yesterday's condo

Nova is doing ok.. She DID say hi to me this morning when she saw me.. not much opinions since but we were all up until about 4 hours ago.. so everyone's pretty tired.

Hitch is having a problem with his eye :(. For the last day or two I have noticed it watering and him having eye goopies but late last night we were playing and I saw the inside corner.. very red.. later in the night he started having problems keeping that eye open.. so we all stayed up late and hung around with him.. thought maybe it would get better this morning but when I woke up I looked over at him and it is much worse.. called the vet right away.. we're going in, in 1.5 hours.. amazing for them to sneak us in.. saturday is by far their busiest day..and that clinic is wildly successful.. rarely can you book a regular appointment in the same 2 week period.. at least that's what I hear them say on the phone when I'm there.. my kids seem to always get in pretty quick.. and they usually have to have specific staff lined up or external doctors brought in.. man I love that place.

Anyways.. I'm of course worried.. Hitch has CH.. so gets hurt all the time and is tough as nails.. isn't a complainer AT ALL..and he's starting to fuss a little bit.. he also has a rare immune system disorder.. so the idea that it's not just something in his eye and possibly an infection has me just wrecked.. aside from worry about the scary stuff.. the trivial also has me worked up.. I'm worried he's going to have to wear the cone.. I can't even imagine a CH cat functioning wearing a cone :(..

Blah blah ramble ramble.. trying to kill time by whining..

Hopefully a little AB ointment if needed will clear up his eye. We're thinking about you Nova so be sure to let us know how it goes.

Sending healing vines to Hitch! Poor guy. Hope he feels better soon.

Miss Nova has a very pretty am number though considering all that's going on. Hoping all goes well at the vet so you can come home and nap! sounds like it was a long night. {{{Dawn}}}

Re: 4/24 - Nova - AMPS=117

Well we are home.. it wasn't my imagination.. somethings definitely going on in that eye.. it's all swollen and all the white parts are red and yucky.. we did the test for (I can't remember the official name) herpes eye ulcers.. and they couldn't see any.. his immune system wack job is some rare disorder, we narrowed it down to a list of like 30.. and stopped torturing him after that.. and "possibly" he has herpes in addition to it.. his flare ups are a lot like herpes.. and we treat those with L-Lysine and NAC (N-acetyl cysteine - improved his quality of life by like 100x when I tracked that one down and gave it a shot).. but some things are different.. aaanyways..

Can't see any sign of herpes.. (though the green snot that resulted was mildly entertaining ;) ).. so his doctor is thinking it might be allergies, some random infection or the ulcers just aren't showing up yet.. he's on drops (tobradex) every 8 hours.. and going to start the L-Lysine up again in case it is a herpies flare up.. if it's not looking significantly better by Monday then back to the vet to do the ulcers test again and probably blood work and who knows what else..

Think my head is going to explode from the medication schedule for these 3 right now..

Thanks for all the support guys.

((((Dawn)))) Do you have a Florence Nightengale outfit to wear? You are going to need a whiteboard with the times for everyone's stuff.....you poor baby! I hope Hitch's eye gets better with the drops and whatever you do over the weekend.
It would be so much easier that way...my heart goes out to you and all you do ....
meanwhile Nova is looking good...can she come to the party tonight at ours? It's for No Reason..we all need to get together for some giggles...hope your day is better from now on.... :YMHUG:

I bet the med schedule is crazy making. I've been so lucky to have mostly healthy critters but when I've had more than one on meds at a time they've been easy BID dosing I can't imagine three on such crazy schedules. Hope the drops and Lysine help!
 
Re: 4/24 - Nova - AMPS=117

It takes me a long time to scroll through all the "alarms" in my phone.. all the alarm names are which medication and which cat it goes into hahaha.. I have a list on the bins in the kitchen with each cats medication that I double check at "medication times".. and every time right before I give a medication.. I double check that I've got the right medication, and the right cat.. I heard people use iPhones to call people.. but I think that's just a rumour..

I joked with the doctor.. "is there a medication delivery method I'm NOT giving to any of my cats right now?".. she laughed.. thought about it.. and said "suppository".. will count my blessings on that one! :)

Nova would love to come to the party tonight! What time can I get rid of.. er I mean.. send her over? :)

I just poked Tugger's ear and shoved him out the door so he's on his way already.
