Well, I am about to cry again. I thought I could do this without tearing up. Our Abby has only been with us since October, but she is my lovey baby! Last week I was getting her bed ready when we made eye contact. She has the sweetest little face and looks at me with love. Well, this time I noticed that one of her eyes was darker, foggy, and the pupil was just a slit. Of course it was late at night when I noticed this. So off to the vet the next day. She was concerned when she saw Abby's eye. We took blood to check for FeLV, FIV, toxoplasmosis and FIP. The first three came back negative, but her titer for corona virus was high and her gamma globulins were very high. Yesterday her eye swelled up within a couple of hours. Off to the vet again. Secondary glaucoma is what it turned out to be. Also not a good sign for FIP. She is on prednisolone tablets and eye drops and also some drops to reduce the pressure in her eye.
The vet thinks it is the dry form and is trying to get her into a drug trial going on in California. Please wish us luck. Pray for my little thumbed baby! Any advice? She is still eating, just not as much as she was. And she isn't playing at all (she is 8 months old) since her eye got weird. How long does she have? I am just so, so sad.
