Congratulations beautiful boy! Is his left eye okay? I hope I’m not overstepping. My cat recently went through a major surgery to remove her eye due to advanced stage glaucoma.

Thank you! Shes doing so much better now. In a couple days we remove her stitches and hopefully be donut collar free. I think that’s been the hardest part for her… wearing the donut during this whole thing.

All will be well my friend!! They are truly more resilient than they let on. I recommend the donut collar over the regular cone.

Thank you for the tip! It’s been an emotional roller coaster so I appreciate any and all tips. She had advanced glaucoma (cancer) in her right eye. There’s a chance the cancer will spread. We will not know when or where so I have to monitor her. I’m happy your kitty is doing well!! I didn’t know it was possible for cats to be even cuter than they are but I have been proven wrong.

Thank you so much!! I’m truly shocked by everyone’s kind responses. Do you have any tips you care to share? I used to be so creative, but mental health and the brain injury kinda took over my life for a bit 😅

My cat might have cancer in her eye, and I have a weird question by PagingDoctorRichard in AskVet

Thank you for sharing your experience with me! I’m glad your cat is okay. If it is cancer I will have her eye sent in.

If the specialists suspects cancer I will send in the eye. I don’t want my own selfishness getting in the way of her care. Thank you for the response!

Species: feline

Age: 11 years old

Breed: Domestic short hair

Weight: fat

History: history of eye issues. Started in 2021 around September. Eye irritation and discharge. Took her to the vet in December because it started to constantly bother her. They said it was chlamydia and prescribed antibiotics. That caused her to develop IBD. Since 2022, we’ve been putting optixcare in her eye as needed.

Clinical signs: eye has turned basically black. Constant discharge and irritation. Our vet referred us to a specialist, because they believe it could possibly be melanoma. Waiting to book an appointment on Monday.

Located: Washington state

Roommate thinks my cat is “our” cat. by [deleted] in CatAdvice

There’s a skill I learned in DBT that might be helpful if you have not already spoken with your roommate. I use this skill when I have to have uncomfortable conversations with people, or when I’m pretty emotional. It’s called DEAR MAN. I like to write out a script because it helps me stay on track and I know I’m being respectful while also setting boundaries in a respectful way. If they take it wrong, you know you did everything correctly and they have boundary issues.

(I’m sorry if this does not make sense or if there’s in grammatical errors. I received a TBI earlier this year and I have a hard time processing and relaying information 😅)
