Hi Everyone! I need advice about this condition!
My girl Rosie is 28 years old and the right side of her face has suddenly gone paralysed. Her ear droops, she can’t blink and her eye waters on both sides and her right side of mouth is drooping too. She is still eating and acting ‘normal’ but she is very head shy especially around her ears.
The vet has been out to see her and our only option realistically is to book her in for an endoscope to look into the guttural pouches which we are going to do. In the mean time I’m going to apply eye drops to her eye and she is going on oral steroids. From what my vet has said if it’s not the guttural pouches (which we can hopefully treat) then it could be the hyoid bone. Which unfortunately isn’t an option for us to treat.
Is there anything else it could be? That could be an option for us to look into?
Or anything I can do to help? Like massage? I don’t know what to do and it’s breaking my heart.
Thank you!
