Trudy
19 yr old FS DSH
Over 1 yr duration sinus congestion and sneezing. Had exam under anesthesia 8/2009 with flush, rads, culture. Culture grew pseudomonas. Felt great for about 2 weeks after anesthesia from flushing the sinuses, but congestion came back and has not responded to much. She was on low dose marbofloxacin for 30 days post flush. Abx did cause soft stool eventually.
Disharge was getting yellow at that time and she was sneezing blood from chronic irritation. After flush, discharge has stayed clear with occasional blood. She has had mild renal azotemia for years and is now needing SQ fluids 3 times weekly. Hx of obesity and able to get weight down starting at age 17. Very poor mobility when started tx which has improved greatly.
T = generally lavendar to purple
P = rapid, thin, deep
Pts = generally around SP/ST, BL18, GB channel always very active - esp around arthritic hips and spine
Coat quite oily - has improved over past 2 years
