I know it’s something I should ask my vet but they’re a little off with her diagnosis, I feel, so maybe a few objective opinions would be ok.
My kitten just went through her first heat cycle. It was a nightmare for us both, I think. Me for obvious reasons and her cause she didn’t sleep, eat or drink much for 2 days and even threw up… I felt really bad for her. She did NOT enjoy that.
I will be calling my vet to schedule to spay her but I was wondering if anyone has had an experience with spaying a cat that has minor eye irritations.
She’s had them for a few months, nothing serious but a little discharge and squinting… she also gulps sometimes. Shedoesn’t have a URI (confirmed by the vet) or feline leukemia. My vet suspected herpes but I really doubt it cause it has a lot of other symptoms she doesn’t have.
And if she did, would it be ok to do any surgery like that? It’s not a male cat after all, surgery is a little more complicated.
Any advice would be great. Thanks!
Oh she’s about 10-11 months old (got her from a shelter so I don’t know for sure).
Ok, in reply, she IS on lysine right now. It doesn’t seem to make a difference for now. Also, she’s been through a round of antibiotics before and it made no difference.
She’s eating well, energetic, playful and overall healthy. Herpes might not manifest as all the symptoms in a given cat but I just doubt it would only show as sporadic eye irritations in the absence of all other symptoms.
As I said ,she was tested for FLV and she doesn’t have it.
I’ll call my vet either way and ask, just wanted to see what people thought, thanks!
