This morning when I woke up, her right eye was swollen almost shut, and it was all goopy and runny and red I panicked, and brought her in to the emergency animal hospital right away. She was still eating and drinking and acting totally fine, and we had an appointment for 8:30am tomorrow, but I didn't want to wait and mess around with it, since it's her eyes and she's SO young.

The vet said she looks great, and it's conjunctivitis from a mild upper respiratory infection, he said it was probably brought on by the stress of changing environments. He said that he didn't think she needed oral antibiotics right now, since her lungs sound fine, but if her nose gets runny, or she starts coughing or anything, he will prescribe her some. So, I have medicine to put in her eyes twice per day, and hopefully this clears up soon! I keep having to hold her still and clean the goop out of her eyes so it doesn't accumulate - she hates it, and I feel so awful for her.

I hope the other kitties don't get this too. I've spoken to most of the adopters and none of them mentioned any sneezing or conjunctivitis or anything like that, which is a good sign.

I told the vet that she had received all of her vaccines almost 2 weeks ago, and he said this isn't something that can be vaccinated against - it's just a cold, and it happens often to young kittens when stress lowers their immunity to things. I hope she feels better soon.

I think we're going to call her Linea, but maybe spell it differently, so people don't pronounce it "Linnia", or think that we're naming her "line". Maybe "Linnayah" or "Linayah" - any other suggestions? We're still considering other ones, like Vala, and Harmony, but I decided against Maia since that is my friend's kittens name, and I don't want to be a copy cat (pun intended!)

Please everyone send a quick prayer out for our little munchkin, and hope that she feels better soon!
