The male cat has an eye infection. I've been caring for him since I moved into my current neighborhood, and have noticed eye discharge, usually from the left eye, on/off. I could also see part of his third eyelid and sometimes it looks red. Last month when I noted the discharge, I started to mix lysine powder in his food. I did that one or two times a day and the discharge seemed to have disappeared. But now it's back and I'm beginning to think he might need some medication? I have some fish-mix but I'm not sure what he has, if this antibiotic is appropriate for whatever he has. He's fixed, as his ear is tipped and he's about 6, according the ppl who live on this block.
The other cat is a stray cat. She's very young, not fixed, and was abandoned. She recently had three kittens. I managed to get one adopted. I'm still working on catching the other two, as they both have homes waiting for them. I want to get her fixed once I get the kittens to their permanent homes. Right now the issue is that she has bumps on her ears. They're noticeable bumps. There is no scabbing or bleeding or noticeable irritation.
I wish that I could get both of these cats adopted also, as I'm not going to be in this neighborhood for long. I'd take them in myself but I have four cats. I'm going away to medical school soon and I won't even be around to help my sisters care for our cats, let alone the stray cats. I live on a very anti-cat block. Many times I have to sneak around to feed these two cats and at odd hours, i.e. middle of the night, before the sun comes up. I'm moving out of this neighborhood soon and I feel terrible leaving them behind. When I met Tuxie, the male cat, he was all bones.
So I need tips from you guys.
What should I do about Tuxie's recurring eye discharge?
What could be the bumps on the female cat's ears?
How should i approach this issue of finding the adult cats homes?
Tuxie is very sweet, non-aggressive, non-hissy, and very shy and scared of ppl.
The female cat is all black (people for some reason don't like black cats; one of her kittens is black and I had to search high and low to find him a family). She's sweet, likes ppl very much and not shy or scared. Many don't like her because she asks everyone passing by for food, and rubs on their legs, and crowds their path.
Thank you for bearing with me. Any help is much much appreciated.
Here are two pictures of Tuxie I took this afternoon. The brown under his mouth is food-he just finished eating.
