Pearl's Not Feeling Well

[krazyaboutkatz]

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.

Sorry to hear about the sick kids! It sounds like Starr has gingivitis or even a decayed tooth.

Boy, these fur kids really keep us on our toes, eh? I thought Nakita was getting better yesterday, but she's still not eating and I have to syringe feed her.

Hope everything works out Tracy.

Poor babies. I'm sending many good vibes to Pearl and Starr. All of you will be in my thoughts and prayers. I hope things get better for all of you soon.

Come on Girly Pearl, feel better baby girl.

Prayers rising.


Starr, us Meezers have notorious poor toofies.
Let them clean them up and you'll feel better.

Love,

Thanks everyone. Pearl's left eye still looks terrible but she's been much more active today and also very vocal. I can already tell that she's feeling much better. Luckily I'm off until Jan.2nd so I can watch over her and give her the meds she needs. I know that Siamese cats are known for very poor teeth but I hope that in Starr's case it's nothing serious and that he'll feel much better after his cleaning.

Oh KAK, I'm so glad to hear that Pearl is feeling better and I pray that her eye will heal up very soon.

Poor Starr and his toofy problems. Are you giving him any wet food so it won't bother him too much to eat. Poor baby.

Prayers on the way that both your babies have a full and speedy recovery.

Thanks. Yes, Starr gets some wet food with dry mixed in. The problem is that the more wet food he eats, the more runny his poops seem to be. I even changed his, Pearl's, and Ziggy's food to California Natural Chicken and Rice Formula in both wet and dry. It doesn't have all of the preservatives in it like a lot of the cat foods. I guess he also has a very sensitive stomach or maybe even IBD.
