Help Needed UD Happening again:(

she only had 2 ml of metacam when she stopped eating and none since. She snaffles her food (i feel mugged at breakfast time!) all the time. The only time she's off her food is when her nose is a little bunged up she's shown no further signs since but is now on Baytril twice a day.

I don't have any teeth experience, so couldn't say if it may be teeth or not, but if it is, I would've expected less eating - is she being selective about her food at all?

You should ask Theo about it, she had a bun with blocked nose issues, John Chitty saw her, and it wasn't anything to do with teeth, but I can't remember exactly what the diagnosis was now.

cheers Jay i will drop Theo a message soon as i really do think it is related to her breathing rather than teeth. she will eat anything i put in front of her most of the time..hay, pellets, greens, etc but on the off days it's like she wants to eat but can't be bothered with it. Trust me to get a strange one

Hiya , yes my gorgeous Andy (Son) and Enzo (Mother) had those symptoms, Andy was the worst, I took them both to see John Chitty who was utterly brilliant, he diagnosed Enzo as having tooth root problems as well as arthritis in her neck, Andy was diagnosed with Frontal Sinusitis and had his nose drilled to relieve the pressure and the muck and gunk, he was OK for a few months and then he appeared to get used to his medication and he went backwards, we have tried many other things and the latest medication, Streptocare, has by far had the best results, both Andy and Enzo have improved so much since being on this medication, I have some pictures of their xrays somewhere, if I find them then I will post them, I agree with the others that it is not always teeth probems

Here we go

thanks Snowy, that was really helpful. I will be storing the info for our next vet visit. hattie seems completely fine again now but she is having baytril twice a day for the foreseeable future.
