    We just adopted a cat with a missing eye. Any recommendations on how to care for her? There appears to be some seepage from the socket. This is new territory for me.

    So I've had a pirate kitty for about 4 years, and as long as there's not other cats in the area you can basically treat your cat like a normal cat. If there are other cats around, your cat should be indoors most of the time as to prevent transferable infections. Also, your cat probably can't see from that side, so maybe don't surprise them if your cat is skittish.

    My cat got his eye injured in a cat fight and had to have a enucleation. The first week before getting the enucleation he would do walk circles to find his food and to get around places. Then he finally started walking straight again before the operation. Now after the surgery he is walking circles again to get around to places. Why is he doing it?

    Aristocat 12 Hi, i just sent my cat to remove her eye today, the total cost is around $900-1000, we also asked another vet and they asked for $1200-1500. We don’t have insurance for our cat so it is super expensive but we want to give her the best treatment we are also affordable. I know it might be the final choice for your cat to do the eye enucleation and it may get you very emotional, we all hope our little kids can get better sooner🐱

I’m upset the ophthalmologist didn’t offer any other options other than laying her to rest or keeping her comfortable, but denying her antibiotics for conjunctivitis, to die. She plays. She’s sassy. She’s tired some days. She’s eats and functions well for being 17 1/2 and was going up to everyone at the clinic, making friends, purring. She’s not dying. Did you find a solution?

    Some health issues are from genetics! My 8 year old cat has just been diagnosed with glaucoma and i was so shocked bc i thought older cats only get that and she only eats meat and drinks enough water, etc. But this glaucoma it's to do with her genetics and usually only starts to show when they are around 3-7 years old. It's truly a shock but goes to show not everything is in our control 🥲
