History - She was adopted from petsmart on her last legs. They gave her to me because they thought she was going to die within the week. It had been 6 months but she still has eye problems and two abscess like bumps on her head. She is on ciprofloxacin and she was on vetropolycin but I stopped that because it was just making things worse. She has a vet appointment at a new place this wednesday, hopefully she will get the bumps on her head removed and cleaned and her eyes taken care of. she also needs to be hand fed.
