I'm glad he's feeling better! Metacam is controversial, but I've used it in the past as well with good results and no long term ill effects.

Actually he has been doing well for over two weeks. After a 1 month course of Baytril, I put him on Metacam for pain and inflammation. What a difference a week can make. He is like a kitten again. I never thought I would see him feeling so well. I did not want to say anything before now. I wanted to make sure it was real. He stays in Eric's room, because he does not want to be around the other cats. He now likes to venture out a bit and explore. Ok for the real good news, his vision is better. He can see close up again. Eric discovered this and had to show me. Now I am sure it is not great vision, but I guess the inflammation was causing part of his blindness. Junior is good therapy for Eric. Eric is suffering from some yet undiagnosed neuromuscular disease. Probably autoimmune in nature. Lately he has been in a lot of pain and is very week in his legs. Junior provides comfort and support for Eric while I am at work. I guess you could say he is a therapy cat, at least for Eric he is. I just thought I would share the good news. I am having problems with the PC cutting off on me after a few minutes. I have not been able to keep up with the group news. I hope every one's kitties are doing alright. I pray for all of them Sally, Junior, and the rest of the gang. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- No virus found in this incoming message.
