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

[kittykatharine]

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.

It was 2 weeks ago today that she had the lump cut out. It has healed very well and looks like a small flesh wound now instead of a hole. The fur is growing back in so it is hard to get a picture of it. Her eyes are doing well. I stopped putting drops in the eye that wasn't as bad yesterday. The eye that was the most swollen is looking very nice today. I didn't see any pink or swelling in it this morning. My mom had said that when she had pink eye, the doctor told her to put drops in one day after the pink had gone away. The vet only told me to do it until it cleared up. Since it isn't running anymore either, I think I will stop putting the drops in tomorrow. I'm going to try to keep her inside until Monday. It is getting harder and harder. But she is doing very well. Thanks for asking.

Glad she is healing up.
