My darling girl is having an eye removed today

[LilacpointMummy]

She had lots of teeth out a couple of weeks ago, and about a week after her left eye started swelling. She's been on lots of antibiotics and drops but it's still really bad.

She saw the vet opthalmologist today, and he has to remove it. I'm so devastated for her - she's only 4.

Also I'm not there - my DH and DD are but she's a total mummy's girl.

Thank you so much for asking @FlatArthur - she is doing really well.

She had her checkup with the opthalmologist yesterday and he was very pleased with how well she is healing. All the swabs he sent off came back negative for anything nasty, and apart from another week of antibiotics she is all done.

It will take a while to get used to how she looks - she has/had really beautiful bright blue eyes, but she is running around and climbing and cuddling her babies 😻

I'm glad to hear she's feeling better. All three of your cats are gorgeous.

😻That’s great news!

Hi, OP - I'm late to the thread, but I'm mum to a one-eyed wonder. His was removed when he was rescued from the streets at 6 months old. He's adapted brilliantly, it doesn't trouble him at all.

Here he is:

Peanutmeg he is gorgeous!

He's adorable!

@FlatArthur @Florissante Oh yes, he definitely is! And a good job too, because he is also an absolutely terror of a creatures. But I (and we all) love him to bits.

What a lovely cat @Peanutmeg !

Thank you for sharing - it is v reassuring.
My girl has healed really well and is back to her lovely cuddly self it is me who isn't ok 🤦‍♀️
I just can't stop thinking about how much pain she must have been in.

@LilacpointMummy How is she getting on today?

I have a one eyed girl too. She hated me for about a week after she'd had it removed like... you did this to me! Other than that, she was amazing. Cats are so adaptable.

My girl had beautiful eyes before too. She does look different, she's still beautiful. Just in a different way.

Thank you for asking - she's great. It's healed well and she has gained loads of weight.

She's much better than me - I am still in a bad way about it.

@LilacpointMummy That is wonderful news! Putting on weight it such a good sign, and she is still (of course!) absolutely gorgeous!

She's still beautiful.
