Not The Baby!

I am concerned about Kellie's health. Her left eye is very runny. I often have to clean off the boogers and junk off of her, (much to her dismay).

Also, Gerald has some sort of bug. It's pretty bad. He had a fun time trying to teach at work, when his brain is mushy with disease. Apparently, he kept pushing the wrong button and turning off the

Example: 250 mL over 2 hours is the same rate as 125 mL over 1 hour.

...this made my head hurt. I couldn't figure out how to explain it.

Yeah.

Aw, poor Kellie and Ger.

Runny eye can be a sign of upper respiratory infection, especially if it's accompanied by sneezing. Just the eye alone may be feline conjunctivitis so if it doesn't clear up on it's own in a couple of days you should consider a trip to the vet. They would probably prescribe a topical (on the eye) antibiotic, though if they think it's an uppper respiratory infection then they would prescribe something oral instead.

Generally, I usually pay $15 - $30 for a course of antibiotics (feline or canine) and I have a Banfield plan so I don't pay for office visits. If you don't already have a vet, you can generally expect about $30 for just the office visit, so make sure to ask when you call about bringing her in. Good luck to miss Kellie, and I hope she doesn't turn out to have something insanely expensive! (I hate that. I once had to pay $200 for xrays just so they could tell me they didn't see anything wrong with Damien at all.)

Dammit girl! Get your boy healthy! That means lots of sleep and lots of fluids and get some orange juice or apple juice or something other than diet coke. :P

Seriously though, he really needs to be in better health to come up here. Ohio is no place to be sick, especially since it's supposed to be back to winter next weekend. :(
