Thanks everyone - means so much.

Every day she seems to be dong somethng that she used to do. Today when I got back from my mum's she was waiting behind the porch door for me cos she'd heard my car or seen me from the window sill.

I can tell she is still having probs seeing out of it properly from the way she jumps up and off the bed but she's still shoving her head in my hand for me to give her head a good rub

The blood has actually moved down and I can see part of her eye at the top today. Hopefully by the time I take her to see the vet again on Monday she will have improved a lot more.

Mary and my darling little Bonnie Bum xx

Warmly echoing what Gill has said. Really pleased to hear that Bonnie is feeling better - and she must be to let you touch the side of her head with her poorly eye, bless her. Sending more cuddles to you both - very importunt, cuddles.

So pleased she is feeling better and long may it continue

maryas · « **Reply #25 on:** October 20, 2011, 00:33:49 AM »

Thanks a million everyone

All these hugs and kisses etc. for me and Bonnie is great. Must be working too cos about 10 minutes ago she jumped up on my desk and walked on the keyboard - she must've wanted to read your messages

She's even been rubbing her right side of her head on my for me to give her head and ear a rub on the side of her bad eye so that must be a good sign. She's had 2 pouches of Gourmet and about 20 Dreamies so eating habits are almost back to normal

Poor little Bonnie. It sounds as if she is having some amazing nursing care from you Mary. You are doing her proud and I hope she will be feeling much better soon. If it is her teeth then it is probably better to have them out so it cannot happen again as you say.

Janeyk · « **Reply #15 on:** October 19, 2011, 09:50:12 AM »

Poor Bonnie and you're not daft Mary, I'd be just the same

I'm sure that she appreciates all your care and that she's always there for you too. Hopefully she's picking up a bit now, give her a snuggle from me please

jezebel · « **Reply #14 on:** October 19, 2011, 09:29:50 AM »

Aw, what a horrible time you've had.

It sounds like Bonnie's perking up so here's hoping she's on the mend and you no longer need to worry!

Dawn F · « **Reply #13 on:** October 19, 2011, 08:29:59 AM »

I was wondering why you hadn't been around - hope she perks up soon

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #12 on:** October 19, 2011, 07:26:04 AM »

adding my thoughts for Bonny's recovery, Mary.

You must be feeling exhausted. Hoping they can establish what's causing this.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #11 on:** October 19, 2011, 01:44:07 AM »

I do hope she is Ok Mary

Like Gillian I suspected a detached retina too and yes could be caused by high BP but also by a bad knock, Even relaxed cats can have high BP.

Just sending lots of get well vibes for her

maryas · « **Reply #10 on:** October 19, 2011, 00:32:36 AM »

Your suspisions are 100% correct Helen.

That Saturday night was horrid - I ddin't even get undressed and get in to bed. I was laid on the bed in my clothes all night just praying for 10.20 a.m. to come (the time of her appt. at vet).

No purrs at all when I stroked her and about 1.30 she had 2 Dreamies then another 10 Dreamies and bu about 3.00 a.m. she was eating a little bit of food. By about 4.30 a.m. there was such a massive smile on my face - she was purring.

Next thing I knew my alarm was going off it was 8.30 a.m.

I think the pills will work Denise, if she's no better when I take her on Monday I will ask a load of questions.

Mary

I'm pretty sure he is thinking the antibiotics will sort it out.

Fingers crossed they work for her

Really sorry to hear this Mary

Hope she continues to improve, she's lucky to have you looking after her so well but I suspect you feel you're the lucky one to have her

maryas · « **Reply #7 on:** October 19, 2011, 00:18:58 AM »

Bless you Carol

Gillian I don't think he said that. High blood pressure isn't on my last I mean let's face it, what has she to stress out about? That relaxed she's horizontal

Mary

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #6 on:** October 19, 2011, 00:12:41 AM »

Mary, does vet think it may be detached retina? Did he take her blood pressure? because high BP can cause it. Hope she's ok soon and you - get some rest!

CarolM (Wendolene) · « **Reply #5 on:** October 19, 2011, 00:11:38 AM »

Meant to add I hope she recovers soon.

maryas · « **Reply #4 on:** October 19, 2011, 00:09:03 AM »

Thanks Carol and Denise.

No he can't tell how it was caused really. I suppose when she gets better and it happens again it will be the manky teeth to blame or maybe they will come out before it has chance to happen again.

He did talk to me about the blood and parts of the eye but it's all new to me and I'm pretty sure he is thinking the antibiotics will sort it out.

Mary

Aww poor Bonnie and poor you Mary.

I'm pleased that she's eating better now and behaving more normally. Has the vet said which of his initial 2 diagnoses he thinks is the correct one? Has he done or is he going he going to do any investigations (not that I would know what).

maryas · « **Reply #1 on:** October 18, 2011, 23:42:20 PM »

Had to rush Bonnie to the vet last Sunday morning cos on Saturday night she couldn't open her eye and she was screaming wehn I touched her head and when I spoke to the vet he said he would see her Sunday morning. He gave her a good seeing over and said it was 1 of 2 things - either she had knocked her head on something or it was her 2 bad teeth that were causing it. Gave her 2 injections and some tablets for me to give her and some liquid pain killer to put in her food. I took her back on Wednesday she was opening her eye a little bit more but not eating as much or drinking as much as she usually does. I spent all my time on the bed with her last week and this week and I'm shattered.

Took her back this morning and cos of the build up of blood in her eye he gave me another week's supply of pills for her to take and he sees her again next Monday.

I feel so sorry for her cos her eye is really dark - not showing up as bad as it is in this pic I took of her. She can hardly see out of it and I keep the landing light on at night for her.

She's eating better now and jumping up on the window sill and walking all over my head in bed and cuddling up to me rather than sitting at the bottom of the bed.

I know I'm being daft but I'm laying on the bed with her most of the day and night just having catnaps in case she takes a turn for the worse. I only leave her to go see to my mum.

Mary
