Corkscrew is going to the Whitecoats tomorrow. *updated*

I have an appoitment for him at 3. His eye was looking perfect for a day or two and today it looks worse than it has, hopefully it isn't anything too bad and it can be cleared up with some antibiotics.

Update: We just got back from the vets, the said his eye was a little swollen. They did a stain test on his eye which was really cool to watch, they put a liquid in his eye then used a blacklight to see if there were any scratches on it. They didn't find any, so the vet guesses that it's related to his corona virus. Corkscrew got sent home with some antibiotics and an eye ointment. So hopefully everything will clear up soon. Other than his eye the vet said that Corkscrew looked very healthy and that he was a very handsome kitty :) Oh, and Corkscrew also seemed very happy that the vet no longer needs to stick a thermometer up his bum because they got new ones that take the temp. from the ear.

Probably just a bad case of conjunctivitis (pink eye) like we get! Some stronger antibiotic eye ointment and possibly an oral one along with it, should do the trick! Huggies for poor Corky!;)

Poor guy. I had hoped his eye was like Scout's and no white coat visit or meds needed.

Hope you feel better soon Corkscrew!

That was a fast update - thanks! Glad that it is nothing serious (abrasion or scratch) and hopefully the medicine will have him fixed up in no time. I have to say , based on his comments, you have an excellent vet with a very good eye for adorable orange COTD quality kitties:D I like him!

If Corkscrew weren't being so cranky because I have to give him medicine then I might be able to get a picture of him :) I'll see if he will be cooperative soon so I can get some pictures up.
