We had a unique case come through yesterday!
Our patient's name is Maci, and she is a 3-year-old Siamese Mix. She was diagnosed with ear polyps about a year ago and has been medically managed ever since. As the polyps grew larger, she became more symptomatic and led the owner to pursue surgical removal.
Here's what we took out! She had the trifecta- a polyp in each ear AND in her nasopharyngeal region, which is in the back of the nose/throat above the soft palate. When we opened her mouth, we could see the bulge of the polyp pressing down. As you can see, the sizes are drastically different, but she was symptomatic even in that right ear with the smallest growth.
The results were almost immediate. Her breathing was quiet, and she was much more comfortable. She still has some healing to do, but we expect her to continue to improve. We couldn't be happier with her outcome!
