the boy, zeke, is getting over ringworm.

hera just had some crazy scab come off her head but it looks nothing like ringworm. not red, not light in the middle, its just a scab.

now consuela is acting like she cant see. she constantly has fluid coming out of her eyes but its not mucous its just a lot of tears. the vet said she had a chlamydia outbreak and gave me ointment to put on her eyes twice a day for 10 days and an antibiotic that im giving her until its gone. her eye stuff has been gone for a while but shes still producing a lot of fluid. she scratches at things right in front of her face like she has no clue what it is until she touches it. also, on her left hip there is some kinda bump. its not a circle, its just kinda there. no discoloration, no redness, no hair loss nothing. just looks like a fatty tumor or something. didnt know if maybe these 2 symptoms could come together into one disease or if she just produced a lot of tears and had a fatty tumor. anything would be great.

My cat Homey had a similar problem. Her eyes just wouldn't stop leaking. I did as you are doing. I had to get a second dose of eye ointment for her, for it took a while for us to get rid of it.

Sounds like you are taking good care of your babies!

yeah the only problem is that in the past couple months we have spent almost $500 at the vet and cant really afford to take her back right now. and on top of that we lost one of our jobs (we have 3 all together, one is shared by both of us). which added up to about 600 a month. seems like they all get sick once we lose a big part of our income. so now my boyfriend is looking at working 80 hrs a week but im in school and work 2 jobs so yeah....that kinda took a different turn lol long story short. were looking for home remedies.
