Phinehas and Malachi health issues - confirmed diagnoses: herpes virus in the eye

[krazyaboutkatz]

Karen, I'm so sorry to hear this. I sure hope that he didn't eat some of the cat toys that I gave you. I warned you to be careful with the toys that had elastic attached to them so hopefully that's not it. You may want to have your husband look at all of the toys to make sure that nothing is missing or has been bitten off.

Hopefully the vet will be able to diagnose his problem easily and that it's nothing serious. Adobe is a wonderful place and everyone is so nice and caring there. I'll keep him in my thoughts and prayers. Please continue to keep us updated about him. Try not to worry too much and take care. (((HUGS)))

I don't think he ate anything weird and all the toys are put away unless I get them out to play with him so he couldn't have ingested any elastic. I'll have Sreedhar check anyway, just to be sure.

I really hope it's nothing serious. I have an appointment at 11, so I'm going to go with my husband since he can pick me up here at the office on the way to the hospital. I have never seen Phinehas like this. I sure hope it's nothing serious. He was doing so well just a day ago!

Be sure to have the vet to also look at his teeth and gums. If there's a problem there this could also cause drooling. Good luck.

Karen, I'm sorry to hear about Phinehas, but try not to worry too much, it may be something the vet can clear up in no time - hopefully! Could it be that he needs a diet with more fiber in it?

I'm sending lots of good thoughts to Phinehas, and to you.

If there is diarrhoea I don't think there is a real obstruction. I would rather think that he shared one germ too much with Malachi and may now have an infection.
I hope the vet sorts it all out and Phinehas will be ok soon.

Thanks for all your thoughts, guys. I'll be sure to update as soon as I get back from the vet.
