Nym went to the vet today.

The doctor doesn't think she has a URI. But her eyelids are rolled in and causing irritation. This makes discharge which affects her sinuses. I have an ointment for her eyes twice a day and an antibiotic to clear of any infection. Her eyes are red and irritated. She could have surgery if she was bigger but she's too small,
at least for this doctor. I could see if a vet microsurgeon exists but it would cost more than I could afford. I hope the ointment can soothe her eyes. He liked that I feed her baby food and suggested I continue indefinitely. He suggested flax seed and/or fish oil for her skin. We already give her flax seed as a treat. She handled the vet visit very well, curious and being very cute. I'm proud of my girl and much less worried about her.

Thanks for all your help and advice.
