I?ve experienced nose issues in two cats, but in both, the problems were 
serious (one cancerous and one some sort of abscess which eventually impinged 
on the brain, causing a coma). Sounds like yours isn?t serious, which is a good

Anyone here ever dealt with a nasal polyp? 

My 15 yo FeLV cat started having a chronic bloody nose (in one nostril only) 
about 6 weeks ago. We did a shot of Convenia, then tried 2 weeks of 
azithromycin antibiotics. Didn't help. 

I took him in for a follow up yesterday and upon closer inspection we 
discovered a polyp visible just on the inside of his nostril. It was too small 
to remove with tweezers, so the vet prescribed another round of azithromycin to 
kep infection at bay, and suggested we wait a month or 3 for it to grow bigger 
so we can remove it. 

I'm just glad it's not cancerous, but the poor guy has sneezing fits daily, 
wakes up with dried blood crusted around his nostril each morning, and I'm 
wiping bloody specks off my floors and walls (from the sneezes. Looks like a 
mini crime scene in my house :-P) 

Curious if anyone else has had to help cats with nose polyps.

I just had a slight cold issue and it seemed Annie always got in my face when 
she sneezed. I took her to the vet first day since she is positive (age 8 going 
on 9) and felv issues usually start with upper respiratory. She got a shot and 
I brought home some antibiotics to give her. She seems to be getting better. I 
have been sofortunate with her that this is her only illnes.

Perhaps I missed something along the way... another email perhaps??   
I'm not sure if I understand your question...  Why would you have 
concerns about letting people know you have FeLV catsand moreover 
why would you feel somehow badly that you are NOT embarassed.  I've 
never noted any discrimination on the part of other cat owners against 
people with FeLV cats  The question took me so offguard that I feel 
I MUST have missed something along the way ( eg... you run a pet care 
business or something similiar   ?? Apart from anything like 
that I don't see the downside ( even potentially) of letting people know 
that you are kind enough to look after animals that have special 
needs...
