    Chrissy going in for surgery tomorrow (Good update)

    Hi everyone,

    I don't normally ask for your thoughts and prayers, but little Chrissy is going in for surgery tomorrow morning. She was born with no eye ball in her left eye and only light sensitivity in her right. Well her left eye keeps getting infected, so I made the decision to have them remove it and sew it shut.

    I know that Gabriel and Gracie (catlover4ever) had similar surgery and everything turned out fine.

    But my little girl is going in tomorrow, so just keep her in your thoughts and prayers tomorrow...

    Aw, she'll be more comfortable, and if possible even cuter with a permanent wink!

    I just got a call from my vet. They took Chrissy in as the first surgery of the day and everything is fine. It turns out there was a tiny little eye in the corner of the eye socket, but they managed to get it out. She is now resting at the vet's office and doing just fine.

    The vet also suggested that I try and keep her calm tonight and even apply ice packs to the region. Any suggestions on how to keep a 6 month old kitten calm while applying ice packs

    Wow, sounds like a big surgery! Hope Chrissy's recovery will be calm, restful and healing. That's alot for a cat to go through, she is very brave and strong.

    If you find out, will you let me know? I can't keep even my oldies but goodies calm. Chrissy sure has been through it and so have you. We're keeping up the prayers that she recovers ASAP w/no problems whatsoever!
    Blessings,
    Mary

    Unfortunately there is no one in the vet office over night, so she is actually better off at home where me (and the rest of the gang) can keep an eye on her.

    I won't be able to get her until almost 6PM, so she should be in pretty good shape by then. If there are any problems, I hope they will have surfaced before I get there.

    But I am open to suggestions about how to apply an ice pack to a kitten????

    Ask the vet how to apply an ice pack to a young kitty!

    Unless they give her a pain patch that has a tad of sedative in it, I don't know how you would do it - unless you use a towel and create a 'kitten burrito'.

    Ask how long the cold would have to be on her eye.


    Glad all went well!

    The vet suggested 10 minutes on and 30 minutes off for the ice pack. But realistically neither one of us thinks that is really going to be happening tonight!
