another vet visit

Today was the day we take Jane to another vet to get a second look. I was pretty nervous all day for Jane, i knew how she would react to going to another vet and I did not really want her to be drugged just so she could be looked at.

While I was getting her ready I have her some treats hoping that would calm her down at the vets. On the ride to the vet's it helped and while we were waiting she didn't make a noise. Once we were in the exam room and I went to pet her she hissed at me. When the assistant came in to talk to me Jane was acting up.

The assistant looked over the paperwork I had from the other vet and then took Jane to see the doctor. A couple minutes later Jane and the doctor were back in the exam room. I liked how this doctor just took the top off the crate Jane was in rather than trying to pull her out of the crate. He said sometimes it helps the cat calm down because she is use to the crate. Jane's attitude did not change but the doctor was able to get an okay look in her eyes and would like us to look at her eyes at home and take notes what we see.

The doctor said Jane has herpes and Uveitis. He said he has seen cases like this before in other cats and the medicine has cleared it up. So we left with 2 types of medicine - 1 pill and 1 gel that we have to give her twice a day. When we got home we tried the gel medicine which was a little hard.

I will keep you all updated with Jane's progress.
