Link always enjoys the view on car rides.
My rescue had cateracts surgery in both eyes in 2017. we were prescribed diclofenac dye drops daily to prevent glaucoma and other conditions. As of this morning i am noticing severe squinting in his right eye. I have noticed his vision declined recently. I am seeing his eye specialist this week. I feel responsible because I have been dropping the ball on his daily eye drops. He has other health conditons (seizures but seizure free for 4 yrs now etc) so over the years i have been so busy with those more pressing conditions and raising kids that I have been very inconsistent with his eye drops. I feel terrible and scared of the next steps. Any advice?
He wanted people to think he was a pirate.
Last October I rescued a kitten. He had ulcers in both eyes, unfortunately he lost one of them and it became sunken in.
We were told by the vet to wait until he was a bit older to have the eye removed and sutured shut.
Today was the surgery. I got post op instructions (antibiotics and pain meds as well) from the vet, but I’m still worried about my little man. I want to make his recovery as comforting as possible.
The cone given by the vet was awful, so I went to a pet store in my city and got a couple to try, ones that seem more comfortable.
Tips for be wonderful!
