Hi,
Posted a long message a couple of weeks ago asking for help with a CDT. Yvonne was kind enough to suggest something to do, but I had already tried that. So here goes,
CDT with runny (clear) nose. Will NOT come out of his hide. I have to pull him out daily. Then I soak him. Daily. Then, he will walk around and eat. He is eating well, as usual. He had a course of 5 antibiotic/steroid nose lavages. Doc said that was enough. There is zero inprovement. He has been peeing and pooping.
Mouth swab culture negative for mycoplasma, but a couple other bacteria were identified.
He has not had xrays or bloodwork or systemic antibiotics. He sounds congested sometimes, like now in his soak.
Something is not right. How should I proceed? I have done all the usual. Vet insists he will be okay. 2 months now. My number one concern is his not wanting to come out. He acts like he is cold but it is 100 degrees daytime here. Again, he looks "fine" after I pull him out and soak him.
What are we (me and 2 vets), missing here??
