My husband took him to the Vet. this morning because the left upper lid looked raw where the cyst had been removed. The Vet. cleaned it and put ointment on it, and said the scabs had come off but that it was healing fine.
This evening I saw Oreo scratching at his eye with his paw, and the lower lid lesion removal site was also open. The upper one looked worse than it had this morning. So I called the Vet. and got the on-call service.
The Vet.'s in our town take turns being on-call for the entire town, and the on-call Vet. wasn't from our Vet. Clinic. But she had me come over to her office with Oreo and get him fit with an Elizabethan collar. She said the lids will heal OK, but he has to keep from scratching them. She didn't charge me the usual $75.00 fee for having to come in during off hours, so I just had to pay $10.63 for the collar.
Oreo is NOT a happy camper with the collar on! His fur siblings here at home sure are showing a lot of curiosity over it! Except Sandi---she is afraid of it. The kitties are all curious about it. I took pictures of Oreo's lids, and then of him with the collar on, and with his fur-siblings reactions. But I'm too tired tonight to stay up and upload them onto the computer, and then upload them to Image-Station so I can post them on here. I'll work on doing that tomorrow.......
