We have had quite a week. The cat had to have surgery for a growth on her eye lid. Was not looking forward to this as cats are such delicate creatures and this one is a real princess.
The stitching looks alarmingly large for what was not such a huge growth. I am glad we attended to it as it would have gotten bigger and bigger and surgery would have been more difficult as there is only so much skin to go around. Once this is healed up and the fur grows back, I don't think it will be noticeable. Apparently the growth was an out of control sweat gland which would have just kept growing.
Must say though, our old lady behaved like a trooper. While she was out of sorts and very likely sore, she managed to stay quite calm once back at home. I think the most upsetting thing was for her to have spent the day at the vet and the fact that she was missing some fur on the leg where they would have had a drip. She looked most freaked out when I picked her up.
A few days have passed by now and this is what this looks like
There is always something...

I'm glad your friend has had the growth removed and that she is on the mend. Interesting isn't it how much time and effort we spend on our four legged friends. They do become family members!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear your sweet cat had to have surgery, but glad she is such a trooper and will soon be fully recovered. Not fun, but you are right that it is best to deal with sooner than later. Please give her a cuddle hug for me.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, sending best wishes for a speedy recovery. Poor old puss, hope she is feeling better now.
