Hi,
it's me, Diane R., just signed on from my home account. ;-)
And
already with another question!!
Patches has fairly steadily had runny eyes -- in its liquid form
before it becomes eye boogers, it's clear but a very pale pink. Is this a
symptom of something? Today the eye boogers were worse than usual,
and he was very subdued.
He
has had less of an appetite than usual the past few days -- although our
perception of "normal" is somewhat skewed since he came to us half-starved and
full of parasites. When his appetite started decreasing, we thought it
might be the Missing Link we had started to sprinkle in it, so we tried giving
him half a can with some sprinkles and then, hours later, the other half of the
can the next morning, without. But then he wasn't finishing either
portion. He had been freefeeding on crunchies fairly steadily, so we were
wondering if maybe his appetite had evened out after the first few days of
wanting any and all nourishment. But of course we're also trying to beef
him up, so last night we tried a whole can of A/D and he wolfed it
down.
I
guess at this point we're bogged down in variables -- appetite evening out, not
liking the Missing Link, not liking the particular variety du jour, the recent
heat. We're in kind of a bind because we don't feel we have time to "wait
and see" since if he truly is FeLV+, the runny eyes, the subduedness, the
lessened appetite might mean he's come down with something that needs
treating.
So,
has anybody here had experience with these kinds of symptoms in
combination? Any input welcome.
Diane R.
