    Hey sweetie, hope your eye feels better very soon! I am going to visit my opthalmologist tomorrow too so I will think of you!

    I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope it's nothing serious and the vet can fix him right up. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way.

    He slept in my arms all night and he didn't eat all day!! Now that is unusual, which means he doesn't feel good. I was able to get him to eat. Don't want his blood sugar dropping. Just waiting for the vet to open at 8.

    He's got a severe case of pink eye. The vet did a dye test to make sure there was no corneal scratch. His eye was so swollen, the vet had to separate the third eyelid with a Q-tip. There was bloody tinge which indicated imflammation. He's now on Neomyacin ointment 3 times a day for a week.

    I feel so bad for him. Vet says it's contagious to my other cats. That bothers me, since I can't isolate him from my other cats. Kinda difficult when you live in a a two room studio.

    What I can't believe is how fast this came on! Less than 24 hours. Vet said that's how severe it was.

    So...$100 bucks later Just glad he'll be okay.

    Glad you figured out what it was and it's not a scratch. I will be hoping the other kitties do not get this. Fingers crossed!!!

    Gentle hugs to UtchieB!
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I hope he'll recover quickly and that none of your other cats will get this. Good luck.
