Pearl's Not Feeling Well

[krazyaboutkatz]

Hi, as some you may remember Pearl was very sick not too long ago. She has some kind of rodent ulcer thing going on and it's an immune deficiency disorder. Her bottom lip is swollen again and she was doing well until this morning. She's now lethargic, won't eat, and may also have a fever. I have a vet appointment at 4:20pm today and I hope that they'll be able to help her and that she's not as sick as I think she is. I'll update you as soon as I know anything. Please send some positive thoughts her way. Thanks.

Thanks everyone. When I got home she was much more alert than she was this morning but I could tell that she still wasn't feeling well. Her left third eyelid was showing and she was very squinty eyed with this eye. It also looked a little bit cloudy to me.

I took her in and her temperature was normal even though she felt very warm to me. I also noticed that her lower lip wasn't as inflamed as it was before. The vet was more concerned with her eye so he put some stain drops in it so he could look at it better. It's not scratched but very cloudy so she's on some eye steriod ointment 3 times a day for 1 week. She's also on clinsol liquid 1ml 2 times a day until it's gone.

Since she's been having her breakouts and now eye problems, he suggested that she be tested for felv/fiv again just to make sure she isn't positive. Her results were negative so this isn't the problem. If her eye doesn't improve in a few days or becomes much worse then she'll have to see an optomologist. Hopefully she'll recover quickly. She ate all of her dinner tonight so this is already great news.

Thanks again for all of your get well wishes and positive vibes.

Now I also need some positive vibes sent Starr's way because he's been having some problems eating his dry food and some of his gums are very red and inflamed and he has horrible breath. My vets office is still running a 20% off dental cleaning special through Dec. so I made an appointment for Starr to have his teeth cleaned on Dec.26th. Hopefully everything will go well and he'll start eating better. Thanks in advance.
