Hi there, I'm new to this site and am turning to the forum for support and feedback.
My 10 year old calico has been diagnosed with chronic renal failure. We recently visited the vet to get a follow up check on her BUN and creatinine levels. I dropped her off in the morning and picked her up in the afternoon...all seemed pretty standard until I let her out of the carrier when we got home. She was really wobbly moving out of her carrier (not walking straight) and I noticed her right eye looked odd, with the whites appearing more that usual or turned up. Concerned, I called the vet and was told to take her back.
Upon further examination by the vet, I was told that K had what is called a third eye prolapse or Horner's syndrome, which may have been attributed to K having her ears cleaned.
Has anyone had experience with third eyelid prolapse occurrences and if so, is time the best treatment? K doesn't seem her usual peppy self and hasn't had much of an appetite. When she gets up to move, she's rather discombobulated, particularly her hindquarters. I'm already concerned over monitoring the CRF and am besides myself with worry now with this unexpected turn. I just want for K to be comfortable.
Thanks in advance.
