Thank you all for the information. I was really worried about it. I can now put it to rest. The kitty is doing well though he's hiding under a chair and only comes out to eat and drink. Of course, he's using his cat box. He is so cute and purrs when we scratch under his chin even though he is

Thank you for the information. I am taking Smokey back to the vet on Wednesday. I will ask about a herpes virus. It does appear that with the eye ointment I've been giving him he's getting better. I love to hear about these guys that are six and seven years old. It gives me hope. It really is
