Thanks. Yeah the vet feels like it is systemic rather than the injury itself since that has healed. Poor baby. She pulls away some when I give her the eye meds but not as bad as when she's getting the liquid antibiotics shoved down her throat. She acts like I'm killing her then. So I don't think her eye is extremely painful just judging by her reaction to the eye meds. Haven't seen her pawing at the eye or anything either. I hope she doesn't lose the eye. He talked about sending her to a vet opthamologist (sp?) if it's not better when he re-checks her in 10 days.
“I am not interested to know whether vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn’t….the pain which it inflicts upon unconsenting animals is the basis of my enmity toward it, and it is to me sufficient justification of the enmity without looking further.” – Mark Twain Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2012 13:14:42 -0700 From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Uveitis Oh yes..but in the rescues or just neutered, any type of stress would lower the inmune system so oportunistic infections like eye infections occur. Uveitis is more serious, it is a symptom not a disease. And it is very, very painful. The eye is reddened as irritated and it is swollen, might or no have a discharge. Last FeLV+ I had got uveitis in her last days when she was very ill, I put her down shortly after because she was in so much pain and had gone blind, so as for her I didn't do anything. I had a FIV+ that had uveitis on and off in his last month, he had other infections so was treated for that and with Interpheron to bring down the swelling. My cat that had glaucoma also developed uveitis and had to have surgery. Like I said it is a very painful condition, I suppose Interferon can do something, abx would only act against infections, which she'd be prone to if she has FeLV..all the best to your lil' girlie Marta http://homelessnomore.webs.com/ From: Lynda Wilson <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, March 12, 2012 12:09 PM Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Uveitis Aw! Poor kitty! I hate to hear of this! I've actually had it myself. In my personal experience, it was painful and I was very sensitive to light. I had steroid drops but don't recall the name of the RX. It sounds like you have enough meds to hopefully improve the redness and irritation to her eye. I wish I could tell you more because you are always so helpful to me. Keep me posted ~ Best wishes too!!

My FeLV kitten had a scratch or something in her eye but that is healed but her eye is still really red and irritated. The vet suspects her FeLV is causing the irritation and redness to continue. Right now she's taking Baytril and Clavamox, Interferon Alpha, and Flurobiprofen drops and Terramycin ointment in the eye. “I am not interested to know whether vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn’t….the pain which it inflicts upon unconsenting animals is the basis of my enmity toward it, and it is to me sufficient justification of the enmity without looking further.” – Mark Twain _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list [email protected] http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list [email protected] http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list [email protected] http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
