Scary morning

[demented_are_go]

Today's been pretty nuts. We woke up at like 8:45, a couple of minutes later, my husband came in here freaking out. One of our kitties, Danzig, was in a pretty bad shape, his left eye was swollen shut. I'm so bad in emergency situations, I generally just freak out. I tried to stay calm this time and started getting ready while he called our vet. Poor baby has a nasty eye infection and a scratch across his cornea, we're not sure how it happened, but it's likely that he did that one himself, his eye seems to be real itchy and well both of our other kitties are front declawed.

I freaked when I first looked at his eye, I pulled his eyelid back a bit and it looked deflated, by the time we got to the vet, it looked a little better. They put some dye in his eye so that they could get a better look at the scratch. The vet sent us home with antibiotics, for the infection, eye drops and some eye ointment, which he really hates.

We lost one of our babies back in march, he passed away in my husband's arms, so whenever something's wrong with one of them, we don't take any chances, we just rush them to the vet.
