Dilated Eye Follow Up
Thanks Dr J & all the rest for support. I might even get restful sleep instead of “wake up every ½ hour” sleep. Monday was the follow-up appt. w/Dr. Roberts for Ms Too Too’s eye. Half the pupil did suffer nerve damage, it look’s like a backwards D exposed to sunlight. But the eye pressure is back to normal. He said stop the Timolol, for pressure, and the prednisolone once day for a month. That evening her head started jerking constantly, (looked like seizures) towards that eye w/the sneezing, (Sun. did call him, he mentioned Lysine, couldn’t find the capsules) which started the day before was loud but w/o any spray. “Whupped” I had one of my friends come over, we both agreed her eye seemed larger. So I gave her a drop of Timolol, the jerking wasn’t constant but it was often even while sleeping. First thing in the a.m. I faxed him, wanting reassurance the jerking was due to the nerve damage, knowing what he’d say - a follow-up w/ my reg. Vet for a blood test. Which I didn’t want that misery for her again. I called the cat sitter & checked out some things. Sorry this is so long I’ll cut to the chase. Found the Lysine capsules, when I got home mixed ¾ of the powder in wet food, fed my hungry, sneezing kitty, followed her around w/my dinner & at this moment she’s in her bed by my desk sleeping. The last 4-5 hours no sneezing, no jerking. Thinking about it all I don’t know if the jerking was stress, when I dropped her off to go back to the office for an hour and the smell of my new pc deck set off her allergies. All I know is she’s comfortable and that makes me happy. I have a lot of research to do because I sure would like to cancel her blood test on Friday. When they wanted to give her a cortisone shot cause she was pulling the fur out again on her sides, I found the simplest thing, she doesn’t do it anymore. Alternative medicine is always out there. It’s late & thanks again everyone.
