Hello
My 19 year old, male cat, Scusci was recently diagnosed with anterior lens luxation in his right eye. He also suffers from some renal deterioration. Recently he came down with another eye infection (first time was an eye ulcer) and is currently on buprenorphine 0.2ml - 2X's/day to control the pain. In consultation with the vet it was suggested that surgery for the eye removal, which was not recommended due to his age and renal deterioration or euthanasia. In spite of Scusci's age and functioning under a sedative, he is a cat with some vitality left in him. He eats, drinks, pees, poops, looks for affection, is responsive when spoken to, and manages to still watch out for his archenemy. My purpose and question is, since surgery is not viable, is there a solution that might control the pain and likely infection in his eye, rather than to euthanize him?
The suggested solutions to Scusci's eye problem are not making any sense to me. If anyone has a suggestion as to where I might find other answers to this question, please advise. Thanks.
