Thanks for the update, Sally. I've taken Gentamicin drops myself -- but I was
allergic to them and they made my eye very red and itchy. It's a good drug
though (I am allergic to EVERYTHING - including cats....have benedryl - will
travel). Sounds like you are doing right by Junior. Here's hoping the very best
for those dear babies and for you.

Subject: RE: Sally's update
Thanks everyone for all your support. This group makes me know I am not
alone in my time of need. I am so sorry to hear about the recent losses of
Hertzie, Bubba, and all the other precious babies. I finally got a call back
from the vet's office and got a new prescription for Junior's eye which is
better but it is still inflamed. It is Gentamicin drops. I am not familiar with
this. I hope I can get the drops in his eye. I realize that my vet is a GP
but is the best I can afford for Junior. It is a very busy practice and the
people working there really care. I feel that boils down to the fact the Vet's
must really care as well. The receptionist commented how good I was at taking
care of my cats bringing them in every week for their immunoregulin shots and
getting the others vaccinated. I do know Dr Staunton took home the papers on
the Alferon. Junior and Tiny are due for their immunoreg shots January 5th. I
will see what she thinks about using alferon in addition to the IR. Tiny is
still asymptomatic. I am hoping he may test negative at a later date. If
received all his vaccinations last week with no adverse effects. They even gave
him FeLV vaccine. I will most likely not vaccinate Junior for anything. He is
already current on rabies which doesn’t matter since he does not go outside.
Thanks Sally Hi Sally, Thanks for the good news about Junior's
improvement. It's so frustrating to feel like you're bugging the vet for
answers. Most of us have been there. When that happens to me I become a
polite, apologetic, squeaky wheel until I get some attention. Is this a GP vet
you are seeing? I'd ask for a referral to an Internist. You might not be
getting responses because your vet doesn't have the answers you need and they
are too busy to research for you. Nina Sally wrote: > Junior's gingivitis
