Cat with possible cysts in eyes
My leo (8yo Himalayan male neutered) has cysts inside his eyes.They seem to get bigger every year.The vet I took him to, said he needs an eye specialist.Will they be able to make him see more than shadows?What can they do for him? The vet said it was trama? Also, Leo marks everything. Usually were my partener's stuff, or special room is.They get along great. I don't understand. I keep the litter clean.I spray that feliway stuff around. I make sure he gets attention. Basically he is a very spoiled darling.Why does he ruin every place We live in by marking?I am terrified of putting him down. I know he isn't well though. his eyes are leaking like tears sometimes.Drainage is clear.His pupils are very dialated and it looks like he has a whiteish coating,but it could also be a reflection of the cyst inside his eyes.He has good and bad days.Some days he just lays around the house. He hasn't played in weeks now. Just stays close to me and sleeps and eats...and marks. He finds his way around ok.Sight seems to be the same. he got outside and ate some grass.He got fleas the one time he went out!Now I want to put advantage flea stuff on him.Is that okay? |

Cat moving house and not adjusting well
My cat and I moved into a new home. He now has three canine friends who he has spent time with before. One of the dogs was eating the felines stool, so I purchased the Purrforma self cleaning litter box. He would only urinate in it and chose to defecate on my side of the bed after 6 days. He attempted to defecate another time, I got him and placed him in the litter box, however that only worked once, and choose the bed again. Since then I purchased a new non automated litter box and returned him to his feline pine cat litter - that was two days ago and he has not eliminated anything sine. I have been leaving the bedroom door closed so he is not tempted. I'm just waiting for him to use it. any thoughts?
Should I lock him in a confined area until he uses it?
I need some advise or he might end up getting kicked out, and he is a special need cat as he has three fused lumbar (congenital defect.)
He is also doing an excessive amount of licking to the point where he has two balding patches. He just had an allergy shot 4 weeks ago. Should I inquire about behavioral modification type drugs?
