6/26/23 – (See June 5 post) as reporter by his rescuer and foster dad:

” 6/17/23 – Interesting visit at Patterson today. The doctor thinks Little Jimmy may be female, but of course it’s too early to know for sure. He tested negative for feline leukemia. They gave me an ointment for the eyes vs the eye drops the other vet gave me. The vet said give the eye ointment until it runs out and check back in 4 weeks unless something comes up sooner. The bad is the vet said feline herpes conjunctivitis, pretty much blind in both eyes, hopefully the redness will just scar over and not get worse.

Little Jimmy does an amazing job seeing around the eye issues when I watch him playing, etc. The doctor said there is a possiblity of eye removal, bulging and popping eyes, but she seemed hopeful that in little Jimmy’s case the eyes would stabilize and the red in the eyes would scar over and he would be blind in both eyes. But even though she said he is blind in both eyes, he seems to see pretty good. Considering the infection, he does great with finding his litter box, food bowls, his bed, climbing and playing with his toys. A very affectionate little fellow. I think I can continue to foster him/her, at least for now. Regards, Paul.”

Little Jimmy will have a follow up appointment with our great doctor at Patterson Veterinary Hospital and I’ll update everyone. Little Jimmy will be looking for a furever home so please share and follow his progress. Please continue your prayers. – diana
