my cat has had bad eyes for the past 5 yrs !help

[jennielynn1970]

I was going to suggest the warm wet washcloth on the eyes as well. I have an FIV+ kitty and he gets gunky eyes, gunky ears, you name it.

I also had a foster kitty who had issues because he had the condition where his eye lashes turned inside to scratch his eyes. He had surgery but it wasn't done really well, and he still had issues with his eyes getting gunky and irritated.

I'd definitely seek another opinion about your cat. I know money is tight, I understand when you have medical problems yourself, but I also know that I wouldn't want my pet to keep suffering. I'm sure he's extremely uncomfortable with his eyes constantly being all gunked up, and you did say it seemed like he was in pain.

Can you see if there is a vet in your area who does payment plans, or one that is not part of a huge group of vets. I've found that the smaller vets don't charge as much, and many times they can work out payment plans and things like that, where as the large vet "companies" can't/won't allow it.

I hope you can find some help for your kitty. Please don't stay away just because people were hesitant about your motives. We do get a lot of "trolls" here on PT who just want to cause trouble. Hope to hear of some good news about your kitty. Please keep us updated if you can. Take care of yourself as well.

What about some chamomile tea? It is very soothing. I know it helps Morgan's eyes, but I mostly use it on his after they have been scratched and are red and runny. I don't know how it would work for a virus. But I know it can't hurt.

i only came back coz a "generated " email from pet talk said happy bday! so ill take it....

i didint no anything about the insincerity of peope here....i was just getting a suggestion.i didnt mean by any means that i was looking for money.

I did buy that ointment for squeekers and it does seem to be helping!!his goop has gone away and the redness has gone too....hes doing much much better!! he is still squinting.though but i cant tell its alot better.i s there n e way that i can post a pic of him here?

..i will try all of ure suggestions too..the cam tea sounds good too...what about green tea. i just bought that for myself.

it s really amazin how when i brought him to the vet back then he had worms and the infecion..and they gave him a dewormer and eye drops , tx and injection...well the worms came back in the next 3 weeks and the infection never went away.
.

When i went to the pet store..they dont sell pets but they no alot about animals, i bought dewormer there and gave it to him the worms never came back after one use.!! then i just bought that ointment and so far so good!!
