    I'm glad for the diagnosis and treatment. Prayers that this heals well and quickly and doesn't spread to any of the other cats. God bless you, Donna, for getting this checked out so quickly.

    Conjunctivitis is common in multi-cat households according to my "cat bible" Cornell Book of Cats. I'm just going to have to take my chances and pray none of the other kids get it. His eye already looks better!

    There was no question that he needed to go to the vet. It's a good thing I have a pet sitting job coming up next week or I'd be royally screwed. Between my car and cat health issues, my savings is now wiped out. *sigh*

    UtchieB is one sick little boy. He started sneezing yesterday so I called the vet. He's now on a course of Ammoxi. I've also been giving him Lysine for his immune system. I feel so bad for him. He's never been this clingy with me. He's resting under the heated throw.

    Poor Utchie! Maybe the pinkeye gunk is draining and making him sneeze. I hope feels better very soon!

    Stay snuggled under the warm heated throw, sweetie, and sleep.

    That is just not nice having pinkeye AND a cold. Poor Utchie. He is so lucky to have a loving and caring mama. Give him a little cuddle from me and a medicinal kiss on the top of his little head.

    He's really not doing well.

    The pink eye is now in his left eye as well and he's been drooling a lot. I'm going to give it another 24 hours to see if there's any improvement. If not, I'm taking him to another vet on Thursday.

    I'm so worried. I've never seen him like this before. I've been force feeding him filtered water to keep him hydrated.

    Can I ask you guys for prayers for my Utchie???

    Oh, I was hoping to come back to this thread to better news. I hope UtchieB starts showing improvement soon. I know how stressful it is with a sick baby.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    He seems a little better this morning. His eyes aren't running so much and he's eating up a storm. His nose is still stuffy. I'm going to bring him in the bathroom while the hot water is running so he can breathe in the steam and break up the junk. He takes all his meds just great!

    Right now he's asleep on the heated throw. I love this boy!!!!
