So I trotted Thomas off to the vet, because my vet had mentioned in the past that perhaps they could "flush his tear ducts." At the time he was last in, they did not have a small enough canula for his tiny ducts. When I brought him in for his pre-adoption check up (booster shots, FeLV/FIV testing again) the vet noted that he should have a dental too (argh! Why do cats have to have teeth!) and sent him home with eye meds that have a steriod in it, and told me to massage the corners of his eyes after applying.
So I brought him in the next day and they put him under, flushed his tear ducts, and extracted THREE teeth. Home he came with Clavamox, and pain relief, in addition to his eye meds.
Anyone who knows Thomas will be astonished at his pretty eyes now! Normally he has eye crusties at the corners:
He is in fact even friendlier than before, apparently not being concerned about me stuffing pills down his throat and meds in his eyes.
Tubbs was at the vet, too, but not because he needed treatment. We had him in our off-site adoption cage, and indeed, he may have used his cute face and kneading paws to pull in a Cornell grad student who is interested in adopting him (even though he was hiding under a towel when she came to see him).
Marimba and Ben also have prospects. Hopefully we'll be reporting on them, soon!
