Hello,

A cat that I fed in the backyard recently started making very strange snorting sound. I also noticed he refused the food.
After trying to catch him for about a week he was brought to a clinic where he was given Convenia and prednisone to which he responded positively – had appetite again and started meowing.
However, after about a week the simptoms returned and x-ray was done that showed growth in nasal area.

At this time he is on prednison (one dose a day) again and is showing some interest in food, especially bologna. He’s still not meowing which he has always done outside until he got ill.
It was suggested he should be taken for a CT scan but this procedure requires sedation and is extremely cost prohibitive considering what additional information it could offer.
Would you have any suggestion what it could be if X-ray and bloodwork (which was very good) provided?
Thank you
Mick
