Hope Baggins is feeling better Carl

my old boss was pretty good at that type of thing aswell C, infact even when the owners didnt particularily want to see he's press gang them into having a peep as it was so "interesting"

Oh i actually came on to ask how baggins eye was doing

I missed this yesterday, Carl, but glad to hear all is well. Phew!

At our vet, they must get a lot of folks like you (and me

) because they always show the accompanying humans the view down the 'scope or whatever, unprompted. This is one of the many things I like about them.

I must really annoy the vet, I take a real interest in whats going on and why.

so the Vet had to keep elbowing your head out of the way in order to get an occasional look down the scope himself ha ha

glad to hear Baggins is back to normal

I had something like that done when i was at primary school, i had flourescent bogies and everyone thought it was soooo cool

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #19 on:** July 19, 2007, 14:16:07 PM »

the fluoroscene the vet used it cool stuff carl, i always reckoned it would be excellent to use if dressed up on halloween night.

the only thing is it should end up coming down your nostrils (often used to test if the tear duct is blocked, if so it wont be able to filter down the nose) so anyway green glowing stuff out yer nostril wouldnt be such a cool look probably

(oh and if you didnt notice this dont panic..cats are pretty good at licking before you notice)

I'm like that too, luckily I've not been told to butt out yet

I call it taking an active interest

You're right Lynn. It was fascinating, he put the drops in Bagginspants' eye, shone the light in and you could see the tiniest white speck toward the top of the pupil, obviously big enough to let an infection in though.

worthwhile vet visit then, a small scratch to the cornea can lead onto an ulcer if not treated.

Good boy for being so brave about it and tell that bilbo to cut his nails i think

carl (billy and baggys dad) · « **Reply #15 on:** July 19, 2007, 09:41:32 AM »

He's fine with them - I wrestled him to the ground (he's a big fella) and his mum applied the drops. As soon as we let him go, he'd forgotten everything and he's on to the next thing. He's awesome, such a cheerful cat. Bilbo bears a grudge for ages

Thanks for the wishes

clarenmax · « **Reply #14 on:** July 19, 2007, 09:16:18 AM »

Aw, hope he's OK with the eyedrops

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #13 on:** July 19, 2007, 08:11:30 AM »

Fingers crossed with the meds.

carl (billy and baggys dad) · « **Reply #12 on:** July 19, 2007, 08:09:57 AM »

I took Bagginspants to the vet - by we got home from work his eye had returned to normal but I thought it wise to take him anyway. The vet examined his eye after applying some orange eye drops, and noticed a pipoint trauma on his pupil, so it's a course of eye drops to fight any opportunistic infection and all should be well

Thanks for the help everyone

carl (billy and baggys dad) · « **Reply #11 on:** July 18, 2007, 09:56:39 AM »

Baggins probably did have something in his eye, but Bilbo's attempt to get it out with the fat end of his Wiggly Waggler have exacerbated the problem

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #10 on:** July 18, 2007, 09:40:19 AM »

cheers but i'll have forgot again by next week

and yes if it was systemic it would affect both eyes, You've quite clearly been spending far too much time wedding planning and choosing music and the boys feel abit neglected .. so bilbo just has to stab baggins in the eye and hey presto immediate attention

carl (billy and baggys dad) · « **Reply #9 on:** July 18, 2007, 09:36:34 AM »

King Bilbo has one eye, Baggins has the full complement.

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #8 on:** July 18, 2007, 09:34:08 AM »

I always get em muddled carl, it is baggins with the 1 eye or is that bilbo ?

carl (billy and baggys dad) · « **Reply #7 on:** July 18, 2007, 09:33:14 AM »

Vets at 5.30 tonight it is

I tried bathing it Blackcat - it did seem to ease it somewhat, but I'll take him anyway to be sure. I'm a bit of a hypochondriac by proxy when it comes to the boys

EDIT: You're right Lynn, I thought it may well be something in it. If it was dehydration or systemic would it affect one eye only?

Thanks very much

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #6 on:** July 18, 2007, 09:26:51 AM »

If his proper main eyelid is partially covering the eye aswell carl then i'd be thinking there is something there irritating it, whereas in dehydration etc it looks like the 3rd eyelid is coming over (in actual fact thats due to the eyeball sinking into the socket)

Personally i'd be going to the vets..ha ha he does like to keep you busy !!

hope its ok though, may be a grass seed or such like or a scrape on the cornea.

blackcat · « **Reply #5 on:** July 18, 2007, 07:30:14 AM »

think i would try a cotton ball with some warm slightly salty water on it, he may simply have something in it which is irritating it a bit. If it keeps up after you try that, then a trip to the vet as he may be coming down with something..

Hippykitty · « **Reply #4 on:** July 18, 2007, 07:27:53 AM »

With some cats, the third eyelid shows when they are tired or relaxed, but if this isn't normal for Baggins, would still get him checked, just in case.

carl (billy and baggys dad) · « **Reply #3 on:** July 18, 2007, 07:13:31 AM »

Thanks Hippy

Its odd - I've just been playing with him and he looks fine, but now hes sat down again it's showing.

Hippykitty · « **Reply #2 on:** July 18, 2007, 07:09:12 AM »

If he was tired, this could just be relaxation.

On the other hand it could signify a temperature or dehydration.

A visit to the vet is wise, especially if his third eyelid doesn't return to normal when he's more active.

carl (billy and baggys dad) · « **Reply #1 on:** July 18, 2007, 06:38:20 AM »

Hullo hullo

Just got up this morning and noticed Baggins' third eyelid half closed on his right eye. His eye is half closed over the top too. I'll telephone the vet as soon as they open to get an appointment for tonight, but does anyone know what might be the cause?

Thanks for any advice
