Nose Bleed

The longer you put off going to the vet, the worse the problem may become, the harder it may be to cure, and the more expensive it will be.

Good luck to Spunky, and please let us know what you find out

It was an upper respiratory inflammation. He had to have antibiotics for it. Thanks for your concern and interest.

Aw, poor little boy. He'll be feeling better very soon! Depending on the antibiotic he is taking, Spunky might get an upset tummy or diarrhea. Be sure to give it to him when he has food in his stomach, and a little probiotic every day can help too.

Let us know how he's doing.

whew. glad it's not worse than that (although.. since cats are obligate nose breathers.. anything blocking their breathing is not good!), I was afraid it might be something much worse. Glad he's getting good meds! I'm sure you are both feeling better now that he is/will be on the mend.

Thank you so much and yes he does feel much better now. The only reason I let you know is because you seemed genuinely caring and concerned. I will not be making anymore comments or reports because of the bluntness and negativity on here. Like I said to one poster,I don't need or want that and will not subject myself to it anymore.
Thanks again and God bless you and your family......especially your "fur babies".
