I did not know how bad his eye hurt until he got home. The vet mentioned that aspirin was good for the inflammation. I am not sure why he did not just tell me to give him some. Although I do not like giving a cat aspirin I did give him about 1/3 of a baby aspirin last night. Best as I can tell he can probably get another dose tomorrow.
I think when my sister's cat Fluffy had a blood clot many years ago she was given aspirin daily. I remember how much pain she was in. It was like a miracle how quickly the aspirin took away the pain and eventually dissolved the clot. She had partial paralysis of her hind legs due to the clot. He actually had his eye open today. It still looks bad but I think it is better than yesterday. Junior slept all day. I gave him L lysine 500 mg twice today in his baby food. He did not seem interested in eating anything else. His weight is good so a few days off his food should not be a problem. Tiny is a real trooper even after all the vaccinations he got yesterday. He was a little less active today, but he still played and tried to sneak outside. He is the only cat I know who does not play 'catch me if you can' when he gets away. All I had to do was call his name, and click to him and he came right to me. He really hates being inside all the time. The birds would not use the feeder I put outside my window. It has been there 3 weeks. It shouldn't have taken them more than a week to find it. I moved it today to the side yard. More cover for the birds on the side of the house. I was hoping to give Tiny some entertainment since his favorite sport was catching yes and eating birds. I did hate him doing that. The rest of the cats are doing well. Hopefully we caught the FeLV before it spread to them. Several of the cats had the same or more exposure than Tiny did.

The vet did not give me anything for that reason. He did say there was a medicine we could have used but because it was too difficult for me to administer it he went with the oral antibiotic instead. I do have erythromycin ointment that I had been using but can no longer get in his eye. He is sleeping peacefully right now. I am hoping a couple days on the Clindamycin will see some improvement in Junior. He is eating baby food with the Lysine and vitamins as well as a squirt of Nutrical. He has been eating well up until this latest setback. I am thinking it was this eye bc it is the one that had nerve damage from the accident. The other eye is not affected. If it were he would not be able to see. I had another cat that had to have his eye removed after an injury did not heal. He let me know that it was hurting. After a month of treatment there was nothing else to do but remove the eye. However he did not have FeLV. Any other suggestions?
