Re: Poor Arthur

Time for a wee update

Arthur has been back and forth to the vets the past few weeks, each time very poorly, overnight he would just go down hill

We have had every diagnoses under the sun, the best?? being a wasp sting

This morning we were advised that perhaps we had done enough

This afternoon we saw a specialist

Until his ulcers clear again they cant be certain but its looking to be feline herpes or if not something to do with the inner eyelid being the wrong shape

So he's home again, he has his own serum removed from his blood to drop in his eyes, antibacterial drops and lubricant to be put in every two hours around the clock and he's back under house arrest

If its Herpes then he will get antiviral drops forever, if its inner eye lid its an op

Either way what ever it is, it means its manageable

Poor wee mite has had such a rough start in life he deserves every chance

I have to admit to getting pretty pissed off with the vet this morning saying what they said.

Re: Poor Arthur

The main thing is that it can be managed Missy. I was expecting the worst when I saw your update. Poor thing though, he must be sick of it and sick of the vets too.

Re: Poor Arthur

Missy I feel so sorry for you. Having dealt with sick cats over the last 40 years I know how upsetting it is.
I have never had one with eye problems, so I can offer little advice, but I know how much he means to you so I will been keeping my fingers crossed for a good result.

Re: Poor Arthur

Re: Poor Arthur

Poor puss. Missy I feel for you - I really do. There is nothing worse than watching a pet suffer and feeling helpless because they cannot say where it hurts most. Cats are very resilient though and they are also very intuitive - Arthur will know that he is loved and that is so important for a good recovery.
