Hi, the quick rundown is about a month ago we took in a stray cat, got him back to healthy proportions and is aged at about 3 months and growing fast.  I noticed yesterday that our baby is eating like it's about to go out of style and an getting a bloated belly after he inhales his food.  For...

Hi all!  I was the one that posted a week ago regarding the oozy-eyed kitten.  It turned out he had blocked tear ducts and an infection.  The vet gave him a wash, drops and amoxicillin by mouth.  That was Thursday.  Today, I noticed his poop was not as firm as usual?  It wasn't watery but it was...

He is due back in 2 weeks.  He just went for his first shot-cocktail and second dose of dewormer so he's due back for a follow-up.  I hope she does that as well.  I've never had to ask so far. Should I continue with the saline for today just to be sure?  What does the tea do?  Same thing?  Is...

And as quickly as it came, his eye looks perfectly normal and clear and void of any swelling today.  I guess maybe he had something like a hair in there and I flushed it out?  I assume I should still request a feline herpes test at his next appointment if it's not standard in the bloodwork...

Thank you!  I know it doesn't seem to bother him but it bothers me seeing his eye so goopy.  Glad it's getting better though. Or seems to be.  He's still going to the vet though because I don't like chancing it.

Derelict, you are so right.  Please mind the mess in the background but this is my little feline prince who, for the first week, would sleep on my shoulder with his face buried in my neck and now he's too big.  They grow too fast. :(

I did read about the L-lysine briefly.  Do I get that at a pet store?  Is the eyewash special?  I've been using a diluted saline wash and his eye has improved a lot since this morning both in swelling and leakage.  It's got a tiny bit of white goop and not as frequent now but still noticeably...

Awww that is so sweet!  It's amazing to watch him grow so fast.  The vet is waiting on the blood tests so she can do everything together, namely FIV so would that be a blood test? Funny enough, I've been flushing his eyes (don't want to risk the other eye getting gooped) with a cool, very...

Hi all!  Very new here and a fairly new cat owner.  I guess I should give background before I go into my question. About a 3 weeks ago, my boyfriend and I came across a shivering kitten in an a construction site, leaky eyes and heart-breakingly thin and dirty.  He insisted we take him in.  No...
