Daisy needs an operation for Entropion

[Killearn Kitties]

I've called the vet and they say Daisy is doing fine and will be coming home tonight. I can pick her up at 6.15.

Thanks you all for your good wishes. I'll let you know how she's getting on once she's home.

Thank goodness things went well with the op, I was so worried given my recent experience with Fester pasing away under anaestetic !!! Can't wait to hear your full report tomorrow !!!

Kisses and cuddles for Daisy xoxoxoxox

A quick update on Daisy before I start work ...

She was a little bit panicky when she came out of her box last night. Normally she runs straight behind the sofa, but of course the cone kept hitting bits of furniture. She quietened down quite quickly though. She was, understandably, a bit subdued; but she managed to eat a little chicken.

The cone has to stay on for 10 days!! The stitches will dissolve in 30 days, but can be taken out before that time if they start to bother her. She has to get eye drops twice a day. That could be a performance and a half, because Alec is now away until tomorrow night, so I have asked a neighbour to help me and Daisy is not very good with strangers. This neighbour has always had animals though, including cats, and she is a nurse, so I am sure we will cope!

This morning Daisy just wanted to snuggle in to me and get pats and cuddles. It was a bit of an effort to come to work.

Daisy says a big thank you to everyone for their hugs, kisses and skritchies!

Oh I am terribly sorry that somehow I've missed this thread about Daisy's surgery...however I am happy that she's doing fine now (but I wonder how fine you really feel with a cone on the neck)...
Poor Girl!!!
Nellie was through this cone thing recently, too and she didn't calm down so quickly like sweet Daisy...

I hope she will recover quickly and that the stitches are removed soon...hope you'll get lots of extra treats and love!!!

Hugs to you Daisy,

Sabine and Nellie

I would be very interested to find out how you got the diagnosis and what her symptoms are as my Lucy has had some eye probs for a while now. They keep giving her drops which do nothing!

Wishing you and Daisy all the best. Big hugs to her from Gigi and Lulu.

I know exactly what you are going through. After Nakita was spayed, she needed the cone on for 10 days, and I had to give her eye cream (not drops) 3 times a day. Drops are much easier to put in the eye than cream!

To give the cat some relief, you may want to take the cone off so she can wash herself. I know that Nakita hated not being able to wash herself, so I would sit with her when I had the cone off. Then you just make sure she doesn't touch the area where she had the surgery. Nakita would go through 1 hour cleaning sessions! Since I was home throughout the day, I would take off the cone 2 or 3 times and it seemed to really help her.

I'm glad to hear everything went well. Get better soon Daisy!

Good for you Daisy - I'm so pleased you've come through the op at the 'white coats' with flying colours
I bet you feel much more comfortable now don't you - or you will in a couple of days.

KK - I agree with RB about removing the 'cone' every so often so she can have a wash and move about unhindered - they adore that little bit of 'freedom'.

Good Luck to You Both xxx
