start to pick up too, presuming it's all related. But maybe someone else will have a few ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzlin Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 I'm cleaning it daily with warm water, the vet didn't say if it was connected to the bacterial infection and that he would be on the steroids for a few months Was hoping that I could use something to try and clear the flaking of the scales on the nose as it's causing some discomfort to him Thanks for the replies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Husky_ &_The_Hound Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 You could use 100% Aloe Vera gel. This should take care of the problem and offer some relief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan&Diesel Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Try some Vaseline once daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzlin Posted March 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 The vet has suggested sudocream for his nose so trying that at the mo only downside so far is a white nose lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
