Another crazy day! Cinco's Ophthalmology appointment was scheduled for 11:15 this morning, so of course he gives me 67 at 10:45 am! I gave him some MC and hoped the ride and appt., etc. would keep him from going lower, and it apparently did, as he was at 90 when we got home.
Once again, Cinco had to wake the household (meaning me) at 6:45 this morning. I don't know what his issue is. DH said he was actually enthusiastic about his first breakfast for a change. Then he paraded around the house, hollering at the top of his lungs. Sleepy bean hollering back seemed to calm him a little, but he had to get the last word in! :roll:
He complained all the way to the OV office, most of the time he was there (except during the exam, when he was very quiet), and all the way home. The OV said the pressure in his remaining eye was very good, but he has developed FHV (Feline Herpes Virus) in it. So another eye drop has been added to the regime. He looked at the leg and said it seemed to be doing well, since Cinco has finally stopped licking it. He told me that it is very rare for a cat with the kind of lymphoma in the eye that Cinco has to not develop it elsewhere and encouraged me to have him monitored by the oncologist, which is my plan at the moment (we go back the 20th). He was pleased with how well Cinco is doing otherwise - BGs, activity, appetite, etc. Follow up on the FHV in three weeks.
As soon as I got him home and administered more drops, checked BG, etc., he started licking his leg!
:roll: :YMSIGH:
Sasha and Harvey are due for their annual exams and rabies shots, so I've scheduled them for tomorrow. I plan to discuss the FHV diagnosis with their vet, as it is contagious among cats and symptoms can include sneezing,coughing and watery eyes, all of which Sasha has. It's always something!
DH's Ortho appt went well. The knee is much improved and the swelling has decreased significantly. The doctor said she could still feel some fluid on the knee, but it wasn't too bad, and based on our description, it has been draining off itself. She didn't feel it was necessary to do anything more to it. She found no evidence of ligament or tendon damage, so he's good to go. She said we were right to get it checked, even though it was improving on it's own. I feel better about it.
Lots of little tasks to catch up on around the house today, including visiting condos! Hope everyone has a great day.
Sending healing vines to all in need, and hugs to all their beans. :YMHUG:

;-) I don't do anything everyone here on this board wouldn't do. We are all here because we love our furry babies. It's so wonderful to have a group of like-minded people to share this with, to bounce ideas off of, and whose brains we can pick! It makes a difficult journey so much easier. I hope China comes down a little for you (but not too much!) and surfs safely tomorrow.
