But first, an uppiedate - Kirin still has a cold but I've been giving him L-Lysine with every meal and it seems to be a little better. His breathing isn't as labored though it's still not totally clear, but I think he's on the road to recovery.
Sushi, however, now seems to have a problem. I didn't notice anything earlier today, but this evening he took a nap on Samantha's pillow. In his sleep he stretched out and his head hung over the side of it so he was sleeping on an incline, on his head. A few minutes after he woke up, I was in the kitchen and Josh asks me to see if I thought Sushi's left eye was swollen so I looked at it and it was. He had green gunk in it and a film over it. Josh and I cleaned up the gunk and it doesn't look *as* swollen but now it's weeping constantly (looks like he's been crying out of that eye - the fur all around it is wet), and he keeps licking his paw and rubbing his eye and when he's not doing that, he's squeezing it shut so he looks like a pirate. Do you think it's just irritated because it was the prominent side he was sleeping on when he was upside down? The other eye is fine.
Anyone with lots of kitty knowledge, I'd really appreciate hearing what you think. Josh is working from home tomorrow so if need be...
