And, there in lies the key. Keep that in mind at ALL TIMES!! She thinks a lot less about it than you do, especially since she is feeling better now.

Wishing her all the best on her eye follow up! And, for you as well with all of the other 'stuff' going on. 'Crap' (or, 'stuff', for lack of better words) does seem to come in droves.

LOL! we're having similar issues with 'rain/snow' in FL as well!!!

Update re the followup for our cat. Her lens was sharply scratched & this caused the Glaucoma.

Unknown how it was scratched as roommate keeps his elderly female cat in his room tho she can get out at times. Otherwise our cat may have gone down porch outside & had contact in apts courtyard, briefly, w/ a cat but dunno for sure as no evidence.

Eye doc says no, it was not a fall or kick type injury -- as g/f was hospitalized wk prior to me finding our cat very sick -- w/ the leaking eye & Glaucoma (& rushed her 8/15 to er vet) thus he said it was sharp trauma not blunt as in kick/falls, etc.


Also, integrity of other eye is good so just do a 6 mo. followup to see what it is like then. "It is NOT genetic Glaucoma link, as in this case", rather sharp cut said the lab as the result of the eye that was sent to U of Wisc. lab for eval. It was in fact sharp cutting-like & not blunt trauma.

TY all for keeping abreast of this situation I had develop a few wks ago.

Thanks for the update. That is good news under the circumstances!

True. Less ppl to blame as I'm playing detective & will solve this crime soon. But it won't give her eye back. But

FYI I need eval how/why/when if at all poss. re this.

I'm glad to hear her other eye is good! Thanks so much for the update!

If possible, you might want to consider converting her to a full-time indoor cat. That would help maybe?

TY both.

Yes, she really is full time inside yet often if we open front apt door she sneaks but only on porch she's older & wiser really most part. I think my roommate's cat has something to do w/ it & our cat & his -- do not get along. But it has been yrs together w/ them nothing new -- & unless in the chaos of g/f getting sick they met up in liv rm someway? I have no idea honestly after these cats spent several yrs together why/how all of sudden -- this occurred??
