Hi.
I'm new to this site and would really appreciate feedback on this. I am fostering a stray cat. She was diagnosed with terrible stomatitis and just Monday had the majority of her teeth extracted. (the vet at the shelter was going to pull them all except her fangs but found out mid surgery that the shelter did not have a drill that she needed to do certain teeth and had to stop.) This poor cat. I picked her up after two days and her left eye is swollen shut and draining pus. I didn't see it until I got her out of her carrier at home that night but ran her back the next day (this morning.) The vet couldn't say what happened. She was given a convenia injection, gave me a tube of antibiotic eye ointment and one 6mg tablet of onsioa which was useless because no way can I get near her mouth to give it to her. She won't eat. won't drink. I don't know if she ate or drank at the shelter. They said she did but how could she have if she's not eating or drinking now? They won't give me more pain meds for her. She's only about 1 1/2 years old if that. She has to go back when they get the drill to have the rest of her teeth removed. I feel like this is killing her. What the heck happened to her eye? The vet tech was an idiot and told me it was stress. No, not possible. The vet wasn't even able to examine the eye this morning because it was so swollen shut. The outside of her lid is red and bulbous. Her eye is draining. It's awful. What happened? Do you think she was hit in the eye with something? Did bacteria travel up a sinus and attack her eye? What can be done? I'm so upset about this.
