I went to the vet on Monday with Pudding, one of my new cats. I collected them from the rescue centre on 15th November, and she had a bit of a runny eye. It seemed to clear up, then came back, went again, and came back, so that was why we went to see the vet.
I have drops to put in her eye twice a day and we started that on Monday night. Her eye looks a little better already but yesterday she started sneezing. I've heard her sneeze half a dozen times yesterday and today but there is nothing coming from her nose.
The vet asked me if she was sneezing, when we were there on Monday but of course she hadn't started it at that time. He said she may have a virus, and that could be the cause of her bad eye, so I'm wondering if this is indeed the case and the virus is now progressing. Or is it a reaction to something in the medicine perhaps? OH said, could it be that the drops have got things moving, that it's encouraging her to fight it off? I don't know, so I thought I would ask you good people if you had any thoughts on this.
I have nursed a cat through cat flu years ago so I know what that looks like, and Pudding does not look ill. She is eating well, playing and having cuddles as normal.
We will go back to the vet if necessary but I don't think it's an emergency so could probably wait until Monday.
Here is Pudding, asleep on my arm
