Hi All. I am new to this group. I was refferred here by another member.
Heres my problem: On Tues 8-30 my cat received a blunt trauma to his
eyeball.The vet said he would probably lose his eye.HE also said that
the eye itself would probably shrivel up and then his eyelid would stay
closed on its own.Also said it looked like his lens was coming out...
Fluid is leaking out. ...He is on antibiotics and pain med. I am
wondering if anyone out there has been through this. Any advice would
be greatly appreciated. Thanks Terri


I have never been through this (although I have a wonderful cat that has
blind since birth). However, I want to urge you to get your cat to a
*specialist* ASAP. You cannot afford to take risks or delay in cases like
this. If possible, go to a feline ophthalmologist at a teaching veterinary
hospital (you will probably need a referral from your vet), but this is
*urgent.*

Please keep us updated.
