Re: Poor Arthur

Aw poor Arthur Missy I hope his eye recovers but if it doesn't cats manage well with one eye .

Re: Poor Arthur

Thank you all so much for your posts, means a lot to me


I don’t do humans so well but my animals are something different, I get teased chronic for talking hens to the vet


I know cats do well with just one eye and I know my vet won’t be doing anything that isn’t needed. I will go with their advice. ( they have looked after so many of my animals and ultimately me)

It’s just it’s My Arthur.

If it were my grandchild I’d be more pragmatic

Not that I’d wish that on him but with a human I can deal with it,I’m strong and would be the one drying everyone else’s eyes

But my pet , my Achilles Heel. I’m in bits even though we haven’t even gott to Tuesday yet

I’m a wuss

Re: Poor Arthur

You're not a wuss.
If anything happened to my cat I'd be gutted.
He's my little buddy!

Re: Poor Arthur

There must be lots of wusses on here in that case.... me included.

Re: Poor Arthur

There are a lot of owners of pussies too Missy, and I am sure we are all hoping, along with yourself, that Arthur comes through this safely.

Re: Poor Arthur

My mother had a black and white cat called Bimbo! He only had one eye as the other one had got infected.
When my mother died, l took him in. He only ate chicken, crushed beef crisps and baby rice.
Having only one eye didn’t seem to affect him at all.

Missy, I hope the vet can save your cat’s eye.

Re: Poor Arthur

Thankyou for all the kind words

Arthur has been going mental wanting out so has taken to attacking my feet whenever he can

Hes being very good about accepting his eye drops and painkiller, I swear I have shares in Metacam as it seems thats all I buy from the vets. I have bottles of it here already, but nope - different one for cats then dogs, but the dog one was suitable for the duck


The weeping from the eye is now clear coloured so fingers crossed it is healing

Hes sleeping laid up against the fire at the moment, his favourite spot.

Re: Poor Arthur

I'm pleased Arthur is recovering and is being good in accepting his medication, Missy

Re: Poor Arthur

That sounds more hopeful, Missy.
Hope it heals well and saves his eye after all.

Re: Poor Arthur

It does doesn't it.

When we first got our kittens the girls eye was scratched during a play fight and her eye turned sort of opaque. We feared the worst but within a few days, it had returned to normal.

I am always amazed at how much cats can endure and I have my fingers crossed for little Arthur.
