<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Less likely to be cancer if it started
with both nostrils. In November I thought my Noelle had a
respiratory infection. She had bloody mucous coming from only 1
nostril. We went through several antibiotics which didn't help,
until finally she had a full oral exam under anesthesia. Needle
aspirations were taken of a lump that was found, plus of her
enlarged lymph nodes. All three samples came back showing
cancer. <br>
<br>
Clindamycin is supposed to be the best antibiotic for sinus
infections, but it is also the absolutely most nasty tasting.
Flavorings or sweeteners barely make a dent in the bitter taste of
liquid clindamycin. If you have some, put a tiny drop on your
tongue, and you'll find out fast why your cat fights it! The only
thing that helps with the bitter taste is to eat or drink
something immediately afterwards. I think we went through at
least 4 different antibiotics with Noelle. Might have been 5. If
antibiotics don't seem to do anything, then a full oral exam under
anesthesia, or CT scan if you can afford it and kitty doesn't have
other health issues. Or maybe an endoscopic sinus exam if there
is someone in your area that can do that and has the equipment. <br>
<br>
As others mentioned, humidifying the air might help no matter what
the ultimate cause of the bloody discharge.<br>

Hey folks<br>
<br>
Coco went through a bad time last year where she would
not eat, dropped a lot of weight. We got her started
eating again and she has gained 1/2 pound - from 6.0
to 6.5 (she is a small cat, but I'd rather see her at
7).<br>
<br>
Anyway, she is now sneezing blood. I took her in to
the vet Saturday and he tried one antibiotic, took her
back on Wed and he gave her another antibiotic, which
I am probably going to have to go rebuy tomorrow as
I've managed to lose the bottle.<br>
<br>
Anyway - she is now sneezing blood and has a very
little bit of dried matter in the corners of her
eyes. She is eating, drinking, pottying, playing
fine. But she is still sneezing blood - sometimes a
fine spray and sometimes hunks of bloody mucus which
is very unnerving.<br>
<br>
Has anyone had to deal with this?<br>
<br>
Kelley and Coco<br>
