Omlet cube and run

Just back from taking my 5 year old Black Rock Popcorn to the vets. She has been having recurrent problems with her eye and over last week it's got lot worse. She wouldn't open her eye at all, but apart from that she is eating/drinking etc as normal. She is being kept in for exploratory assessment tomorrow as the vet believes it may be a tumour. The eye smells so bad and it looks like a growth on the inner eyelid, but unless she is knocked out they can't see it properly. They are going to call me tomorrow and let me know the options. It'll either be, remove tumour or eye or as she is an old lady, put her to sleep

I feel so bad leaving her at the vets knowing I might not see her again.

That sounds unusual. Hope she's OK.

*Update*

 

Popcorn is about to have the growth removed. Still might lose her during next 24 hrs but fingers crossed!

Ooh, fingers crossed for Popcorn, hope she comes through it OK

[Egghead68]

Fingers crossed.

Any news on Popcorn ?

[Shiney Chez]

She's had tumour removed successfully. Going to be on antibiotics. She is still at the Vets and should get an update tomorrow morning. Hopefully she will be ok and I can bring her home. Thanks for all the well wishes! X

Fingers crossed she makes a good recovery.

Oh, that sounds promising. Fingers crossed.

Pleased to report that Popcorn is home after sucessful removal of growth/tumour. She is back with the rest of the girls happily digging and generally enjoying the sun. She has to have Tylan for next five days but apart from that, all is great!!!

[Egghead68]

Great news!!

Popcorn had to be taken back to the Vets tonight as the eye was gunked up and closed today. Bathed it with cold tea which helped her open it. Vet has prescribed eye drops twice a day to ensure it doesn't get gunked up again. Hopefully it will sort it out once and for all!!

[Egghead68]

I hope that sorts it out.
