Hi Ardy.

I have not been on line lately and I was very sad to hear that Tigger 
has gone to cat heaven.  He sounded like a really cool cat, lots of 
personality and mischevious.  I love those kind, they always keep you 
smiling.  You did your best to help him.  I had 12 cats diagnosed 
positive about a year and a half ago and since that time I have lost 
7.  Two just died in April, one had FIP and the other just layed down 
and died. Both were unexpected, I only saw signs something was off for 
about a week.  I have 2 more that started problems last week.  One is 
16 and had a seizure, was blind for a day, and now is not eating well. 
She also has a heart condition.  I am waiting to see what happens. 
The other one is not eating much and is not herself.  I just had her 
to the vet 2 weeks ago for blood work and it was not too bad.  We 
talked about putting her and my other 5 year old on Winstrol and I am 
waiting for the vet to get back to me with his plan.  My 13 year old 
positive has a heart m
 urmur and we are thinking of not putting him on Winstrol because it 
says to use with caution in cats with heart conditions.  His blood 
work is not too bad either although he has gotten thin even though his 
appetite is good.  And my other positive also has FIV and is starting 
to have UTI's but is fat and seems ok at this time.  If winstrol 
increases appetites, that would not be good for him.  I did not do 
blood work on him yet and am not planning to put him on Winstrol at 
this time.
I bought a childrens book titled Cat Heaven that I read every time I 
loose a cat and it makes me feel a little bit better.  Makes me smile 
and cry. I do belive animals go to heaven and Pope Francis says they 
do.  I need to believe this.

Jane

It is possible he has uveitis which is inflamation of the eye.  It is 
very serious and painful, can cause blindness, and is treated with eye 
ointment with steroids.  Research it on line, you can find pictures. 
The eyeball can even become swollen and bulge.  It can have a brownish 
spot on it. Cloudiness is probably an eye ulcer. I have had 2 
positives that have had this and it will clear up with treatment  but 
it can come back.  They were put on metacam for the pain and also for 
the inflamation along with an ointment containing cortisone.  It is 
serious.   Follow instructions for how often to do the ointment.

Recently, I have been putting coconut oil on a swab and jut dabbing 
it in the corner of my eye when it itches.  My cats eat it all the 
time so it shouldn't hurt to put a small amount in your cats eye. 
would oothe it.

Hi Bob

As I am not sure exactly what is wrong with your little boy's eye, I 
can only suggest a more general approach. I have had good results 
with rinsing a cat's eyes with daily contact lens solution. The 
solution is mostly just saline but it usually contains very small 
amounts of disinfectants so as to disinfect contact lenses but is 
safe to put into your eye. I will rinse a
