    Dealing with eye problems for nearly 4 months...rubbing eyes makes them worse?

    Hi everyone, I'm not sure if it's against the rules to revive this thread...but we desperately need positive vibes for Finley. :( Since I last posted he has deteriorated considerably.

    Experience/advice for treating cat for mycoplasma felis?

    Hi everyone, We've had our cat Finley for 2 and a half years now. He's a wonderful cat and we love him to pieces. Shortly after we got him, we started having a problem with eye swelling that has continued throughout his life. As he grew older it kept continuing in the same cycle: one or both...
