My kitten Hobo went to the vet a few days ago, because her eye poped. That's right... I said Poped. The doctor said it was because a peice of glass... just a small mineute granule, was worked into her eye when she was just a week old. It's been slowly working it's way until about 5 days ago it went "pop".
I was asleep when it happened, but when I got up in the morning, and rolled over to give my little hobo a hug (like I do every morning) she let out a painful scream/growl/chirp. Well I opened my eyes and what do I see, but her eye compleatly shut ((I had never seen it like that before)) and the milky white liquid coming out of one corner.
As I said before I took her to the vet, well more accuratly the Humane Society, and told them I didn't know what to do. They told me to sighn her over at they would do what they could to help her.
after almost a week of worrying, bugging the people at the shelter, and many many tears I finaly got her back.
But now I'm even more worried. I have to give her medication every day (Chloropalm for thoes who need to know), and I'm worried. She has stiches in her face from them removing her eye. On top of that, she also has the mark on her belly (well the almost slice mark from a knife), and the tattoo in her ear. She leaves her belly alone, almost ignoring it, but she keeps trying to rub her face up against things like she used to do before I brought her to the HS.
I need to know if my worries are unfounded, and if not, what should I do to help her speed to recover? On top of that what do I do about the stiches and wounds? Because I feel almost as if I have to be so careful with her. Almost like she's a delicate dried flower... that's 1000 years old.... with rain ouside.... and a doorbell.
Great now I'm rambling.... Sorry.
Anyways, if any of you can help me aleviate my fears... or some advice on what to do i would apreciate it...
