Default Re: Sore Nose

I took Autumn to the vet earlier and it went ok.

He gave her a steroid injection to take away the soreness so she would stop scratching it. He wants her to go back on Monday to see if the swelling goes down.

If it doesn't settle then he said a course of antibioitcs might be an option or another steroid injection.

He was reassured by how healthy she looked and while he didn't rule out an aggressive tumour he said that the soreness didn't look 'erosive' enough for that to be the case.

She behaved really well and didn't bite the vet, which I was very impressed with considered he had a firm grip of her scruff and injected her with a needle!
