Olivebean is back from the vet. She's on the standard Terramycin/Clavamox cocktail. He also dosed her with some eye numbing stuff, and I saw an immediate upswing in her mood-- she's now happily chowing away on her food, whereas this morning she had no interest whatsoever. She was in terrible shape this morning-- eyes crusted shut (have you ever had to wipe the face of a very cranky kitten?) and then the red membrane covering most of the iris.
She seems more content now, but she'll be quarantined to the bedroom for a week to reduce her stress level and make sure she gets lotsa rest without the other kitties trying to "help" her. (Nox knows she's pretty much OCD when it comes to cleaning everything in sight, so when she hadn't cleaned herself in two days, he tried to do it, which earned him a swipe on the nose.) She should be fine.
Now I just have to worry about the other kitties trying to break in. Nox is ramming the door right now, because he knows Olive has food and despite the fact that he gets fed three times a day, he is starving to death.
