As some have seen on here I have been dealing with my elderly parents and their nursing home and selling their properties and cars and lawyers and banks and working full time, and having to put Slim down Tuesday night, LOTS of stress, not much sleep, etc. etc. etc....I finished up work yesterday, really beat and numb, thinking I could try to relax and try to process losing little Slim, but after 7 last night Deb's mom calls, she had to have one of her cats put down 3 weeks ago, and has a cat Suzy who is 19 and having issues of her own, and says that Suzy is sneezing and blood is going everywhere and is very upset. Deb has taken Suzy and her to the vet several times now, they do some tests and try to treat it, but last night it sounded really bad and her mother was wondering if it was time to put her down, and they were going back and forth with this. I was laying on the floor playing string toys with Sylvester and a few others, was listening to this conversation, and told her "let's take her now so we don't get a call at 3 in the morning to take her", so we were getting ready to go to the SAME VET that we were just at Tuesday night to put our little guy down, and I started seeing some flashing motions on the right side of my right eye. At first I thought maybe it was just the dark backdrop and the kitchen lights, but this progressed as we were racing out to the vet, calmed down somewhat but then I started to see a very wispy floater going back and forth, almost like a cobweb that I wanted to brush aside, so there I was at this vet, we didn't get them home and go to bed until 2:20 in the morning, slept a bit to get up to scramble around to find someone that could look at my eye, found an optometrist who did a really nice job, and said it is the Vitreous tearing away, something she says is quite normal albeit scary with age, had no retinal tear, it should settle down, wants me to get a recheck in 3 weeks but call if anything else happens, and Deb who worked 42 years for opthamologists said she did a nice job and was correct, Deb has one for years, and they both said "with time you almost forget about it". I told her that I have been under a boatload of stess like I said, especially this last week, and she said that doesn't help and can actually cause you to see them more, so I am TRYING to settle down but everytime I turn around there is another problem and another and another....
I take a lot of vitamins and read that Bromelain and Hylauric acid can help with floaters, so I am taking them plus my other vitamins/ minerals. Anyone else have any comments and experience with these annoying things?
Oh, and they didn't put the cat down, they are having her mother try an oral liquid antibiotic to see if that helps, but also said there of course is a chance that she might have a tumor or something going on in that right nostril, and it was VERY tough hearing that while standing in the place where we held Slim for the last time....
And today her mom told Deb that she spilled most of the liquid medicine trying to give it to her with the help of a friend So I'm sure Deb will end up taking her and Suzy to their vet in a few days...
Thank you
