Okay, so I've had my darling Riley for about two months, and I know the vet office a tad too well.

First was his general checkup a week I had him. Nothin special, just a distemper shot. The shelter had vaccinated and neutered him

A few weeks later I took him back, I had noticed his left eye was closed. The vet said he had a scratch and gave him ointment. Didn't work.


Week later I took him again and a different vet said it was a bacterial infection and gave him prendisone and amoxicillian (sorry for my bad spelling) and a different ointment. No improvement.

Went for his check up and the vet took him off the prendisone and gave him eye drops and said I should get an appoinment with an opthamolgist. I did, the next state over!!! My poor kitty! He seems to be in little pain, he still plays, eats, cuddles, and annoys Morgan.

Anywho, sorry about the rambling, but good ya send good thoughts his way?

Thanks!!!

You and Riley are in my thoughts and prayers. The not knowing is so hard, hopefully tomorrow you will find out what is going on.

Update:

The opthamologist said the best thing to do was remove the eye. So I made an appointment for the veery next day with my regular vet. That was a nervous day!! SHe called my to tell me how the operatin went, and said I got him there just in time because when she just touched the eye, it burst (her words). So now I have a one-eyed, buck-toothed, polydactyl cat. Should have gotten the extende warrenty! j/k ;-) He's doing fine, hates his lampshade collar, and is back to purring. I must say, he still looks prety good.





sorry, bad link for the pic

Oh Riley, you poor kitty!
He sure sounds like a trooper. I'm glad you got him to the vet in time!
