Hi! I would very much like advice on a few things.
My kitty keeps having issues with his eyes. They will be squinty and watery - sometimes redness. (Has also had corneal ulcers 2-3 times in the past year, and in both eyes.) He always has gunk in the corner of his eyes.
Off and on for the past two weeks he has had squinty/watery eyes. Started with the left eye. (Usually the left eye he has problems with.) Had Terramycin so put in his eye for few days. Stopped after it didn’t seem to be helping and consulting with vet’s office that suggested to stop and take him in the next day. Well, get up early to take him and eye looks fine - open and not watering - so don’t take him. Now few days later - same symptoms with his right eye. I have a sterile eye wash that I’ve tried to rinse it with a couple of times.
Is there a supplement that I could give him that is good for eye health? He’s never been diagnosed with herpes - would the l-lysine possibly help though?
Also, he seems to shake his head a lot. Have noticed his ears twitching often (mainly left one). He’ll also scratch at his ears/side of his head some but not excessively (mainly left side). I’ve had vet look at his ears approx 3 times within approx the past 8 months - they say no infection. He will have wax - but they say not excessive. What else could the head shaking be related to?
Are the eye & ear issues probably just allergies? He does have clear nasal discharge often as well.
One last thing - he recently had bloodwork that showed a WBC count on the low side, lymphocytes on the high side, and elevated liver enzymes. Would it maybe be a good idea to give him something that boosts overall immunity? What would be a good supplement for that?
Sorry so long. Thank you in advance!!
