I have had a cat once before who ended up with one eye, his cornea had flipped and his eye had to be removed. He never acted like he was missing anything. Right now I am very glad to have had that experience so I have little worries about her being one-eyed. I did ask the vet about cancer, and she feels that the tumor is not cancer related, and that I should not worry about that. My husband asked me if there is such a thing as a tumor not being cancer, and I realized that I have no idea. I told my boss at work today about the surgery and was surprised that she offered me the day off (she is NOT an animal person). I will keep you all posted as soon as I know anything. I appreciate all of your thoughts, prayers and support. This is especially hard with my mother living 2000 miles away and not being able to be here for me.
Thank you all, Chris From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of wendy Sent: Monday, September 10, 2007 7:48 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: Question about eye ulcers -Update Chris, Prayers that little Kaylee's surgery is a success. I'm sorry you guys are going through this. I never even considered a tumor when I read your posts. Did the vet think that the cancer will be limited to the eye only? I sure hope so. Our Smookie only has one eye and she does great. She doesn't even know she only has one eye! So Kaylee should do just fine being a pirate! Please keep us posted tomorrow or soon after if you get a chance and let us know how she does. She's lucky to have you in her corner! :) Wendy "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world - indeed it is the only thing that ever has!" ~~~ Margaret Meade ~~~ ----- Original Message ---- From: Chris Behnke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Sent: Saturday, September 8, 2007 7:33:43 PM Subject: Question about eye ulcers -Update Well, after spending over 2 hours at the vets this morning, it turns out that Kaylee does not have conjunctivitis, herpes or a corneal ulcer. What she does have is a tumor. She will be going into surgery on Tuesday to have the tumor and, unfortunately, the eye removed. I am very worried about this since I have heard so many horror stories about FeLV+ cats not making it through surgery. Please say a prayer for a successful surgery, removal of the tumor and a good recovery. Thanks, Chris No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
