Re: New member with lots of questions
Hi Ken. I also had a Boston, who was diagnosed with Cushings around the same age.
- Im a few years removed, so I apologize for not having specifics (I WAS pretty fluent with the way things worked, but its been a few years.)
- The 'crusty nose' was an alarming symptom, as I remember... Bostons already have a slight breathing issue (it doesnt take much to get them overwhelmed, and 'reverse sneezes' are common with the breed.)
- so I understand, and have seen what happens when you compound that with the closure of the nostrils.
- For THAT, I found the best defense was to actually get Vitamin E 'SoftGel" and puncture the pill, alowing the liquid inside to come out...
squeeze the liquid from the softgel, and rub the liquid on the crusty nostil and around the nose.
- I tried BioBalm, but it didnt seem as affective, so not a "price" thing.
(obviously, do not rub in a way/area that would obstruct the intake of air)
In hindsight, maybe what you thought was being upset around crowds, and kids in the pool was actually his reaction to outside stimulus, and was trying to cope with the excitement, thru a weakened air flow.
