My poor boy :( I observe them all a lot everyday and am sure his eye wasn’t that bad 1.5 days ago.
April 20: More bad news: My boy Gerry had a thing with his eye a few weeks ago where he kept closing it. I kept watching him and it wasn’t that bad. He just closed it randomly, but then after a week, when some of the kittens got eye infections, I got liquid low dose antibiotics from the vet and gave some to his eye too. Then a few days ago I noticed him rubbing it, and then this morning he went alone with the eye closed under the sofa and didn’t want to eat, which is extraordinary for hungry Gerry. I put him separate from the others when I went to work as I could tell he wanted to be alone. When I came home his eye was worse. Brought him to the vet straightaway and when he opened his eye it was bright green. The vet said an infection has destroyed his cornea. She said it could have something to do with his FIP. She said it’s unlikely he will regain sight in that eye. Now he has the cone to stop scratching it and is on painkillers and antibiotics and eye drops.
Update April 23rd: Ger Bear is going back to the vet tomorrow to see how his eye is. Doesn’t look great. Still a weird color and I don’t think he’s seeing properly from it. He’s struggling with the collar. Knocking over stuff all the time. But he has his giant appetite and energy so that’s good. I’m hoping the vet says the collar can come off!
April 6: Scratchy surprisingly made a recovery. He’s still very fragile but his mouth is not bright yellow anymore. just a bit yellow. He will be going back to the vet on the weekend.
April 6: The babies are all healthy looking. They’ve all opened their tiny eyes now.
On a lighter note, the kittens at one week
Update after the vet: His whole body is yellow, even under the fur when the vet shaved him to take blood. He has almost zero red blood cells and his blood that came out is really watery. We got medication for him but if he doesn’t improve in a few days he would need a blood transfusion from maybe his brother Itchy and that’s complicated as they have to do lots of compatibility tests.
The vet thinks that maybe he ate rat poison.
Meanwhile around the same time (April 1st), Scratchy, another one of the garden cats turned up outside my door. Hadn’t seen him in a week and thought he was staying away because of protective mum PiePie. He came to me and cried and crumpled. Normally he’s super strong and cheeky. And checked him and he has blood from his nostrils and sunken eyes and one infected. And his gums are yellow/orange color. He’s not well and begging for help. Going to bring him to the vet asap.
She kept coming back with more. She must have given birth on the mountains and is bringing them one by one ... we are at 5! now.
P.S. She brought another white one, so 6 was the final count!
PiePie (one of the garden cats) gave birth on March 24. She came to me to bring me to where she had her babies safe in a back storage room in the garden.
Mr. Carrot is doing better now with the medicines he received every single day. He’s such a good boy! And now he has a buddy who is there eveeryday when I walk to the village on my lunch hour. Her name is Jezebel.
I left work early to visit Mr Carrott and give him his third round of medicines. He was super hungry and energetic and gobbled all of the treatments and 2 packets of wet food !
