Vet Visit

So I took the kittens to the vet this morning and GREAT news!!!

Simba has the all clear!  So long as there's no gunk coming out of his eyes and they don't get red again he is done with all the meds!!!!  Woot Woot!!!!!!

Gnomeo will not need stitches again as of now.  The hole is closing up on it's own and the vet would rather not put Gnomeo through that and neither would I!  His other eye is doing great and no longer needs meds!

Purdy has the 1/2 clear.  Her right eye no longer needs meds and has been confirmed by the vet as useless. It will stay in there unless it gets infected and poses trouble.  Her other eye still needs meds to stay moist on one part where the eye lid is actually attached to the eyeball!  The vet thinks this could be a birth defect and be why the kittens got the virus so bad in the first place!

Helen also has the 1/2 clear.  Her left eye no longer needs meds and should be just fine.  The right eye is like Purdy's left.  Attached eye lid.  It's a creepy looking thing too!!!

All in all I'm very pleased with the kittens progress as is the vet!!!




For those of you who came out to the bake sale you probably saw the kittens running around.  Some people made comments about them not being blind.  When I got the kittens they were pretty much blind.  We/I did not expect them to regain any sight at all let alone the amount that the did regain.  Simba's vision is normal, or close enough.  Purdy and Gnomeo have some (or a lot in Gnomeo's case) issues with depth perception, neither can see on one side of their body, but otherwise seem fine.  Helen is the worst.  She has one eye that is useless and the other is about 50%.  She tends to stay close to you or the wall and doesn't really like to run.  She runs more at the store then at home because there's bigger open spaces.  She does run into things at times but for the most part is learning to cope with her issues.  :)  I just felt like some people might have thought I was lying about their sight issues to get more money or something.  I am being as honest as I can and have no issues with people questioning where the money went.  So far $110 went to the vet today for the check up, 1/2 the surgery, and a tube of meds.  The rest will go to kitten food which I am almost out of, toys for the Mice Hunters, and the rest will be saved in case there's another vet visit.  I have spent my own money on the kittens, over $100 already, plus a $40 donation from Tiffany the first rescuer.  So I'm not in this to make money, believe me.  I am going to work on applications for adopting the Mice Hunters and there will be a fee that goes with them.  I haven't decided on the fee yet and it will depend on a couple things.  I will let you know as soon as I know though!  Thank you guys so so so much!!!!
