Today, Jim and I are celebrating another anniversary of a momentous occasion. Two years ago, Athena was declared cured of FIP<\/a>. Our little goddess is still living the good life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vet visit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let’s get the “business” out of the way first. Her most recent standard vet visit \u2014 May 15 \u2014 went fairly well. Beyond the standard check-up items, she was also having some eye infection problems, which have continued. At the time of her appointment, her left eye was on a second infection, just two weeks after finishing medicine to get rid of a previous infection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She only had one eye test this time, the Schirmer Tear Test<\/a> to follow up on her past eye issues. Her tear production was very low on both eyes again, 8mm on the left and 9mm on the right. However, it’s likely that the decrease was because she had an infection in her left eye. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Her weight has been fluctuating, almost certainly based on how much the boys have been bothering her at any given time, but she was 0.2 lbs up from the same time last year. I’ve been adjusting her food intake regularly based on if she seems to be gaining or losing weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She had several levels out of normal range, but several of them were almost certainly due to her eye infection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
