Re: Leaky Eye on my Birman

First off, what does the eye discharge look like? Is it clear (like
excess tearing) or mixed with colored mucous? If it's clear like
excess tearing, then it could be as simple as an irritation. If it is
colored (like yellow or brown), it's likely an infection. You did the
right thing by taking the Birman to the vet, though. I've taken

Leaky Eye on my Birman

jilliansavar...@gmail.com — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 17:06:00 UT

Hello, recently my cat (3 years old briman) began developing a leaky
eye. I brought her to the vet and he put her on Medication, well now
it's back and I am concerned. When I orginially brought her in he
asked a bunch of questions about our other cat and whether or not he
was treated for a series of things before he was brought into our home

What alternatives to Revolution do you like?

blackrots...@yahoo.com (Lisa C) — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 13:58:53 UT

After using Revolution for a year and a half, he had a reaction to it
back in June. He lost all his hair in the spot, it scabbed over, and
was itchy. I just used it again and the same thing happened.
1) Could it have been a bad batch of Revolution? 2) What do you all
use besides Revollution? I will be seeing my vet in a few weeks when

I, too, have no love for collars, but I found it necessary to color code
three nearly identical red tabbies so I could tell them apart. After much
thought and consideration of the probable attrition rate for bought
collars, I settled on a simple and very inexpensive solution that can
easily be adapted to the name and phone number text use: a strip of 1/2

I have to get my cat a collar and tags (in addition to microchip). She
spends a few hours out side everyday and while she knows our block
well, it would be safer for her to be ID'd.
But here is what I am struggling with: The vet (@Banfield) gave us two
tags after vaccinations that she should have. They'll give us another

Thanks for all the info in the thread. I am thinking about a chip. We
live pretty close to a Banfield/Petsmart, so I inquired there. They
told me their cost is $30 for lifetime upkeep of data . Also, they use
*two* chips which conform to different frequency standards [darn, what

Christie, the only time I have had similar, it was kidney disease that
caused early onset senility. It was before they had any good way to treat
it. They can now, but it can (from what I hear) be very expensive.

Have you tried confining her to a utility room with her box, food, etc.?
Visiting her. Playing with her there. Letting her out after maybe half a
day, then putting her back in when she has an accident? This is the ONLY
thing that worked for us.

We have no "no kill" shelters in all of northern Wisconsin. We have enough
problem with funding any type of shelter. However, the bottom line is I
don't want her killed, I want to keep her. I'm trying DESPERATELY to find a
solution to stop this behavior. The vet has no other solutions. We've gone

Let's stick to the topic ok? Human physicians, as I have said earlier,
do go through a much harder screening process in their early clinical
