Re: [Felvtalk] Uneven pupils and Shmoo
Hi Margo, Thanks for this info. I apologize, but he could have been sedated, I'm not sure of the difference so I could be mistaken in my description. We were able to 'wake' him afterward but he was very groggy for a good part of the night. I'll ask about these drugs. I'm also gonna take him with me to Krammer's appointment tomorrow (different vet) to ask a few more questions. Thanks!

Re: [Felvtalk] Uneven pupils
I have given it to several of my cats from time to time (Clindanycin). I didn't know it was bad tasting. My cats tolerated it very well. And with mouth sores, I administer it on the side of the mouth with the sore. When cats have mouth sores, a liquid works better than pills. It hurts less to swallow. I give them liquid vitamins, plus a solution of pedialyte and liquid fish oil at the same time. On Sat, Dec 21, 2013 at 2:03 PM, Margo wrote: Clindrops is likely Clindamycin.

It is good for mouth issues, as well as abcesses, and some types of pneumonia. One I try to keep on hand.

Still a little labored in breathing but not as bad as before the tap

was so glad to see him purring and stretching happily. But he mostly
relaxed/laid around today, unlike his 2 active siblings. Vet said the
fluid
will likely refill in a few days so we just spend as much time with
him as
we can while we wait. I'm unable to search the archives right now but
isn't
there anything else I can do to make the fluid stop? Didn't expect to
lose
another one so soon after Terence. He's so innocent.

Ember

taken her to a specialist, but we ruled out toxo. At times, the vet

Hi everyone,
I just noticed my 10 year old FeLV cat, Krammer, has uneven pupils.
He had
a winky/weepy eye a couple of weeks ago for a few days, where he had
some
drainage and one eye was squinty with a smaller pupil. It cleared up
on
it's own after a few days (I give him lysine). A day or two ago it
came
back, this time the other eye (if I recall correctly). The affected
eye is
squinty, third eyelid shows a little, and one pupil is small while
the
other pupil looks normal. I'm not sure if this is just a herpes
flare up,
or something else. He first tested positive about 6 months ago. I
found the
term anisocoria while searching this list archives. Gonna research a
little more.
Second question:
One of my 8 month old FeLV kittens, Shmoo, began having what I would
call
labored or heavy breathing 2 days ago. I can see his sides and nose
moving
as he breathes. He is a little less active, and last night he
coughed/wheezed a little and his paw pads, usually pink (he's a white
cat),
looked slightly purple, like he's not getting enough oxygen. He
looked pink
again this morning. Gonna take him in, but wanted to mention it here
too in
case anyone has input.
Thanks,
Katherine

Re: [Felvtalk] Stomatitis
Pookie had his mouth sore on the side down next to his tongue. The vet saw it. I didn't. They won't let you look becasue it hurts for them to open the On Sat, Dec 21, 2013 at 6:27 PM, Jill Eisenbraun wrote: Hi Jen, stomatitis isn't limited to older cats at all! It can have many causes, but cause can be hard to pin down. It's an immune problem and also is more common in FIV+ cats. However, other cats can and do get it. Some vets feel that it may be caused by calici virus.I have one who had severe stomatitis and did end up having a full mouth extraction done by a veterinary dental specialist. Very expensive, over $4,000 and believe me I am going to be paying for that for a very long time! The bad smelling breath is one sign. It's really bad, too! Try looking in the mouth, if it is stomatitis you will see really angry red inflammation, sometimes it's worse in the throat area. Also wanted to add my two cents on the small pupil thing. Sounds a lot like Horners Syndrome, which is usually linked to an ear problem. The very same cat of mine that had the stomatits also had Horners last summer. It really isn't harmful and usually clears on its own in a few weeks. I treated Stacy's ear infection with OTC medicine and it went away.

Re: [Felvtalk] Clindamycin Uneven pupils
I can attest to it's truly foul taste, but YMMV. I tend to avoid anything but buprenorphine near a lesion, so use the opposite side, but can't cite anything that supports that action. Just seems that a sore mouth would be most painful if opened near the source of pain, but again, just my inclination. I know when I have a sore at the side of my mouth, I move that side as little as possible G.
