And the journey continues...

Thursday we had a board certified animal behaviorist come to the house and assess Shelby. The Buspar and Cerenia did not work in reducing/stopping his spraying. She gave us some homework and I can safely say that I was overwhelmed with all that we need to "work" on. Firstly though, Shelby needs blood work redone and then Prozac to start with.

This morning however I was cleaning up Chloe's chin because it appeared that her feline acne was acting up on her chin. I tilted her head back and trimmed the hair, cleaned it up and let her go. When she walked away I noticed that her right eye was all cloudy and pinkish with blood. Needless to say I freaked the hell out and called the vet STAT. Brushed my teeth, dressed and was out the door within 5 minutes. Vet's diagnosis....lens subluxation. Basically her lens is loose and has impaired her vision. We are to take her to an opthamologist next week, but in the meantime she is getting prednisone drops to try and reduce the inflammation in her eye.
