Max

Our little dog, Max, as some of you know, has been having quite the nasal problems in the past few months. Lots of intense, almost "violent" sneezes, mucus flying out of his nose when he sneezes, and recently a sort of 'hacking' of mucus in his throat by trying to get it out of his nasal passage. He's been on a couple of different types of allergy medicine, which didn't really help. So our vet said he may have possibly fungus in his nose, or an infection, or even (heaven forbid, and it's doubtful) a tumor of some sort in there. So we took him this week to the Univ of MN Animal Clinic, and now tomorrow he has to go back to put under anesthesia so they can do a CT Scan and if they don't find anything from that, then a rhinosocpy (spelling?) where they would put a tube with a little camera in his nose to search for what may be causing this. We are very hopeful that they will find something that is easily cleared up. It makes me sad like crazy. I know that obviously the clinic is extremely professional and I have no need to worry, but I do. He's just our cute, helpless little dog who can't speak for himself. He can't tell us what's wrong. He may have to stay overnight in case there is bleeding in his nose from being poked with a tube up there, but I hope not. I hope he's back home with us Friday night...a bit groggy from the anesthesia...but at least at home.
