Eye Update!!

Well we went to the University of Minnesota today to have Chloes eye checked and the news was much better than I thought! They think she has the herpies virus in her eye.....So we were sent home with some meds in the hopes we wont have to have a bunch of tests done later. But the optometrist was pretty optamistic about the diagnosis. If this doesn't start showing signs of improvement then they are going to treat from Claymidia which too is treatable. They also found that she has a 2 very small cat cateracts one in each eye probably been there since birth. :eek::eek::eek: I would have never known... So anyway they do amazing things up at that place I was totally impressed. Lets just hope we are on the road to recovery so I can have my pretty blue eyes back without swelling and discharge!! she has wonderful eyes!!

Hoping for the best for the lovely meezerette, Chloe.

I hope that things will go well for her with the new meds.:) That's interesting that she has two small cataracts in her eyes. Did the vet say if they'd continue to get worse or not? I wonder if they're affecting her vision at all. I sure hope that she'll recover quickly.

We did ask about that and it was very shocking considering she is only 3yrs old :eek::eek:. But the doctor did feel that this will not get worse as time progresses. Thank goodness! We were just so concerned it was going to be a really bad thing..... We are very greatful to have a good doctor for Chloe. I am feeling so much better since the appointment.

I have also tried some of the Venison and pea food with Chloe in the hopes that she will stop chewing on her hair. It so could be a stress thing also cause the vet visits have been contineous for about 2 months for this poor little gir. I cannot put into words how good she was in the car.... Its a 1 1/2 to get to the U and she did so good! I thought for sure she would be having issues with us but of course her sweet little nature came out immediately once we got through the door. No grudge. She even came up and lied on me awhile last night even after all the termoil this little honey has been through she still is such a sweet little lady.

But what can ya say it come with siamese personalities...I think after all of the stuff we have been through with Chloe my bond with her has gotten so stronge. She normally is a BIG daddys girl but she has found a liking for her mama while she hasn't been feelin well.... And that I enjoy HUGELY! I understand why I love this breed. I love all of my kitties but my meezers are just sooooooooooo loyal.:love::love::love::love::love::love:

Aww, I hope the treatments work well. Blue eyes - light-colored eyes - are more prone to certain ailments than darker eyes.

That sounds promising! I hope the new meds work and you can all have some peace of mind and bright blue eyes to look at :)

Chloe is a lovely girl and I hope the medicine will help get her eyes better, so she doesn't need any more vet visits! I'm sending lots of good thoughts. :)

Sure do hope that the meds work for Chloe. Holding positive thoughts here.....

Thanks everyone for all of the postive thoughts they are greatly appreiciated. We are still waiting for one of the meds to be shipped so it hasn't changed much yet....As far as appearance. But she seems much more comfortable. So we will keep our fingers crossed that shes on the good road to recovery!! Thanks everyone!!

oh, that is wonderful. Nothing feels better then when your results are better than you thought. Hopefully the meds will have your kitty feeling like herself in no time. That is so interesting about the cat cataracts, I mean it is so hard sometimes to know what is up with our kitties, and I used to not even think that cats had chronic health issues like people, but they do. Have a great 4th of July weekend together!:cool:
