I got the call back from the vet! No Toxoplasmosis, no other infections, the only thing off was a slight increase in monocytes, which the vet said could indicate a recurrent infection or a fungal infection, but could also just indicate stress. Her eyes still look fabulous and she's up to all...

Here are her eyes today. Looking sooo much better!

White Shadow, the pain med the vet gave us is called Meloxicam, and it seems to have helped a lot! We haven't given it to her since Friday and her eyes look even better today (Monday), no trace of redness at all. They look completely normal. It's amazing to me how quickly that turned around...

This morning Toffee's eyes look so much better! I think the pain meds and eye drops are helping. She is still not 100% because she keeps "missing" when she leaps, so I think she is maybe not seeing clearly or sge is still feeling yucky. Blood work should be back next week the vet said, just...

Thank you so much! I just got off the phone with the vet. The good news is that Toffee's temperature is down to 102.7, which to me sounds pretty normal for a cat in distress. The vet was not concerned about fever today. She said that upon examining her eyes, she can tell that the...

Thank you white shadow! We did stop with the clindamycin pills. I spoke with the vet about it when she called back last night, so she is aware. It just felt so awful forcing them on her when we weren't even sure they were necessary. As far as the eyes, on Wednesday I initially noticed her...

Furballsmom, I love that cat fountain! Toffee is back at the vet. Her irises are actually looking a lot better, but her pupils are still very dilated and cloudy/green. While she is eating some, she is not eating the usual amount. She is using her litter box and there has been no stomach...

Furballsmom, I have a call into the vet now, just waiting on a call back. I do think her eyes being so dilated is a huge reason she is hiding in the closet. They also must be pretty sore. My daughter built her a "cave" out of boxes and blankets today, and we put the food inside so she can eat...

Here are some pictures of her eyes. She is still very much hiding in the back of the dark closet and not acting herself.

Thank you, I will be hoping you are right. Her irises are a rusty orange-red, her pupils are very dilated. She is eating and drinking a little today but definitely not herself. I will attempt to get a picture of her eyes when I give her the next round of drops. I've attached pictures of both...

Just another update, in case anyone is following. Toffee's eyes still look rusty and dark, and she still seems uncomfortable. She retreats to the back of a dark closet when we aren't actively petting her or giving her medicine. She has purred a little while being petted, but she is definitely...

I am just so full of despair right now. Toffee is really sick. She is not eating, she is not purring, she is hiding in the back of my daughter's closet with slitted eyes and seems just so, so miserable. We managed to give her the first pill with help from my neighbor, but I don't know how I...

Forgot to add, for now the vet recommended we keep her in isolation until she is feeling better, mostly so we can monitor her food and water intake and keep an eye on her litter habits. So she's set up in my daughter's room, and we're hoping for the best. The vet said if we don't see...

Well, the vet ran a bunch of tests. All the blood work came back normal, and they retested her for FIV and FELV, both of those were also negative (phew). She is strictly indoor but the vet said there was a slight possibility that Tucker could have carried something inside while still testing...

The vet is running tests and blood work now. Apparently both eyes have inflammation and the vet says she also has a fever. I am super nervous.

Thank you! Yes, I will try spreading out the food bowls. I will also update after hearing what the vet says.

A little background: We adopted a stray "community cat" who had taken up residence on my deck. He was fully vetted by us and was brought inside in July. We introduced him to our two resident cats over a 3 week period, and for over a month now, he has been fully integrated into our family. The...

Thank you, Furballsmom! I let him out again about an hour ago. There has been hissing and even a little chasing. But now we also have this. Nobody is actually sleeping here, but they aren't actively fighting so I'm guessing this is good?

Ok, I need some more advice, please! We have been taking small steps to introduce Tucker to the resident cats. After several days of the the resident cats not reacting to the sock or hissing at the door where Tucker is isolated, we tried feeding the cats on opposite sides of the door. That...

Tucker's vet appointment went well! The vet estimates him at about 1-1.5 years old, and he is negative for all the cat viruses and in good general health. Toffee is still not a fan. She spotted him in the carrier when we were transporting him to the car. There was a lot of hissing and then...
