I talk about Cookie in Gingers thread . I don't know if I caused that maybe with my fingernails or something else is going on with his eye's . Here is a pic of his eye's and hope you can see what I mean . Any body has a idea what it could be ? I do have a vet appointment tommorrow at 4:30 in the afternoon .

It looks like some kind of infection - I don't think u did it with ur fingernail because u said u touched ONE eye right? BOTH of his eyes look affected.. U have a vet appt tmr right? HOPE it can be fixed soon and that he'll be 100% better.
Keep us posted!

Cookie's eyes were ok when he first came to me , but in time I were seeing one eye did not look clear to me (his left eye) at all . I did not even mess with his eyes or him for at least 5 or 6 days I think . Then I notice he had some hard stuff on his eyes so I wanted to clean it off for him . I sually don't use my fingernails at all and I wish I never did
use it on him now . The crust did not come off so I used my nail and got it off from his eye . So I don't know if I made it worse or did something to his eye . For sure I never ever would use my fingernails ever again in my hole life
. Gosh I feel so bad for him now and so guilty about it . I think he is also in pain with his eye , he is hiding all the time now unter my bed
. I cant wait till tomorrow to have the vet look at him . Thanks Pamela for caring .

Today I was able to look in his left eye it was open .It looks really bad . It looks like there is a grey film over the eye and is like the eye moved back in the (hmmmm ??? sp) eye sucked . I think now it is something very serious and may have nothing to do with me cleaning that crust stuff off his eye .

Oh Hedi,
It seems for both of us right now, our kitties are just not "behaving" (I have an older kitty now who is either early diabetes or pre-diabetic)! I'm glad you have an apt. for Cookie today, and no, I don't think your cleaning away the crusting with your fingernail is the problem. I hope it will be an easy to clear up with eye ointment infection and nothing more serious.

Yhank you all so much

Pat&Alix , I am so sorry about your cat and his diabetic .Where you by the vet yet ? Gosh you and I really are going through a lot lately . Lets not forget M.A. , she went through a lot last month too , bless her heart .It looks like there is never a end to it .

I don't know about Cookie's eye , it kind off looks almost he is geting blind in that one eye . I sure hope not for him , poor baby .If I have caused that I don't know if I could forgive myself for that .I hope and pray the eye can be saved and/or it only needs some meds for healing . My friend Iris will pick me up at 4pm , so as soon I am back I will post what the problem with his eye is .

Yay Hedi, I'm happy to hear that Cookies eye condition can be helped with meds!


That happened to one of my parents' cats and they had to use ointment on him too. I thinks 2 different kinds like Cookie. The vet told them he would probably have a white spot like a scar on his eye for the rest of his life because of this, but he healed completly with the meds and has nothing on his eye to show it! The oinment can be hard to get in the eye but I'm sure Cookie will behave for you!

I hope your eye gets better soon Cookie!

I'm glad you have your answer and get this healed up now. My fellow with the ?diabetes has a second follow-up apt. this weekend, and is being at this point, treated by diet only.
