Aroara's saga continues...update #77(with graphic picture)

When it rains, it pours, huh? I went through a time like that w/Yodie. First it was the ear polyp, then her eye, then her ear again. Of course, each time I had to take her in. It was never anything that I could just treat at home. I felt like I had the Six Million Dollar Cat. Well, look at it this way, she'll either run out of ailments or you'll run out of money. LOL Seriously, I hope it's something simple this time. Prayers for you and Aroara....

hahaha...I like that she'll run out of ailments or I'll run out of money. At least the vet is very good about not charging for an office visit each time I've had to take her in. So it has only cost me for the medicines that she's had to take. Of course that was all because it was "hole" related. We'll see what they do today...because

Heigh Ho...Heigh Ho...it's back to the vet we go! (I just talked to them, and they said to bring her in.)

The latest pics of her hole looked a lot better, I thought. It didn't seemed as red or as swollen as in the previous pictures - so that is pretty positive. Hopefully the eye thing is something simple and she will only need some antibiotic eye drops (like Catty1 said). I bet everyone at teh vet knows you on a first name basis , since it has become a second home to you. I am hoping that the hole will continue to improve and her eyes will get better as well. Positive thoughts and prayers coming your guys way!

Conjunctivitis. Don't ask me how. He said viral and that it could possibly have come from the wound. It is in both eyes, but the one that has it worse is the eye on the other side of her head. Good news was that the hole has healed well and doesn't need more ointment. Now I get to put eye drops in both eyes 3 times a day. And since I can't help myself, here are more cell phone pictures.

Sorry it is blurry.


This is what the eye lid looks like when you open it up.


Another hole picture from today.

WOW. That head wound looks almost GONE!

I hope the eyedrops help - and that Aroara runs out of ailments for a good long time!

Goodness gracious, Ms. Aroara! I hope this is the last illness or injury for a long time!! You and your meowmy need a break!

I'm sorry to hear that both of her eyes are now infected. Hopefully they'll clear up quickly. At least her hole is healing up well. When it rains it pours.
