[QUOTE="SupportDragon, post: 2035317, member: 109496"] 2 years of chronic sinusitis later, he has cleared the infection 😅. His old doctor put him on enrofloxacin twice (his go-to for respiratory issues). When it didn’t work, he said it’s most likely a polyp or cardiac issues that would need a specialist. His new doctor tried ceftazidime (her go-to for respiratory issues). 2 weeks into the ceftazidime his nostril clears completely. His last dose of ceftazidime was a month ago. The sad thing is, now he’s had several GI issues. First he had stool that looked like he was shedding his intestinal mucosal lining (a white ‘sausage-like’ casing around the stool). This was later confirmed to be correct by his doctor. Labs said he had a very high coccidia burden (the O and P just said 30+ cysts). 5 days of Albon cleared it. The mucosal lining continued to appear in his stool throughout and after the treatment. The bulk of his stool became entirely undigested food. The doctor said to try 7 days of metro and if it didn’t work he would need an endoscopy from a specialist. His new doctor found gas in his stomach on an X-ray (and walking pneumonia…?). But, she said his blood panel was normal (no abnormal WBC) except slightly elevated glucose and bile levels. She didn’t find either of those concerning. The metro started October 28. His bowel movements started improving November 1. He finished the metro November 4 and started having diarrhea November 6. Daily. I have had him for over 5 years and he has never had actual diarrhea (maybe a loose bowel movement, never diarrhea). He was also bloated, but the bloat would clear up after a bath and a couple of hours of basking. So, I assume it must’ve been gas causing the bloating. His appetite slightly decreased November 9. He ate about half what he normally would. His new doctor put him back on the metro because her best guess is the first round didn’t clear the bacteria. Apparently gas is a sign of a GI bacterial issue. He is on day 2 of 10 of the metro and his stool is loose, but not diarrhea. Sorry for the long winded response but it has been one thing after another with this guy 😅 [/QUOTE]
