Hi guys,
Hulio is one of my Nan's kitties. Late Saturday night, my Nan called me all in a panic saying that there was something wrong with Hulio. He is a big, beautiful, playful tuxedo kitty. She said there was a "white film" over his eyes and that he was lethargic and not himself at all. I asked if he was still eating and drinking, and she said he was, but not as much as he normally does, and he hasn't been playing with Annie, their kitten they've had for a month, and he and Annie were ALWAYS playing. She asked me if I could come to check on him the next morning and see what I thought.
Yesterday morning Dana and I go over. As suppected, the "white film" were his third eyelids, which Nan knew nothing about. Hulio obviously wasn't feeling well, was a little warm and not active at all, although he IS still eating and drinking some. Nan and her husband are seniors on a fixed income, but I told them to make sure he continues to eat and drink, and as long as he is and doesn't get any worse, he can hold off seeing the e-vet and they are going to call their regular vet first thing this morning.
We have no idea what the issue could be. This hit Hulio very suddenly. He's still a big, beautiful boy, Nan doesn't know anything he could have gotten into, and he's only 6 years old. (I took them to the shelter to adopt him 6 years ago as my Christmas gift to them.
) At first I was thinking maybe something came with the kitten, but she has been there a month now, is fine and so is their other cat, Kizzy.
Anyway, they are calling their vet and trying to get him in first thing this morning. Any vibes you could send would be greatly appreciated. I also told them I would help with the vet bills if need be. They adore Hulio... He's a wonderful boy, so hopefully it isn't anything too serious.
