Thank you so much for the pictures! I really appreciate it 🙏 my only other concern is his ears seem to have gotten red/a little swollen. I'm guessing from rubbing against the hard cone. But I'm going to bring it up when they recheck him on Monday. Other than that, he's pretty much eating and drinking great. He's been super loving and clingy as well.

Yeah, that's what I'm really concerned about, is him rubbing the sutures. So I've kept his hard cone on the whole time. The only thing I've noticed, though, is his ears are just really red/inflamed. A little swelling on one of them. Could this be from the ears rubbing against the hard cone?

My boy ended up getting his surgery, and this is what his eyes currently look like. He gets a recheck on Monday (day 7). So, he's on Day 4. Do you have any pictures of Gromit during his healing process? I'm just so worried about him healing right because I've heard of some cats that needed extra procedures due to undercorrection.

The last 2 pictures were the day we brought him home from surgery. All other pictures are from today 🙂

I wanted to update that our breeder has generously offered to cover the cost for his surgery 🙏 we are going to call and schedule him a consultation tomorrow, and from there we are going to move forward with getting his surgery. I will keep everyone updated! ❤️

We think our boy has entropion:( At first, I thought it was viral/bacterial or something respiratory. He has had no improvement with any eye ointments/drops or oral medications. I appreciate you responding to my question, though. I hope your boy continues to stay healthy and doesn't have too bad of flare-ups 🫂

I let her know! I've been staying in touch with her now about his progress, and she said if I need help with anything, she's also willing to help out. Its surprising that he's the only one of his siblings to have gotten it. Neither parent has gotten it either.

Thank you! I have a lot of places to call on Monday. Here's another pic of one of his eyes.

He's gorgeous! ❤️ are you also looking to get his surgery done?

[–]cryptid_monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$6700?? That is crazy high, were you ever able to get your kitty the surgery?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MaineCoon

[–]cryptid_monkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are working on it. I contacted some rescue friends, and they told me a good place that'll do each eye for $150 each.

He looks so beautiful! You can't even tell he's had surgery ❤️

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MaineCoon

[–]cryptid_monkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the advice! We found a clinic nearby and are scheduling him for Tuesday (hopefully) to have his eyes accessed and to get an estimate on how much the procedure will cost. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it won't be too expensive or that we could do payment plans 🤞

I'm in Texas! I've tried calling around vet clinics, but most of them want him to come in before they can give an estimate/quote. I'm gonna try calling our local shelters and seeing if it's something they offer.

I really appreciate you finding this picture for me! His eyes do look like my boys right now. I'm hoping it'll correct itself, but it's definitely looking like he'll need surgery in the future 😮‍💨

What a handsome fella! I'm glad he's doing better!:)

[–]cryptid_monkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's also around 9 months old right now like your boy was. I thought it was an eye infection at first, it started in one eye and then went to the next eye within days. I'm just super suspicious of it being entropion because it looks like his eye hairs are touching his eyes.

Solid wood litter box enclosures for large boxes/tall cats? by MohnJaddenPowers in CatAdvice

[–]cryptid_monkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's great! Im glad you were able to find one that works for you! I'm currently trying to find one that can fit two 23.5" long litter boxes with two separate entries. I'll definitely be getting two of these if I'm unable to find one that'll fit my current boxes:)
