So I posted a post the other day how I was worried about my cat that she seemed really sick and she was not opening her one eye and then either eye and she was very lame and lethargic and not really eating much or drinking. Then she was twitching and sort of jerking her head later in the night.
The next morning when I woke up she was 95% better eating energy her eyes were mostly wide open, although I noticed she was still squinting a bit every now and then. And she was still jerking her head a bit. I still took her to the vet anyway because I was scared to death the day prior and the head thing was making me nervous. Plus I just felt it important for her to get checked out after seeming so sick just the day before.
The vet said she most likely had a slight URI brought on by stress from a slight reaction from the vaccines and going into her first heat within days of each other. And also because she was still squinting slightly in the office.
He gave her two shots antibiotic and steroid for anti-inflammatory and also swabbed her ears to check for mites or signs of an infection which were both negative and told me to keep and eye on her to watch for any changes.
Well she seems to be fine today except now I have noticed a small spot on her one eye. It looks sort of like a film like a thin layer of mucus almost but I have not dared to try to wipe it with anything because I don't want to damage her eye. Also I feel if it was just mucus stuck it would have moved by now and it has been in the same spot all day. I can't exactly tell if it is on or below the first layer of her eye but I know it is not on her iris.
Has anyone ever experienced any symptoms similar to this? I have searched and searched and searched and can not find anything that matches with all the symptoms she has gone through. I will be calling the vets office tomorrow to see what he has to say about it. They were not there today because of a snow storm we had here.
But I just like to have as much knowledge as possible of my own, and also hearing people's personal experiences with things can also help when trying to figure out what is going on. So whatever experience you have will be helpful. Again I will be calling my vet, I just want to hear others thoughts or experiences.
