Oh yeah, I jumped too soon when Crystal was a baby. She arrived here with something which "may" have been ringworm. It did not luminesce under black light as it should have, but it LOOKED like ringworm. So the vet had me treating it as such. Problem: it was on the front top of her head. Trying to shampoo it and put on the ointment or salve or whatever it was, the vet told me to be CURE NOT to get it in her eyes.

Well, a 2 pound kitten has NO concept of staying still while you wash her umpteen times a day. And the thrid monring, I got the shampoo in her eyes, and she squeezed them shut.

Let me tell you, I was at the vet's office with her so fast I don't think the FAA has figured out what that missile like object was YET!

By then she had her eyes opened,was blinking, they were NOT tearing, she was looking all around her normally. The vet looked a them with . . . black light? . . . and said they looked OK. But since I was there, we may as well be safe and flush the eyes with saline solution.

If I thought washing her was hard, I soon discovered that was a piece of cake compared to flushing her eyes.

Forty five dollars later, the vet told me I probably overreacted and could have waited 2 or 3 seconds to see if her eyes cleared, if she showed pain, rubbed them, or something before I took her in again.

You cat is GORGEOUS!! What a ham for the camera.
