Hello all! I recently adopted a kitten from the humane society. She's about six months old now, and she's been to the vet, all up to date on her shots and everything. About a week ago, my roommate accidentally kicked her in the nose, pretty hard. Of course she didn't mean to, but Maude (the kitten) took off running and hid under a chair. I coaxed her out, and she had a tiny bit of blood coming out of her nose, but after a few minutes she was fine and playing and running around again so I didn't think to much of it, other than to keep an eye on her for a while. Now, about a week later, she started to do a little sneeze thing every once in a while. It's not a full sneeze, just a little "tiff" is kind of what it sounds like. Then, I noticed one day she had a little what looked like a booger in her nose. She rubbed against my hand and it came off and her nose started bleeding again. Not terribly, just a little, like before, so I just am assuming that was a scab. NOW I just noticed about yesterday, her left eye is watering. It's just a clear discharge, she doesn't squint, it hardly seems to bother her at all. I'm just wondering if I'm being paranoid or if I should take her to the vet. It's really not in my budget (I'm a college student) but it can be figured out if it seems to be the best option. I just definitely can't afford an x-ray or something like that...I can hardly afford a normal visit. Other than those few things, she seems 100% fine. She still plays, runs around, eats normally, etc.
Oh! One other thing that I'm not sure is contributed or not. A few days ago, I came home from work and went into my bedroom where her litterbox is (in my closet). She proceeded to look right at me, and pee on the floor. I called my vet right after that and they said to try a few behavioral things, and that seemed to work, but I can't tell 100% since I only noticed it when she did it right in front of me. Granted, there could have been a few factors that made it behavioral, such as her box hadn't been cleaned in 2 days because I wasn't home and we just recently got a new litterbox with a cover and a flap (which I have since taken off) however she had been using that for about 3 weeks before. So I just really need some guidance here! Thanks!
