I see those of us with FeLV cats as being their biggest advocates. Whenever 
possible, we should help to educate others and dispel the myths surrounding 
them to help give them a chance at life.

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. 

Thanks,
