Hi Tan,

Squirt went for a check up this morning and there has been little change in the ulcer. He's still on synulux, the anti-viral famvir and eyedrops and has to go back in 3- 5 days time.
I am grateful that it is not worse but wish it would START to get better.
In himself he is well and putting on weight. He is still a bit sluggish but can move when he wants and must be in some pain with the eye. They gave him an anti inflam jab today.

so more of a present for him then?  :briggin:

Just come back from vet with Squirt as his eye looked different and I was worrying different good or different bad. But its no change. Vet said that a graft (at about £2000!) might not work as its a viral infection so we carry on as we are and hope it gets better.

aw, Angie - so glad your birthday was yesterday and not the day before, cos you had a rotten day then, didn't you

I hope little Squirt gets better really quickly now, and gives you lots more birthday presents

you deserve some breaks :hug:

Ok, its my birthday today - no congrats as it almost over.

Anyway, This is my best pressie today, squirt and one of his pressies from auntie T.



I do have a better video but as my other pressie is a new pc and its just about up and running but not got all software so it will have to wait until I find all those pesky disks I put somewhere safe.... >:(

Well the little sod has just (I think!) had his second dose of the famvir.

He has decided to become a tablet nightmare and succeeded in managing to cough it back up with some spit twice, I think its now in him....... >:(

He obviously does not appreciate the lengths I had to go to to get the stuff in the first place.
He is moving around well but his eye is still a nasty mess... will take him back again tomorrow to check its not getting worse, hopefully it looks worse 'cos the blood supply is healing....

Poor little Squirt.   Typical I had quite a few of these Famvir when I owned Beau my Herpes carrying raggie.   I gave them all to his new owner and she hasn't needed them since he's had no more problems since he has been an only cat.     I do recall they were very expensice about £70 for 10.     My vet had no problem at all getting them.     I think although my branch didn't have any another one in the chain did.

will have to try and sort out later today so meds may be here by tomorrow.
In the meantime they have all been having some of the L Lysine that su (schmew) sent me from Biscuit's meds.

Funnily enough, the dudley vet also suggested using that so I am eternally grateful tp Su and Biscuit for having sent that to me a couple of weeks ago.

This is terrible and your vet should have got it for you.

Kocka had a bad eye problem and the eye vet she saw said she needed drops that were used for humans and only place to get them was Moorfields eye hospital and they were very expensive. She got them from Moorfields and Kocka was treated as an inpatient, they didnt work as they made her too stressed but they went to another needy cat and Kocka got better by herself. These were not licenced for use on cats either.

I do hope that this can be sorted out for little Squirt.  :hug: :hug:

From the ridiculous to the sublime.

Filming done. New script provided. phoned up local to me chemist to get items ordered for tomorrow and then get back 6-30 with a message saying they could not find the drug.

Admittedly, the line at Dudley Zoo (where we went to spend time between filming) was poor but I did spell out the name and they have written it starting with an S :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored:
they could find the right drug but not the made up one - hence i cannot pick it up tomorrow :Crazy: :Crazy: :Crazy:

must be divine intervention telling me not to get it for him. Honestly!

Squirts eye not any better and his brother now has a small ulcer on eye, so back to vet tomorrow with both of them.
