I came home determined to be more positive about everything and lasted less than a minute. Kira has loads of new lumps (the ones that turn into spots and scabs and sores) over bboth eyes. It is all red and inflamed and that is WITH the steroid jab still active. I am at a loss what to do.
We started the food trial this morning so it can't be the new food.
We have started putting them back together so Fiki may have helped cause it.
It could be stress related as she was very stressed 2 days ago when she went to the vets.
I just don't know but I have had a good cry and don't feel any better about it.
The page here is one I did for Mel and Jill last month at ATDML and was using a paper that would have scared the hell out of me. It still scared me a little bit, but as luck would have it I had just come back from California and had a picture of some surfers. I ended up loving it, though I would never have chosen the paper. That is what I love about being on a design team. You have to think outside your comfort zone and when you are an old stick in the mud like me it is a really really good thing.

I am sure you have thought of it, but is there anything at all in the room you keep Kira in that has changed, bought any new furniture, cleaned the carpets, put a smelly in the hoover, cleaned the curtains, just wondering if she is licking anything that may cause her condition.
I am thinking of yoy

Poor you, too much stress, what a worry. It does occur to me that perhaps over time, Kira's developed an allergy to Fiki's spit???? I know it's a long shot, almost ridiculous, but desperate Mums reach for anything......

Not sure if you already have it or if your vet has mentioned it but there's a plug-in diffuser style thing called Feliway that's meant to release some smell to de-stress your cats.
Hugs to you all x

So sorry to hear about poor Kira - what a tough tie you are all having lately. Sending loads of (((hugs))) to you all - essential oil of lavender is the best de-stress I know - 1 drop in a saucer of warm to hot water and leave it in the room - it always worked for my moggies as well as me. Thinking of you all and praying for Kira.
