after adopting a 12 week old kitten from the local humane society its been endless problems. Minor but vexing. first the pink eye which of course spread to the other eye through grooming, then earmites and gunky brown wax, then fleas and the subsequent tapeworms. her eyes are still swollen, i clean and medicate her eyes three times a day, and now she is shaking her right paw as if there is something wrong with it. Monday I am taking her back to the vet. My husband alternates between assuring me that these are all logistical problems that we will resolve and being grumpy because this kitty is "inconveniencing him". now he thinks he is allergic to her too.
And the worst part is that her eyes are probably herpes and stress induced and the treatment stresses her out no end. Today I am going to get some feliway infusers and some bach's flower remedy. I wish someone else could medicate her and I could just comfort and console her... which I do , no end, she is asleep in my lap as I type. She can't sleep with us at night and I am sure that addds to her problems even though I do all i can do to make her "den" stress free.
Please reassure me that we will get these things under control before she/I go through the trauma of spaying in two months.
