First let me say that I really really like this vet!! He was very good with Magoo as well as hubby and I.
He drained Magoo's eye but he suggested that we let him operate and open it up again and take a look in there. He expalained that there are two parts to the eye cavity. One part has the tear ducts and the back part holds some gooey sticky stuff. He said that if any portion of that was missed then it can still produce the fluid. Once he withdrew the fluid he felt it and said that it was not sticky at all and he THINKS that it could be a portion of a tear duct was missed and it's still producing liquid. Jan (QSA) told me to ask about this but he said it before I could ask. Jan you should have been a vet!!! Anyway, he said all the right things!! Like, I'm sure this is hard on him when he doesn't know where he is, and I bet he's just fine at home where he knows where things are isn't he? He never once acted like Magoo should have been put down! I was so happy!!!
He was gentle and kind and talked to Magoo. He was also willing to do whatever we thought was best. He said we can continue to drain it if that is what we chose to do. He said he would drain it today and we could think about what we wanted to do and let him know. He also said he would not keep Magoo over night since it would be hard on him if we did that. I LOVE THIS GUY!!!
He was also reasonably priced I thought. I asked him how much the surgery would cost and he said that would depend on the cuss factor!! He said it would be $125 unless it caused him to cuss a lot and the worst case would be $175.
Hubby and I discussed it on the way home and I think we are going to do it. We will have to wait until one of us can get a day off of work but we don't want to wait too terribly long because more scar tissue will just continue to build up. We will do it sometime this year I'm sure. That is if PT co-owners of Magoo agree that it is the best thing to do for him.
So what do you guys think?
Here is Magoo with his booboo all gone.
Sorry I rambled for so long but I finally feel like I got some answers from a very nice vet and I'm excited!!
Magoo was such a good boy and so sweet when we got home. He wouldn't sit up for a picture he just wanted to hold and love my arm and hand.
GEESH I love this furry guy!!!
