Meet Tom 
Day 2 on Tom Tom came into care with persistent nasal discharge and nosebleeds that just wouldn’t resolve. He was diagnosed with Aspergillosis — a serious fungal infection requiring invasive surgery and ongoing medical treatment.
His procedure involved surgical access into his sinuses so the infection could be cleaned and treated directly. The recovery on this isn’t going the greatest yet, with lots of facial swelling and a long road ahead.
June 2, 2026 – This handsome, sweet guy was picked up from a rural pound showing symptoms that had us worried we might be facing distemper. Thankfully, that wasn’t the case — but Tom’s journey was far from over.
What happened?
Tom struggled with ongoing nasal discharge, nosebleeds, and just seemed generally unwell. We tried antibiotics and completed X-rays, hoping for answers, but nothing improved. We knew he needed specialist care to figure out what was really going on.
The diagnosis
After extensive testing with a veterinary specialist, Tom was diagnosed with Aspergillosis — a serious fungal infection caused by Aspergillus fungus.
Treatment for this condition is complex and invasive. In Tom’s case, surgeons needed to create surgical openings into his sinus cavities so they could directly access, clean out, and treat the fungal infection. It’s a delicate procedure followed by ongoing medical treatment and monitoring.
Tom has been through so much already, but he’s proving every day just how resilient and lovable he is.
