Finally managed to talk to Paul (ace vet) tonight.
He fears it may be uveitis. When I got home he seemed better - no staining in the eye, squinting, full of energy. Hour and a half later, his third eye lid was coming back over the eye. @ 2 hours later, when I went to wake him up for some treats - raw minced meat, his eye was worse than ever with the staining.
Have re-emailed the picture to Paul for him to view - we think it is uveitis as he seems to have a headache - was running the car to see if we could find out what the knocking noise is when he came back and kept twitching his head each time the engine was revved.
Currently sleeping which is good as he is resting. Maybe he over did it, when he thought he felt better.
We are now reducing his steroids from next week to half a pill every other day for 2 weeks. Hopeful we have kicked the anaemia in the
never to return.
Pic attached of Kitty. She was a gorgeous cat we came across. Possibly had Bombay in her as had a short nose. We went to see kittens and were asked if we would take Kitty instead. Know why now. We were told that she wouldn't sit on you, wouldn't purr and hated her ears being fussed.
Poor mite, her ears were full of ear mites and she had chronic gum disease. The vets we used at the time were awful with her. Then we were told about Paul. He treated her with so much respect. He said that the gum disease had become so bad that her teeth all needed removing, which, at the time sounded awful. However, after the op, her gums healed up and she ate biscuits with so much ease. Her gums became rock hard.
At the tender age of 12 she was neutered - as never got caught we thought she was done. However we think she was sterile. Such a loving girl. Unfortunately, her best friend in the whole world was killed on the road June 21 2004. She became depressed and didn't want to interact. Almost 4 months to the day after, on Oct 20 2004, we had to have her put to sleep as she had developed a blood clot which suddenly paralysed her back legs. The vet said she would only last a couple of days, at least she had had a dignified end. We had a fantastic 9 + years with her. If her previous owners had kept her, I doubt she would have lived so long.
Then there's Mitzi, totally confident. She was the poor girl run over on the main road that Kitty pined for. They would have washing fights as Kitty had no teeth. They were such good friends. She was just 5 when we lost her. We were totally devastated. Still, we had good times with her & Kitty - they brought so much sunshine into our lives. Especially when Mitzi brought a live rat into the bedroom at 2.30am & it leapt up, over me and ran down my back! I screamed & woke Fil up! Rat caught in Fil's shoe & deposited out the front door, pronto! Nightmare come true for me!
