my fiv+ cat just had right eye enucleation today, and he is not liking the cone at all. he keeps trying to take it off and i am also very stressed about this because i’ve never had a cat go through this before so i’m very scared. does anyone have any tips on how to help him with the cone and to calm down? and any tips in general will be appreciated.
Hi everyone!
I adopted my cat, Itty Bitty, in February of this year from a local shelter. She is missing her right eye, and when I brought her to the vet he said that it looked like whoever did the enucleation didn't properly "tie up" all of the tissues and ducts. She still has a a teeny tiny hole where the eye was, and sometimes it gets a little ooey-gooey. We have no information on how the eye was lost.
We treated it with an eye-drop antibiotic because it looked a little infected at first. We discussed it in a follow-up appointment and he said as long as she doesn't get frequent infections (which I don't think she has) and it's not bothering her, it's okay to leave it be. For reference, she just turned 2.
Curious if anyone has experience with anything similar. Not looking for advice necessarily, just want to hear other experiences! Thank you!
Hi I’m new to having a one eyed cat but was curious if any ones cats eye constantly waters? My cat’s eye also has brownish jelly in it at times. I give him medicated eye drops but nothing changes.
