My cat, Marlow, went in to be neutered and have his left eye removed almost a week ago. Here are some pics of his visit in case anyone wanted to see them. The first link just shows how his eye was swollen but shut. The second is of surgery results, so don't click if you're squeamish about stitches. The third shows him as he is now, high on gabapentin in his pillowy donut cone/collar. But it also shows stitches, so be aware of that.
He got his left eye fused shut from a bad case of conjunctivitis when he was a kitten. The swelling was putting pressure on his eye, which was close to rupturing at the front, according to the vet. But both the surgeries went smoothly, and his recovery is going smoothly as well.

He looks like he’s tripping balls in that last pic! Wishing him a speedy recovery!
My beautiful boy passed another Good Citizen Dog assessment and got his silver award on Friday! I'm still absolutely buzzing this morning.
We walked into the hall on Friday and there was both a new dog he'd never met before and one of his best friends who he loves to bits doing it too, so the potential for distractions was off the charts but he came through when he needed to. He's also started a short course of meds to calm him down a bit but even without them he's shown so much improvement lately. Really proud of him.
