So, I raised his dish and started putting a smaller amount in there, and I also feed him half a can of wet food a day and he hasn't thrown up since! *crosses fingers* I am going to try a different brand of food, hopefully natural without any of those ingredients. thanks for your help!
Yes he does eat VERY fast! I use a dish and not a bowl, and I'm thinking of raising it. Would it solve the problem if I found a food without all of those by-products??
I have seemed to acquire the most problematic kitty on earth, but he is so wonderful it's easy to forget Anyway, he is finally over the conjunctivitus, but started scratching himself again and is throwing up his food almost everyday. Other then the throwing up, he behavior is normal. I've been...
I am thinking that herpes is the cause of Oliver's eye problems latley. I have just adopted him, and I'm sure he has been exposed to other kitties with Herpes, he also was a stray for awhile, from what I've been told.
I am going on vacation for a week and I'll be bringing Oliver to a friends...
After I started on the Lysine I defintely noticed a huge improvement in his eyes too. I actually have 1000 MG tablets and I crush them and only give him half of that a day. So he's already up to 500 MG. As of now, they're almost completeley back to normal minus some watering and goo.
I would...
Oliver is finally getting over his conjunctivitus, but in the past few says he's been sneezing a lot more (including a big wet one on my face!) and his nose seems pretty stuffed up. I know it's probably related to a URI that came along with the conjunctivitus, but once again these symptoms...
it seems like Oliver is in the middle of a dream right now, so I'm pretty sure there's no purring going on. But he is almost constantly purring when he's awake.. even when I am putting medicine in his eye..
I finally obtained the antibiotic that the vet wanted me to get, called Terramycin. I also picked up some Lysine and crushed it up in Oliver's water. That way I'm targeting both a virus and a bacteria. Hopefully he gets better soon! Thanks everyone for your help.
I feel like I should take him to another vet, because they haven't done any testing to see if it is either feline Herpes or Chlamydia. They just keep giving me antibiotics and sending me off..! I have read L-Lysine and I think that may help.
Thanks for your help!
So about two weeks ago I noticed that Oliver's right eye was watery and irritated, and when I took him to the vet I was told that it was Conjunctivitis and I was given antibiotic ointment and told to administer it twice a day for a week. After diligently applying it to Oliver's eye, I stopped...
So I went to the vet, and they gave me a cream/gel to put on his eye twice a day for a week. He said that is was probably just an infection and that it will most likely clear up. But if it gets worse it could be Herpes or Chlamydia.. which was really scary!! I have only heard him sneeze two or...
I just noticed it today, he is squinting and it's watering a lot. I looked at it and doesn't seem red or irritated and everything else about his behavior is normal.
Almost two weeks ago I took him to the vet because he was scratching his neck to the point where the fur was gone. The vet told...
