A few weeks ago I picked him up and by his backside/tail area was something that looked like a granule of rice. I had remembered my grandma's cat had tapeworm and when she'd sleep, theyd come out and dry up. I said to my bf, "I hope he doesnt have tapeworm' and he replied "Nooo, where the heck would he get that" and I never saw anymore.
Anyway, Thursday, Moglies third eyelid has been up halfway over his eyeball. I picked him up and he had some glitter on his face from rolling in Christmas balls so I figured he got some glitter in his eyes. Then last night, his eyes got worse, hes sneezing, making a funny sound with his mouth, constantly licking of his paws, rubbing his face, biting his back.
I was up all night with him by my pillow praying he'd make it through the night cause I had no idea what was wrong with him.
At 9 I ran him to the vet this morning. She thinks he has a respiratory infection. He has a fever, and she got to look at his eyes.
I have an immuno booster and antibiotics for him, and she hands me a tapeworm dewormer and says "Tapeworms can also cause the third eyelit to well up like that too, so after he starts feeling better, put this on his back just in case"
So now we think he had the tapeworm, and picked up a little virus and the tapeworm reared its head because he's ill.
Please pray my liitle man gets better.
Hes still playing and eating and the doctor said that was very good.
