Being in the same boat as you, finances are non-existant. I'm guessing the procedure Casey is undergoing is a "third eyelid flap" where the vet tacks the inner eyelid to the lower to allow healing. I would think they would just enulcleate the eye as it looks too far gone to save. I'll send prayers that the little guy gets the surgery he needs, and becomes a sweetie. Is it less expensive to do the procedure the vet is planning, or removing it and stitching the lids shut? I would think in the long run, it would be better to get it out and relieve this baby of the pain.
