Nasal Tumor: What to Expect?

Hello there,



I'm sorry to hear about your pet's nasal tumor. It’s understandable to feel concerned, and I'm here to offer some guidance and support.



A nasal tumor in pets could cause symptoms such as nasal discharge (which might be clear, bloody, or pus-like), sneezing, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties. These tumors are more common in older pets and can result from a variety of causes, including environmental factors, genetics, or previous respiratory infections.



At home, you can help your pet by keeping them comfortable. Gently wipe away any discharge from their nose with a soft, damp cloth, and ensure their breathing is unobstructed. A humidifier might help ease breathing difficulties.



Watch for signs of a serious issue, such as persistent bleeding, significant changes in breathing, a strong odor from the nose, or if your pet seems lethargic or in pain.



It’s vital to get a professional assessment to understand the nature of the tumor and discuss possible treatments. I recommend booking a video consult with one of our veterinarians at Dial A Vet. We'll help you determine the best course of action for your pet's specific needs.



Take care and reach out when you're ready!
