Iapos;ve been sick myself this past week with a bad flu, so havenapos;t been updating.� So, this will be short, as Iapos;m still under the weather.
Booapos;s stitches came out last Saturday, but the swelling never went down and she ended up in the vet hospital for 3 days/2 nights for observation.� She just came home this afternoon, but next visit is Tuesday - and along with the 4x daily drops, 2x daily oral meds, I now have to give her a steroid shot every 48 hours.� He showed me how to do the injection, though it does give me the willies to puncture skin, so I may need to taxi her over on Monday for another instructional session.
The steroid shots bring the swelling down, but lasts only about 40 hours...we need to keep up the meds long enough to get the swelling down and allow some healing - right now, sheapos;s kinda� back at Square One.
The�vet is calling a cat opthalmology specialist in Vancouver on Monday and hopes to get some new ideas.�He is convinced itapos;s treatable, but we just havenapos;t hit on apos;theapos; treatment yet.� I may end up having to fly down with Boo for her to have treatment there, though my vet says donapos;t pack just yet.�
Her eye still has a small crescent sized ulcer on it - about 1/20 of the original, but there nevertheless. �It was hoped that the drops would make it shrink and disappear this past week, but it didnapos;t.� And the constant swelling prevented it.� As well, she now has a few blood vessels developing on the cornea - and the cornea isnapos;t supposed to have blood vessels - so itapos;s a mess. The lesion inside the conjunctiva has apos;disappearedapos;, but now he feels itapos;s an auto-immune problem -- and auto-immune problems are often just hit and miss to find treatments....
So, itapos;s frustrating and increasingly expensive - but I need to do this for her, to give her a quality of life.� I wonapos;t put her down, and Iapos;m grateful every waking minute for a loan I got from a caring friend, who is allowing Boo this chance. (Excess funds are in a short-term-deposit for safekeeping and inaccessibility, though itapos;s available in emergencies.)
I would say just remove the eye, but the vet�says that is major surgery and a total last resort, and heapos;s still got some optimism that a treatment for Boo exists.��
We just have to find it.�
Update on legalities:� The�Superior Court in Ontario has now received my application package for the required certificate to�settle Frankapos;s bank account issues - so now, we wait.��We are expecting it to�be rejected since Iapos;m not�currently a resident of Ontario, though I used a proxy Ontario address on the forms.� So,�we wait to hear.� If rejected, then it really will need to wait til Iapos;m back East.
Update on Moving:� Not budging til Boo is�cleared for travel and big change.��Iapos;m not going without her, and she canapos;t fly right now.
Update on Work:� Still editing books, but this is the slow season...I got another call from YTG about an 8 month �term job possibly starting soon, til next July - so Iapos;ll see if I can schedule it around Booapos;s meds.� I would have interviewing and testing to do first, and thereapos;s no guarantee Iapos;d be offered it in the first place.��But it might�mean Iapos;m here til next summer, which would allow Boo time to get regulated.
