Ask you vet about a dose of Buprenex.....It is aspirin free and
stronger, It takes a very low dose be careful about giving the Asprin
2 days in a row ,,,,,you see it accumulates and causes the problems,
They do not clear it from their system like dogs and people,
Buprenex is a VERY safe and effective pain killer,,,,Some of the more
old fashioned not up to speed vets are unfamiliar with it,,,you can
do a bit of educating..

I did not know how bad his eye hurt until he got home. The vet
mentioned that aspirin was good for the inflammation. I am not sure
why he did not just tell me to give him some. Although I do not like
giving a cat aspirin I did give him about 1/3 of a baby aspirin last
night. Best as I can tell he can probably get another dose tomorrow.
I think when my sister's cat Fluffy had a blood clot many years ago
she was given aspirin daily. I remember how much pain she was in. It
was like a miracle how quickly the aspirin took away the pain and
eventually dissolved the clot. She had partial paralysis of her hind
legs due to the clot. He actually had his eye open today. It still
looks bad but I think it is better than yesterday.
Junior slept all day. I gave him L lysine 500 mg twice today in his
baby food. He did not seem interested in eating anything else. His
weight is good so a few days off his food should not be a problem.
Tiny is a real trooper even after all the vaccinations he got
yesterday. He was a little less active today, but he still played
and tried to sneak outside. He is the only cat I know who does not
play 'catch me if you can' when he gets away. All I had to do was
call his name, and click to him and he came right to me. He really
hates being inside all the time. The birds would not use the feeder
I put outside my window. It has been there 3 weeks. It shouldn't
have taken them more than a week to find it. I moved it today to the
side yard. More cover for the birds on the side of the house. I was
hoping to give Tiny some entertainment since his favorite sport was
catching yes and eating birds. I did hate him doing that.
The rest of the cats are doing well. Hopefully we caught the FeLV
before it spread to them. Several of the cats had the same or more
exposure than Tiny did.

Can the vet give you some meds for pain?

At this point his eye hurts so bad I can't get near it. The vet did
not give me anything for that reason. He did say there was a
medicine we could have used but because it was too difficult for me
to administer it he went with the oral antibiotic instead. I do have
erythromycin ointment that I had been using but can no longer get in
his eye. He is sleeping peacefully right now. I am hoping a couple
days on the Clindamycin will see some improvement in Junior. He is
eating baby food with the Lysine and vitamins as well as a squirt of
Nutrical. He has been eating well up until this latest setback. I
am thinking it was this eye bc it is the one that had nerve damage
from the accident. The other eye is not affected. If it were he
would not be able to see.
I had another cat that had to have his eye removed after an injury
did not heal. He let me know that it was hurting. After a month of
treatment there was nothing else to do but remove the eye. However
he did not have FeLV.
Any other suggestions?
