Nasal congestion & bulging eye

by krlo, Oct 29, 2007 06:40PM
6 yr old Yorkie/Maltese mix. She has had severe nasal congestion for 4 weeks. Wheezing thru the nose, also gurgling purring sounds when exhaling.  Lungs are clear. Has had a 10 day round of antibiotics and decongestant with no improvement. Had a 3 day breathing treatment, no improvement. 3 days ago her left eye appears to be bulging out. Went to vet again, pressures are normal. Was given another antibiotic, and eye drops. Was asked to come back on Monday to have someone else look at it. Go in today, and new Vet says it it the most bizarre thing he has ever seen. Called in 2 other Vets to look. Now I am being sent to someone else who specializes in eyes. I feel the nasal cavity is obstructed somehow, (A Mass?) and is now affecting the eye.
She is eating, and acting normal, just difficulty breathing.

my 10 year old lab mix has almost the same thing. I just noticed the eye issues today.  A steroid shot helped the breathing for about a week.  he is back to sucking air now and i noticed his eyes are extremely red and bulging.   The vet said that it was allergies that caused the breathing problem.  we thought it was an obstruction but he wasnt getting air flow through either nostrol.  

please let me know what your vet has told you.

Eye specialist felt it was some type of systemic process, such as Lymphoma. We did xrays and lab work which came back normal. Eye was bx. and showed no evidence of neoplasm. Eye Dr. is waiting on 2nd opinion. We were referred to another clinic where they could do a scope of the nasal pharynx area. Was told that the tissue was abnormal looking. Waiting on results now.
