So we did the Shirmer tear test today to find out Noah's tear production level...it was still the same as last time, nearly none...therefore, he has to be on this eye medication for a while (can you believe it, a small tube of this eye medication called Optimmune is $50!!).
We will have to recheck his eyes again in a month, and hopefully this medication can help him restore his ability to produce tears again. I'm starting to wonder if I should take him to aan ophthamologist specialist to do more testing or wait and see....
We also have to be prepared for the fact that he might need to be on this medication and the artificial tear gel for the rest of his life~I'm sure he will hate me for that because he sooooo hates having things put in his eyes. He's always been very easy going and would let me do anything to him, but when it comes to putting the medicatinos in his eyes, he's getting more and more difficult about it...it will be a big challenge for the future~
He also made a nother poop today, but it was diarreha, so I have to stop giving him the lactulose (a medication to help soften his stools for his constipation).
Other than that, he's a happy little...well growing kitten so far~
We are all praying for him, Annly, and with you by his side we are sure he will make it. God bless, Connie
