What a lovely connection to have!
A lovely story.
Time for a wee update
Arthur has been back and forth to the vets the past few weeks, each time very poorly, overnight he would just go down hill
We have had every diagnoses under the sun, the best?? being a wasp sting
This morning we were advised that perhaps we had done enough 
This afternoon we saw a specialist
Until his ulcers clear again they cant be certain but its looking to be feline herpes or if not something to do with the inner eyelid being the wrong shape
So he’s home again, he has his own serum removed from his blood to drop in his eyes, antibacterial drops and lubricant to be put in every two hours around the clock and he’s back under house arrest
If its Herpes then he will get antiviral drops forever, if its inner eye lid its an op
Either way what ever it is, it means its manageable
Poor wee mite has had such a rough start in life he deserves every chance
I have to admit to getting pretty pissed off with the vet this morning saying what they said. :twisted:
The main thing is that it can be managed Missy. I was expecting the worst when I saw your update. Poor thing though, he must be sick of it and sick of the vets too.
Awww Longdogs, he’s pitiful to look at
Hes lost so much weight and he’s so lethargic and sore
Hes only just two so Ive got to try to do what we can for him but omg its so hard watching an animal be so poorly 
Missy I feel so sorry for you. Having dealt with sick cats over the last 40 years I know how upsetting it is.
I have never had one with eye problems, so I can offer little advice, but I know how much he means to you so I will been keeping my fingers crossed for a good result.:hug:
Poor Arthur, I hope something can be done to help him
I’m so sad to catch up with this thread I thought Arthur was on the mend and back to his old self. So sorry things have regressed I hope something can be done for him he has been through so much.
Poor puss. Missy I feel for you - I really do. There is nothing worse than watching a pet suffer and feeling helpless because they cannot say where it hurts most. Cats are very resilient though and they are also very intuitive - Arthur will know that he is loved and that is so important for a good recovery.
Missy I am sorry to hear Arthur is still poorly we feel so helpless when our pets are ill don’t we.
I hope he improves soon…
Finally Arthur has just been given the all clear from the vet 
Its been a long slog and must have been so painful for him, but right now, this very minute, no eye ulcers to be seen 
We have to keep up with the antiviral drops for another month and keep him on the supplement for life but its a small price to pay to keep his eyes clear
He may still need a small op to remove some dead tissue thats been left behind but we are hoping that will dissolve itself as the op will cause another ulcer
So right now he’s very happy as he went to the vet and came out again without getting a jag and Im happy because we have got to this stage
Lovely looking fellow. Hope he mends.
That is wonderful news, Missy, you and Arthur must be equally relieved.
Fantastic News Missy. Well done Arthur me boy.
Heres Arthur today in this weeks chosen snooze spot
He still has dye around. his eye from todays examination, and his fur under his neck is still raggedy from having his bloods removed but I still think he’s a handsome chap
Well done Arthur and Missy.
Wonderful what knowledge, patience, and lots of tlc can do. 
Gorgeous little chap Missy… I’m so glad he is back to full health.
Great news, Missy
That’s brilliant news for you, Missy.
I must say, Arthur looks a very strong, healthy cat.
Glad Arthur’s doing so well Missy
