Hi guys, Well, Smookie, the kitty I adopted last month had to go to the vet a couple of weeks ago because I thought she had jabbed her eye on something or one of my other cats had attacked her. But the vet said that she had a corneal ulcer, and now he thinks that the other eye that she already lost was not due to an accident, but to feline herpes and a severely ulcerated cornea. Since she was a stray, and the eye was so bad, they didn't know what had happened, and so they just removed the eye. But now he thinks it's feline herpes, which I know nothing about. I read Rachel's post on conjunctivitis, and will pick up some L-lysine as soon as possible. Is this a tasteless powder that I can sneak into wet food? The doctor gave me two sets of eye drops, one that is an antibiotic, and one that I believe he said was sulphur. I don't have it here at work to see the label. So far, they aren't working so great, and Smookie is a real pain in the butt to give them to. She thinks she is a jackrabbit, and kicks my boobs to death if I don't wrap her up in a towel, which hasn't always been available since I've been down after foot surgery. Any advice other than the L-lysine? Anyone have experience with corneal ulcers or feline herpes, good or bad? I don't want her to lose her only eye to this virus. What is the average life span of a kitty with feline herpes? Can they live a long life with this virus?
Thanks! :) Wendy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
