Sky & Ziggy's Annual Exams & Starr's Urinalysis: Ziggy's Latest Update 7-3-07

[Laura's Babies]

Xalatan is what I am using for my glaucoma and be warned.... it stings when you first start using it so she will not like it. It is suppose to be kept refrigerated until it is opened and then can be left at room temps.

Glad to hear Star don't have UTI!

I will try some of that cat attract stuff since Amy has started peeing at the front door too and I had thought of putting a litter box there so I will try that also. If I catch her fixing to do it and scold her, she won't do it again for several days but then always goes back. I am sure that Boo's being her just has her upset and that is the reason she is doing it. I plan someday to take the carpet out of the living room but just not right away, if this keeps up, I will have to do it a lot sooner than planned.

I hope Ziggy's eye is ok!
I'm glad you have such a great vet!
Good luck to you!

Oh Tracey, it seems like it's always something for your little ones. I'm so sorry. I really hope that it is nothing with Ziggy's eye and you don't have to continue to use the drops - wow, what a price! You and your furbabies deserve a long healthy spell for a change.

Great news about Starr not having a UTI and the weight gain. I'm sure you were very happy to hear no infection but it would have answered your pee problem better. Hope the litterbox plan works, fingers crossed. Did your vet have any comment on Storm and Clomicalm?

By the way, I love Sky too.

Hey there!

I'm yet another fan of Sky. So glad he's still laid back.

So glad Starr's doing so much better per the test results.

Wow. That's scarey re. Ziggy's eye. Sending ~~~ healing vibes ~~~ to the pretty girl. How very odd that the medicine could change her iris' pigmentation, or did I read your post too quickly? Gads, the price of that medicine's a shocker. {{{gentle hugs to you}}}, I can't imagine the stress you must be feeling right now.

It sounds like progress is being made on the litter box front.

Things are well here in general, although a rogue shower curtain got frisky and needed to be disciplined here yesterday. Cassy kindly relieved me of the nasty duty. It's such a relief to have such a thoughtful cat around.

Oh no Tracey I sure hope things will turn out OK with Ziggy. I'm glad to read the others are doing so well. Please keep me posted on the updates on Ziggy.

Hi, things are going well with the new litterboxes except that they didn't seem to want to use the one in the hall bathroom so I moved it to the end of the hall in front of the hall closet. I'll just need to find a different place for the one by the front door later on.

I was able to get a drop into Ziggy's eye last night and it seems to be working. This morning I noticed that the pupil in her blue eye was very small while the pupil in her brown/bronze eye was much larger but then a while later they were both the same size. I haven't seen them the same size since sometime in March. I hope that she'll continue to be a good girl and let me medicate her. She didn't seem to react to the drop so I don't know if she felt any stinging from it or not.

Thanks again for all of the replies.


AmberLee, yes that's what it said.

Lori, we didn't talk about the clomicalm because we were talking about my peeing issues. I know that she wanted to try this doseage on Storm for at least 4-6 weeks though. Last night Pearl and Storm were both licking each others heads which is great sign that he's much calmer.

Laura, you can buy cat attract at Petsmart. I think that they're the only retail pet store that carries this.

I'll keep my fingers crossed this will work! I'll keep watching for updates.
