Hehe! Well, this girl has chronic severe eye drainage that has to be cleaned daily and sometimes eyelid infections, ear issues..tooth issues...beautiful coat (that is fine as silk and has to be combed out daily)...and now a heart murmur. She's also front paw declawed and has severe fear of other cats. She's been in my house almost a year and still only comes out from under the end table to eat.
My vet thinks there was something wrong inside Morgana that couldnt' be detected by him..and he's a very, very good vet. She was just in his office 6 weeks ago for a sinus infection and he didn't detect anything serious. On 1/23/07, TenHouseCats <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
