Lion is ill. The only symptom he is having is a heavily watering one eye but our doc is sure that it's a come back of calicivirus. Lion is taking an immune enhancing drug and eye drops, and there is really nothing more what can be done at the moment. He is tired with all the fuss around him and fed up with his watering eye. The best thing to do is sleeping, preferably on me or just next to me. Like now.
But I don't see And I don't feel But tightly hold up silently My hands before my fading eyes And in my eyes Your smile
I mistook stars reflected in a pond at night for those in the sky.

Oh yes, they did, they both took them all but as Lion got infected as a little kitten before his first shot, most likely he will be a carrier and not fully immune for all his life. It could have been also the herpesvirus, we didn't check which one of them exactly. But basically it's the same story. The vaccinations only help to go through infections easier and more mildly.
Today, during the day, I was worried. It seemed to me that the eye looked worse and the little fellow felt worse either. So I decided to start the antibiotic. Our vet doc gave me a prescription and left the decision to me whether to use it or not depending on the eye's condition in the following few days. Even my friend whom I was talking to via internet, after having seen Lion in the camera, said that the eye looked swollen.
I called my pharmacy to ask whether they had the medicine (it's a human one). It turned out that they neither had it, nor were able to order it from the wholesaler. The medicine practically vanished from the market. It happens quite often with many different meds nowadays. So I was looking it, calling and checking many pharmacies on the internet. Finally I found it in a far from home part of the town. Right after my work I went there and very happy bought the eye drops. The last packet they had, btw. It took me almost three hours but that was for Lion after all.
In the evening when I examined the little guy very thoroughly his eye looked... really better. It really is, the whole cat seems to be better as well. It makes me very happy but I don't know what to think so I'm holding off on the antibiotic till tomorrow. I'm going to call our doctor.
Cats are wonderful creatures, aren't they?

When I kissed my dog this morning, he groaned and placed his paw on my face and pushed it away from him ! I was slightly insulted that he rejected my kisses, but at the same time it was hilarious!
