My poor little einstein has some discharge from his left eye and now he is really lethargic...not eating or drinking. Soonest app. for the vet is Friday morning and I am sooo worried about him!

I gave him some water and watered down wet cat food with a dropper...I am going to try to give him some kitty treat milk the same way...poor little dear.

Anyone ever have this happen before? his third eyelid is a tiny bit visible...

I have seen something similiar before. My RB cat, Midnight, developed glaucoma in both eyes and had periodic episodes of severe pain and inflammation. IMO, I think einstein is lethargic and refusing to eat or drink because he's in pain. There are a number of different things that could be wrong with his eye, please take him to a vet ASAP and preferably sooner than Friday. Are there any emergency vets in your area?

Ok...starting to freak out.

Einstein has been the same today. His vet appt. is set for 9"15 am tomorrow. I am so worried because I lost a kitten to FIP on November 1st..I am thinking this could possibly be his end too. Although he is 2 years old, and cats of that age are usually safe from FIP, it is probable that he could have it. I know it is spready by a repiratory type virus...and he has runny eyes and I heard him sneeze a couple times.

I am so worried and I will be up all night...poor guy is so lethargic. I force fed him some watered down babyfood and plain water with a dropper to hopefully keep the fatty liver disease at bay..

Some prayers for my little one? I know they will keep me up all night.

I'll let you all know what the vet says tomorrow.
