Cat with possible cysts in eyes
Question :
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?

Dog with problems walking
When I came home from work yesterday, Sparrow(6yo female neutered mix breed), who stays in my basement with access to the crawl space under the house, was having trouble going up the stairs. She seemed sick - hot nose & depressed. She has a knot midway up her tail about the size of a quarter. Her hindquarters are slightly swollen and tender. Her behind was dirty with dust, some fecal matter, and little black dots that looked like flea eggs (she doesn't have fleas - she's on med from the vet.) It seemed she had been dragging her bottom on the ground. My gut feeling is that she may have been bitten by a spider or god forbid a snake (in my basement?!!) but I'm also worried that she's hurt her back. She can still walk - even jump on the bed - but she is not moving correctly. She is still eating and drinking. She's not any worse this morning, but no better. She's not limping, but she acts stiff - is not moving her hind legs with ease, but I don't see where they look out of whack. For example, when she goes up steps, she just goes one step at a time, very slowly and carefully when she usually bounds & skips steps. It doesn't look like she's knuckling over, and her feet and legs look normal. Another thought after babying her this morning - she has had trouble in the past with her anal glands being blocked. Usually I try to massage & expel them when I bathe her. I haven't noticed her dragging her butt, which usually happens when her glands are filled and need expelling, but is it possible this could be the problem? Or constipation?
