Thank you all for the reply , especialy Sue . Great info . The problem is , the vet did not say anything about a herpes virus to me . She only said that Cookie had a ulcer , thats it . She also showed me where the eye was damaged on him . Hmmmm , it seems a little better , but he still has a grey film over his eye . I got 2 ointments for him to place in his eye . Maybe I did not really get it in his eye in the beginning ? Or he does has a herpes virus there and the vet did not say anything to me .
Thank you all again for your help , it give me the info what I needet

from the research I did, the ulcer is very often caused by herpes virus. (especially when it is in both eyes)

I would like to recommend getting GSE grapefruit seed extract drops to your kitties wet food. it fights viruses and bacteria. it is available at health stores.

when I got my last kitty Roxy, she has the virus and very bad eyes.
and the eye-oitment made them worse (a sign it was more due to the virus) and so I stopped the eye ointment (told by my vet) and gave her GSE along wiht her antibiotics from the vet (vet did not know about the GSE)

after a few days her eyes were totally clear.

also my Piper has an eye that acts up since I got her from the shelter, the first time I went to the vet they gave her oitment took 10 days to go away. now whenever she show a slight sign of it coming back I give her the GSE and in 2 days it is gone. she has had this happen twice since the first time.

so I think trying the GSE may really help your kitty, along with the meds told by your vet!

I have heard from others as well that GSE helped clear the eyes up fast!

if you want more info let me know!

Thank you for your help Cookie .

I do have GSE and they trink it every day in their water . Cookie only has in his left eye a ulcer . I think I scratch them eyes when I try to get the crust of his eyes (from the tears) and thats why they where both swollen . I also did not wash my hands and I smoke and think that may also did the swelling to his eyes .The injury on his eye is in the mittle of his left eye and I never touch that part of his eye . So maybe Lily may have scratch him in his eye , or when he was hiding unter the bed in the beginning he must hurt himself some how . That is what I am guessing now . Cookie's eye looks so much better today . I think in the beginning I did not get the ointments in his eye , dumb me . The last few days I make sure I get the ointments in his eyes and can tell the difference .

Thank you all again for helping me

no problem, glad it's getting better!

I know what you mean, the oitment is hard to put in the eye the first few times!

It could have been many things that scratched cookie's one eye. sometimes a piece of dust gets in their eye and they rub there eye which can cause a scracth that leads to an ulcer, so don't blame yourself! cookie will be fine in a few days! keep up the good work with the oitment!

I guess I was wrong

Cookie still got the cloud in his eye , so I think he may also has herpes in there "sight" .

it might be a good time to up the GSE you already give cookie

I gave mine 3 drops in wet food twice a day to fight the virus...

Up date on Cookie

I was by the vet today with Cookie and the vet told me that the reason it take that long is becours it was a great damage to his eye and thats why it take longer to heal .She also said that his eye looks good and is healing well and to continue with the one meds I have for his eye . Cookie also was snizzing lately and had fever at the vet . So now he also got some antibiotics to take . It never ends at my house .

I'm glad the vet gave him an improvement diagnosis on his eye, that's good news. It's harder to tell that he's any better since you see him daily, and it's probably a gradual thing.

Poor kitty, compounded with a cold too. Cookie , get well soon!! And *HUG* to you, hang in there.
