    Daisy needs an operation for Entropion

    Our Daisy has the Chlamydia virus which causes her to have an eye infection every so often. Usually she needs ointment and very occasionally, antibiotics.

    Last weekend we took her to the vet to get her checked and get some ointment, and the vet said that her eyelids were turning in the way (a condition called entropion) which means that the eyelashes stick into the eye causing further irritation.

    She is booked in to have surgery on Monday. A little slice is taken from the skin above and below the eye which corrects the way the eyelid is lying. Afterwards she will need to wear a cone. I don't know how she will react to that! I'm not looking forward to this. Poor baby.

    Aaawwww...poor Daisy.

    But if it keeps her from having further problems, it will be for the best in the long run.

    Skritchies and smoochies to her in the hopes she'll be a good girl and not fight the cone too much.

    I've never had to deal with a cone! Poor Daisy.

    Best wishes for a speedy recuperation (to both of you!)

    Poor baby Daisy.

    Hoping she recovers quickly and that she doesn't mind the cone.

    When Bam Bam had her cone on for 10 days following her spay. I used to allow her a 5 minute review a day whilst she sat on my knee, so I could stop her scratching her stiches. It gave Bam Bam a chance to groom etc.

    I hope Daisy's surgery goes well and that she recovers quickly.
    I wouldn't enjoy wearing a cone either.

    Oh no, Poor baby. However, if it will help her then it is worth it.

    Here's to hoping for a speedy recovery and that she is a good kitty patient while she is recovering.

    Keep us updated.

    Poor Daisy, hope all goes well for her, did they give you any indication of how long the cone will be on (stupid question I suppose it all depends on how quickly she heals !!)

    Give her {{{HUGS}}} from baby sis Bonnie and of course {{HUG}} for you too

    I hope she does well with her surgery. How long will she have to wear a cone? I bought Bassett a special cone off the internet that didn't seem to bother her at all. Here is the link:

    The company was great. They even phoned me at home to confirm they had my address written out correctly. If she will have to wear it for a while, you might want to try something like that out.

    Best of luck!

    Poor Daisy. It will be worth it though to relieve her pain. Will be holding you all in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow. Do keep us posted how well she (and you) are holding up.
