Re: Sniffles and red face- Lancelot

[Nina]

Hooray for you and Lancelot!  What the heck is Ovaban?  And ozone in his 
ears??  The second vet sounds like a keeper!  Thanks for posting about 
Lance, prayers coming your way that he continues to improve.  Way to go 
girl!

I'd written about my problems with Lancelot - my little mostly white  
kitty -  he had the slight sniffles, red swollen face and eyes, face  
and neck starting to itch.  Weird. His nose was stopped up, he looked  
miserable. He was starting to scratch bloody places on his neck.

Took him to my "usual" vet, who tried Amoxi, Zeniquin, blood test,  
fungal test.  No help. He had a couple of Cortisone shots, the 1st  
seemed to make it better then worse. She suggested food or other  
allergies as a possibilities.

Last Friday, I took him to another vet I go to, about an hour away in  
Hot Springs.  I've gone to her before for several years.  She gave  
him ozone in his ears (ear insufflation), did a skin biopsy, then  
gave me Ovaban (if I spelled it right) and I'm giving him that for a  
week (then reduce to once a week).

Guess what!  He's better.  I'll still be curious to see what the skin  
biopsy says, but I'm delighted.
