well I'm sure most of you remember my posting about Patches' eye problems, it turned out to be a herpes virus, not actually herpes but that type of virus. the vet said it was unlikely that the other cats would get it, and I believed that, since he and Charlie had been practically inseparable for 7 weeks. well it must have a LONG incubation period, because, Thursday night we started seeing a discharge in Charlie's right eye. took him to the vet on friday, and she said to give him the same medicine as Patches was on, 4 times a day just like Patches. Then last night (friday) we noticed Louise having trouble with her right eye, she was keeeping it half closed, no discharge though. well the discharge started today. and I called the vet, they had a couple of emergencies and there was only one vet there today
so they told me to take her to the emergency clinic, instead of going all the way over there, I took her to a different vet, not permantly changing, but for today. so she is on medicine too now. Emma and Muffin are the only ones without it, and I am hoping and crossing my fingers that they won't get it!
friday when I was there I was just talking to them about how nice it was that everyone seemed to be ok now, and we could stop being regular visitors there, that we could just get on the yearly visits, even then it is 3 times a year, Dec. for Muffin, Aug. for Patches and Charlie, and March for Emma and Louise! almost
another $100.00 today! and I made an appt for Louise for Monday with her regular vet.
aaahhggghhh!!
