Title: Oh Lola!

Well yesterday morning, Lola and Abbey were sitting on the cat tree looking out the window. A stray cat wandered by our apartment and the cats got their backs up, they were very unhappy. Anyway, a little scrap with some redirected aggresion later and Lola has a scratch on her cornea.

We took her to the vet as soon as they could take us that morning. Luckily, it was only a pinhole scratch and it only went through a couple layers of her eye. So she is on an antibiotic ointment. Wow. Giving her that is FUN! :rolleyes: Rob holds her down and I squirt it into her eye. Then I have to blink her eye a few times to get it to absorb.

She is a real trooper though! Tonight's application was the best so far! She goes back to the vet on Monday for a check up!

I hope the eye heals ok. :kittyluv:

Poor little beauty... :( Glad to hear it's not too serious though! :hug:

Oh no - that sucks! We had eye issues for a while and that ointment is fun to give. :rolleyes: I'd wrap ours in a towel, put it in, and then do the blink thing to get it in. Needless to say, the cats hated me for a while.

I hope she gets better soon. :kittyluv:

:comfort: Poor Lola

I've experienced the eye ointment too with Sparkle last year - it does get easier after the first few goes! (The first time I tried, most of it ended up on his head!)

Awww poor Lola, hugs and prayers.

Her eye looks fantastic. She is still not a big fan of the eye drops but she takes them well enough. Check up is tomorrow so hopefully she won't have to take them anymore!

Poor Lola! Glad she's being a real trooper!

Lola had her check up and the vet did a dye test to ensure it was healed properly. And it was!! No more eyedrops! :jump:

Jessica - June 23, 2008 04:32 PM (GMT)
Aww, yay! That's great news!!! :)
