This is my first post here.
I have 9 yr old cats- they are brother and sister- Milo and Roni.
Roni was just diagnosed with cataracts in her left eye. I noticed when the light shined on her eyes- the left one was suddenly lighter and a bit cloudy so I took her to the vet- where she was diagnosed.
The Vet said they can operate to correct it- but told me it wasn't necessary since she's an indoor cat and losing sight in 1 eye won't effect the quality of her life.
But I have to admit- I feel bad and almost guilty for not fixing her sight- when I can.
Does anyone have opinions or experience with this sort of surgery?
Like I said- I feel bad if I don't do anything- but if the surgery is dangerous or risky- then maybe it is better to leave well enough alone.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks
Mike
