Don't feel alone, Val. I have had the itchy eyes today too and I am on the central coast of California. It got worse after I took little Nacho to the vet.

When I got back from England, I noticed something funny about the iris of his right eye. Took him it today. The good news is that in the last 3 weeks while I was away and he was on ' Tubby Tabby Food", he lost a pound. The bad news is that the Vet does not know what is wrong with the eye. Initial exam shows a partial detached retina. But what the " bubble" in the iris is she can't tell. So I have to take him to Camarillo ( about 2 hours from here) to see a specialist. Worst case is cancer in the eye, best case..just some sort of cyst in the iris. So gang..a few prayers for the kitty are in order...last fall it was Yummie, this spring Missie had an early basal cell skin cancer removed and now little Nacho...has a problem. He is just a sweetie too...loves to polish your shoes with his little declawed paws..feels like a massage. HE is sitting here near me, kind of quiet at the moment. NOrmally he is quite social....The earliest I can get him in in 8 July at 1:30 and it will cost 160.00 just for the initial consult and exam. Anyother tests can range from 15 to 30 bucks per test...and then meds if any are necessary....I'm feeling kinda low right now......:( I really did not need to come back from a whirlwind wonderful trip to face this crisis.
