Only something I love so much could cause me this much worry!
For a week, this goblin has been on antibiotics for an upper respiratory infection (sneezing white snot from one nostril), with no improvement. Today I started calling vets and seeing what my options were for emergency vets, because it was seeming more like an abscess than snuffles (we vaccinate for pasteurella, but there are at least two other "snuffles" bacteria. Still waiting on culture for him). His nose was sensitive to the touch. He has infection breath. He's been extremely clingy, and has to be snuggled like a baby (and sneeze all over me) all night.
A few minutes ago he went into a huge sneezing fit, the hardest I've seen so far, a little scary! And out of his nose launched THIS! An inch long piece of nasty, goopy hay!
I'm sure we'll probably have another week or two of antibiotics, but at least I can hope for some actual improvement now.
Carl, you aren't allowed to be sick!
