It has been a long time since I have visited this site, but I know tha when I come here I always find support when my cats are sick. Today my Isaac had to have his eye removed. He has had a brown spot in his eye for a long time. Over the last few months it had gotten larger  & then he developed a whole bunch of small spots. A trip to the specialis confirmed my worst fears, possible iris melanoma. So he had his eye removed today. Now I have to wait for the pathology report to find out for sure what was causing the brown spots. Please send good thoughts that my Isaac to be OK. He is going to be 8 next month, too young for me to lose.

For a good report.

Did you post some photos of those spots at one time?  It seems like I remember something about it...

I may have posted photos. I had several vets tell me it was no big deal, but my new vet sent me to the eye specialist who said it was probably early stages of melenoma.

AW hun - I am so very sorry for you and your sweet Isaac. You are a good momma and don't worry, Isaac will recover and have a very normal life. I am just sorry he had to go through this - but the eye had to be removed due to the cancer... :hugs: :rub: Hope he recovers quickly :vibes::vibes::vibes::vibes::vibes::vibes::vibes:
