Tiffy Update: June 15, 2005

Tiffy's eye examination went well today. Her corneal ulcer has healed, but
there is slight blood vessel scarring. We will use anti-inflammatory
medication, the Interferon in Tears to try and reduce the corneal scarring.
The responsive of the corneal scarring can be unpredictable. This treatment
may take 1 to 2 months to respond. It is important that we closely watch her
eye for increased levels of ocular discharge, redness, blueness or
discomfort.

Medications:

- Lysine Powder: once daily. Increase to twice daily if Tiffy gets stressed.

- Zovirax Ophthalmic Ointment: Stop this medication for now, but use again 6
times daily if I am suspicious of another viral ulcer.

- Interferon A injections: Finish off the course. 3 injections left.
Administer once every three days.

- Interferon In Tears #1Rx: One drop to the left eye twice daily.

Tiffy has to return to the Eye specialist in 6 weeks time. I will give you
an update again at that time.

Thank you to all for your continuing purrs and support.

Purrs to all,
Flippy in Melbourne, Australia.
