No eye drops, as her eye tissues are looking better. He felt like they are on the mend on their own and the Lysine would be enough. He said her eyes show no sign of corneal lesions and advised us to just watch her for pain or cloudiness in the eyes.

Update: took her back to the vet and he stopped the ointment and prescribed lysine for a possible FHV diagnosis.

Here's a photo from tonight.

Her eyelids are not as red as they were, but I would have expected them to be closer to normal by now. I'll call the vet on Monday. Her original symptoms were a runny eye with some greenish grayish discharge. It was worse in the mornings. I think the discharge has cleared up, but her eyes are...

Hi! My 3 year old kitty was just diagnosed with conjunctivitis on Thursday and prescribed erythromycin ointment twice a day for five days. Today is day four and I don't see a ton of improvement. Do any of you have experience with this? Should I take her back to the vet on Monday? We are...

PS - I tried Feliway in the past, and my kitty immediately started hissing when introduced to the room with the diffuser. I'm assuming since Feliway mimics the calming phermones of cats, Tonks thought there was another cat in the room. She definitely is an interesting kitty that has kept me on...

Thank you. Tonks is quite at home in her carrier with her favorite mat and blanket. She sleeps there a lot. The vet gave me a dose of Alprazolam. The vet techs said they used to use Ace, but it just disabled the animals motor skills and didn't calm the animal or reduce fear, so now they use...

I just want to give you all an update. I've spoken to two other vets (one of whom has served as Tonks' vet in the past), and they both agree the right thing to do is to put her to sleep. We could put her through extensive testing, but both vets agree that would be traumatic to Tonks, and may not...

She has always been very shy and prone to hiding and even shaking when frightened by a loud noise or a situation. In the last two years though, the fear seems to have gotten worse (with no change to her environment to cause such). The unexpected aggression showed up in the last year and a half...

These are all good suggestions. We will discuss Tonks' issues with some additional vets before we make our decision. Your words have brought me comfort, and I know no matter the outcome, we will know we have tried our best to give Tonks a peaceful, comfortable, happy existence.

I appreciate the kind words. I adopted Tonks as a kitten, and have had her all 7 years, with the exception of the last 9 months at my parents' house. We've kind of been operating on the "she's fine 90% of the time" mode the last year or so. Unfortunately, her attacks are so severe and...

I think I've made the tough choice to put my kitty Tonks to sleep. She's a seven year old rescue, and is shy, but very affectionate most days. About once a week she has a "spell" that causes this normally shy, sweet kitty to become extraordinary aggressive. It is completely unpredictable. Her...

Good point about the liver. I'll stop the medicine tonight. Thanks for the link for the food!

Thanks for the replies! She is beginning to sniff at her food, so I'm taking that as a good sign. I'll try warming her food up to entice her a bit more. She's not going for any treats at all. She will run over and sniff them, and then she reconsiders and runs away. I plan on reducing the Xanax...

My 5 year old spayed kitty was prescribed Xanax by the vet for fear aggression issues. I started medicating her on Wednesday. The first doasage I gave her was waaay to much (she became very hyper and drunk). Per the vet's orders, I reduced her dosage the next day (Thursday). The lower doasge...
