karrie Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Well, it is a he. His name is Mo. Per vet age is 4 to 6 weeks. The bad eye is a blind eye. Seems it is prolasped. He will remove it later. Mo goes back in 2 weeks for shots and check up on the eye. I'm to keep compressing the eye and applying antibotic ointment. His good eye has a scar. Hoping the ointment will help that as well. Has ear mites. Going to do the one time treatment. It is a little more expensive but with all the kitten has been thru already, I think a one shot deal would be best. If possible we will wait till time to neuter Mo before we remove the eye. But that depends on how the eye is doing though. I bought another rabbit pen and that is Mo's current home. He has room to move around, sleep quarters, food area and a litter pan. Best of all he can start getting acclimated to the household and still have his own secure space. This will work till he gets more strength and Molly adjusts to the little interloper. Later it can be turned into his bed. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc friend Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 He's a lucky kitty to have found you and your husband. Sorry about his eye but hopefully the "good" eye will heal and he'll do fine. Congratulations on your new family member! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixie_Girl Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Poor kitty! But lucky your hubby found him and brought him home! Keep us posted on his progress! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karrie Posted June 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 They are love with Mo. They keep wishing they could play more with him. But till his eye issues are resolved and till he gets a bit bigger , the kids will just have to deal with supervised and short play times. Being a baby Mo takes quite a few naps. lol Currently, Mo is sleeping on the back of hubby's neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Awwwww. Do keep us posted. Sounds like he's all set now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmetteabrakai Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 well isn't this a nice thread to catch. I love rescue stories. Sounds like the little guy landed in exactly the right place I'm sure he will do fine even with the eventual loss of his eye He is a lucky little dude even with that. I have a little long haired light orange kitten I found wandering on road,where I almost hit him. He was covered in fleas, had terrieble eye infections all the usual sick kitten stuff. He is the most adorable cat& terrizes the rest of my crew. But has never been over four pounds ever. I'm not sure if it was being mal nourised or what but he's tiny terror And I'm so glad to have him. Andrea D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
