I want to share this since I've gotten so much valuable information on this site...
This morning I noticed a small yellowish discharge (sort of like pus?) on the corner of Ginger's right eye. A little concern but didn't want to make a big deal out of it, I cleaned it and leave for work. Told hubby what happen and ask him to check her eye again before he leaves. 2 or 3 hours later he called & told me he didn't see any discharge but her right eye seems red & swollen, and she doesn't seemed comfortable. I decide to call vet and she managed to squeeze me in @ 3:20. I went home to pick her up, notice even more pus on corner of her eye and that side of her head is swollen. After some questions and a wellness exam, vet said it was definitely bacterial. She administer Fluorescein Stain, send me home with an antibacterial ointment to put in her eye every 8 hours, if I can.
Because of the irritation of the eye and the ointment, she keeps her eye half open. Poor kitty
. When we came hom the first thing she did was sleep. Her brother seems to know she's not well as he stays close to her the rest of afternoon & night. The ordeal didn't affect her appetite.
