Corkscrew is sick

[Uabassoon]

I took Corkscrew back to the vet this morning. His eyes looked better, the vet said some irritation was normal because the ointment has a steroid in it but he said after a few days his eyes will get used to it. It turns out Corkscrew has a strain of the Corona Virus. The vet said that Corkscrew is looking really well and he feels that he can shake it off. He's eating VERY well and he's still very active. So there's been no weight loss or anything and the vet said he's looking better then he did when I brought him in on Tues. I'm taking him back in 10 days for another checkup then about two weeks after that he'll get some more blood work to see how the virus is doing.

You might want to invite Gabe over. I hear he likes beer too. Don't know if he has a particularly favorite brand...oops, now I remember he's just a working boy from Joisey and probably prefers good ol' Pabst Blue Ribbon over that fancy Corona stuff. But he seems an adventurous sort so I'm sure Corky could get him to at least try some of the Corona. What do you think SAS?

I'm glad he's doing so much better and that he'll be able to lick this thing. Please keep us updated.

I'm so glad that Corkscrew is doing better. I've never heard of this type of virus but I'm glad that it's treatable.

Coronavirus if left untreated can cause FIP. But my vet seems pretty sure that Corkscrew can shake it off before it leads to FIP, and I also cought it very early. I'm glad I pay enough attention to my cats to notice the little things.

Corkscrew is finally starting to look back to normal. I stopped giving him the eye medication because everytime I gave it to him his eyes just got worse and worse, once it even got so bad he couldn't open his eyes anymore. He finished off his first bottle of antibiotics, and has now started a different antibiotic and I think this new one has so made so much difference. Today his eyes finally look normal I can't see the third eyelid anymore. And I've finally figured out the best way to give him his medicine, the new antibiotic is clear and very runny so i just mix it in with his canned food and he doesn't seem to notice the difference. He'll be going in for another blood test soon to see if he still has the coronavirus, hopefully it will come back negative. I'm just happy he's back to his old self.

Yeah! I'm so glad to hear that Corkscrew is doing a lot better. I hope that his blood test comes back negative for the Coronavirus. All fingers and paws are crossed here. Good luck.

We sure have had a run on sick kitties, haven't we? Good luck to Corkscrew, and his little eye issue. No more scary eye drops for him, huh?

[gini]

Yes, we have had a string of sick kitties! I am also saddened by the losses of such young cats.

Hope Corkscrew is all better now!!
