My poor poor baby girl kitten has been through a bad month.
What was thought to be a severe URI turned into being a large mass that started in her nose and went down to the bottom of her trachea. When they pulled it out they said her entire throat was lodged with snot, goo and old food.
She was pretty much on death's door and has been struggling to breath since she was born 14 weeks ago.
Finally yesterday I picked her up from the vet. She seems MUCH better.
The vet said I could introduce her to my 2 cats (4 and 6) who have been smelling her through a door for the last 4 weeks.
I let them meet and everything is going well. She is eating great, getting along with my middle cat and playing like crazy.
Well this morning my eldest cat who's having a harder time adjusting smacked the kitten on her head. My eldest cat is not a mean cat what so ever and never does things like this. It was a small tap.
Well since this has happened my kitten's one eye is screwed up. Her third eye lid is sticking out in the corner of her eye. It's not going away when she blinks. It's there all the time since this happened (an hour ago)
looks like this: her's is out a little more
My 2nd cat had third eyelids when she was a kitten but we only saw them when she blinked and it went away after awhile.
Honestly this is the last thing this poor cat needs. What should I do? I tried cleaning it and it's not bothering her but SERIOUSLY!
I just broke down crying. I can't even possibly think of another pet bill. I got the kitten for free and we have spent close to $1200 in the short 4 weeks we've had her. Everyone around me makes me feel so stupid for spending it on her.
They ask me like "WHY? on earth would you spend that!?"... feeling kind of stupid already and oh hey great look her eye is now screwed up and we really hope we don't have to bring her in.
What do I do? I just want her to feel better. Now this eye issue on top of everything. Hellllllp or advice please
