My poor little tortie kitten, over the weekend she started sneezing. Yesterday her eye was a little goopy, and when I woke up today her eye was glued shut. I came back from the vet not too long ago, and the vet says she almost definately has a viral infection-she thinks it might be herpes or a calicivirus. We have her on Clavamox liquid, an eye ointment, and something called "Viralys" that is supposed to help, but obviously you can't treat viruses very well. If she develops other symptoms she needs to go back, but otherwise has a recheck in 10 days. The vet said both viruses can cause blindness, so I'm hoping and praying the quick intervention will help. I already have battle wounds from giving the medications, haha.
Here is my baby...you can see how bad her eye is.
