    Horner’s Syndrome after Ventral Bulla Osteotomy

    Hi everyone, I recently came across this wonderful community while researching about Ventral Bulla Osteotomy surgery and Horner’s Syndrome. I tries to search for these two topics together to find a thread where it was discussed, but I couldn’t really find the answer(s) I was wanting. Please...

    Ventral bulla osteotomy

    So on Tuesday, Maxine is going to the vet and we are going to discuss going through with the ventral bulla osteotomy. I'm hoping this will cure her chronic ear infection, once and for all. I have some questions about the surgery itself and also recovery. I was wondering if anyone else has any...

    Scared not eating - dental- anesthesia

    ...a big deal for her. But that recovery was a bit slower than the others due to the number of teeth removed. At 16, she had a ventral bulla osteotomy—they cut a hole in her jaw to drain a particularly bad inner ear infection. She came through that just fine too. If Yoshi’s bloodwork is good...

    Horner’s syndrome in 11 year old cat

    ...I will definitely speak to the neurologist tomorrow when I pick her up. And yes, she did say that the surgery would be a ventral bulla osteotomy. If the antibiotics were n out making a difference, we would absolutely get her scheduled for surgery, I would just hate to prematurely put her...

    Horner’s syndrome in 11 year old cat

    ...think two weeks is a reasonable balance between “give it time” and “let’s not be too stubborn here.” The surgery is likely a ventral bulla osteotomy. The surgeon would cut a hole in her jaw and drain her inner ear like an oil drip pan in a car rather than puncturing her eardrum. It’s...

    Horner’s syndrome in 11 year old cat

    I would say Krista was well on her way to recovery. Sadly, that wasn’t the only thing she was dealing with. She had GI lymphoma. About two months after her surgery, she got a bladder infection that proved too much for her already immune-suppressed and cancer-wasted body. 😿🌈 This was her a...

    Sudden vestibular issue in our blind cat

    Did she have any inner ear infection symptoms? Our Lucy has been acting 100% fine. Hasn't even had running eyes or scratching her ears or anything. Great appetite and she had blood work and an exam 2 months ago.

    Sudden vestibular issue in our blind cat

    ...to be a severe middle ear infection. She got to come home for a day and a night before she went back again for the surgery (ventral bulla osteotomy) to drain her ear. Thankful once more for insurance. In her case, doing nothing most likely would have resulted in the infection backing up into...

    Sudden vestibular issue in our blind cat

    Indy has the idiopathic version, the vet gave me the option to take her to a specialist for a CT scan and mri or wait and see, I took the later and other than her head tilt she's perfectly fine, she just has a bad gyroscope.

    Elderly angel - potential stroke

    ...her evaluated at the same clinic. It turned out to be a bad, deep inner ear infection. She had to undergo an operation, a Ventral Bulla Osteotomy. She made a full recovery in about two weeks and was fine from there on. If I were you, I would have your kitty examined further by a...

    Chronic ear infection

    ...She just shakes her head more often if I haven't cleaned her ear in more than a couple days. So the vets solution is a ventral bulla osteotomy. Which is incredibly expensive. I can't afford it. Not to mention it is a very scary and invasive surgery. What I'm wondering is if that surgery is...

    Sudden vestibular issue in our blind cat

    The day I first noticed it, Indy was in her room and I heard a crash, an industrial shelf (which has since been moved to the garage/workshop) had fallen on it's front and indy was laying between the shelves, I picked her up and moved her and she was acting like a drunk. Kept falling and bumping...

    Options for ear polyps?

    My Krista had the ventral bulla osteotomy surgery for a severe middle ear infection. In her case, it was that or intentionally rupture her eardrum. She went into the surgery wobbly. She came out less wobbly over time. If that was her only worry, I’m sure she would have made a full recovery...

    Krista's Care

    This is spectacular news! I'm so glad for you and Krista. And believe it or not, a Ventral Bulla Osteotomy isn't really that bloody. Not the one that I watched, anyway. It's oddly satisfying watching the polyps and "junk" being removed. Then again, I recorded my partner's ingrown toenail...

    Horners Syndrome And Not Eating!! Please Help :(

    My Krista just had a surgery (ventral bulla osteotomy) to drain her middle ear infection. While she didn’t develop Horner’s this time, she is still wobbly and is expected to be on an antibiotic for at least a month. The inner ear doesn’t get good blood circulation because it’s basically...

    Krista's Care

    I think the thing with that video was not watching the procedure itself. But watching it while I'm waiting and worried about it being performed on Krista at the time. I might very well go back and watch it once I'm less worried about Krista. But seeing how much fur will be shaved from Krista...
