RULED OUT: All Primary Nasal and Paranasal Sinus Disorders

So many people have been kind enough to offer their suggestions regarding possible causes of Pinuki's epistaxis. As a result, it is becoming difficult to respond to individual e-mails, continue to advocate for her, and raise money. As often as I can, I will respond individually but I am also using this blog to provide answers of interest to the broader community. Please stay in touch. Your help is invaluable.

Nuki's medical team which includes Dr. David Saylor  http://www.vcaspecialtyvets.com/veterinary-referral-associates/veterinary-specialists/david-saylor/146 has ruled out, based on history, clinical presentation and extensive diagnostic testing http://bernese.biz/fundraiserPinuki.htm , all primary nasal and paranasal sinus disorders including: viral infection, bacterial rhinitis, fungal rhinitis, nasal parasites, idiopathic lymphoplasmacytic (hypersensitivity) rhinitis, nasal polyps, neoplasia (i.e.nasal tumors), foreign body, dental disease, oronasal fistual, trauma, allergic rhinitis, idiopathic granulomatous rhinitis, nasopharyngeal tubinates and stenosis.
