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.

RE: Question about eye ulcers -Update
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.

Re: Question about eye ulcers -Update
Yes, there are tumors that are non cancerous. But it is my understanding, in people anyway, that any tumor in the brain is automatically considered cancer for some reason. I could be wrong on this. I was told this from my friend who has a tumor on her pituitary gland, which has since sprung a baby. She has named thempete repeat. Great gal. Usedtowork w/her @ the AHS in the clinic, very dedicated to the animals. Went towork for the HSUS on movie sets,now she regulates the animal usage in films. The stories she can tell :) After Katrina she took sometime off tohelp in New Orleans, was trained to do water rescues. I need to email her. Susan J.

Re: Question about eye ulcers -Update
Oh ChrisI'm so sorry to hear this! Kaylee will be in my thoughts and prayers totally. This isn't something to stomach very well as I know. But there are cats/kittens that do make it through the surgery without any complications. Miracles do happen! My experience with this is you become a nervous wreck over this. Sorry for being straight forward about this. It's not easy dealing with something of this nature. Please read my pet memorial below my Angel Taz he had the same thing.
