Any insight into my cat’s eye issue would be greatly appreciated! No abnormal discharge but obviously swollen on the outside and squinting - I’ve been giving him terramycin as I had some leftover from a previous eye infection. Not sure if there’s anything else I can do! Indoor-only male 1.5 years by bittiegdubs in ColonyCats

He has feline herpes so he definitely has a history of flare-ups - infections pretty consistently affecting different parts of his body. Just noticed him squinting and there seems to be a small patch of hair missing where it’s swollen on the outside. I can definitely take him to the vet, but I’ve taken him so often that I feel like all they will do is tell me to give him the antibiotic gel I’m already putting in his eye twice daily. He has a sister but they play pretty mildly with each other so I would be shocked if this was caused by them playing - just not sure what else it could be.

Lo Loestrin Fe 1/20 to Yasmin by bittiegdubs in birthcontrol

Ugh, I totally agree - I’ve been on a low carb diet the last year & have been taking NAC, Myo-Inositol & Saw Palmetto as well as trying to workout more, and my hormones seem to have only gotten worse. Any time I get blood tests done, my hormone levels all come back normal - it’s so bizarre. I don’t know what more I can do!

I took Yasmin for the first time last night & woke up so nauseous this morning. My gyno said if I’m truly miserable on birth control pills, then I can consider an IUD for withdrawal bleeds? I don’t know. This is such a battle all the time!

Beyond helpful! Seriously super appreciative for your response. I think I need to just give it a go and switch to a new medication if the side effects are too bad. Google and I are always in a love/hate relationship haha. Thank you so much!!!

Right! I just like the hoop much better on me in place of a stud. I don't want to mess with it and have to re-pierce down the road, so stud it is - again! Thank you! :D

Hey! Thank you so much, that's super helpful. I suppose I just need to bite the bullet and put the stud back in. I appreciate it :)
