Jake, the Pirate

MsKC Jul 16, 2006 02:53 PM

Well, Jake has been to the vet twice in two days. He was keeping an eye closed (arg matey!), so we whisked him off to the vet, where they thought it was an eye infection; we received drops to administer three times a day. But today, his eye is all cloudy and inflamed and he had to go back. After an hour of tests, they think it is a virus and we have to "massage" gel into his eye and the covering membrane to get rid of the inflamation until we can go back tomorrow.

I am upset - my parents used to say that when we got hurt it hurt them, but I don't think I understood till now. I hate that they are going to keep messing with my baby and don't know what is wrong. Poor Riker doesn't understand why his brother doesn't want to play.

Anyway, long post, but I needed to vent.

Hope the cat show was fun and that you are all having a wonderful weekend.

Oh poor Jake...

Hopefully it's nothing major...maybe his brother just gave him a good swat in the eye when they were playing...and his cornea is scratched...

Alastair got bit in the ear when he was a kitten and it caused a pretty bad ear infection...he still walks with a slight tilt of the head...

I hope it gets better quickly...for both your sakes...I know they don't really cooperate with the eye creams!!!
