Bridgette's progress

Well, the good news is that Bridgette continues to improve! She's still on her steroids and antibiotics and they seem to be doing the trick.

I talked to Dr. Prauss about her progress and what to expect from rhino...yaddayadda-nose thing. She said that this condition can't be cured, but can be controlled with meds. Somehow, the interior of her nose got irritated and inflamed. Unlike a normal cat (or human nose) once the irritant was gone, the nose didn't relax, it just went into overdrive, producing loads of goo and causing so much inflammation, the passageway was blocked.

So, we'll gradually reduce the dosage and see how it goes. Her weight (which I describe as chunky) is something we'll deal with later.

But she's out and about, grooming again and generally getting feisty. She's actually been fighting with the other cats which in this case, I see as a good thing. The fact she still has litter box issues is another little issue I'll worry about another day. One thing at a time!
