Yay! A possible solution to Magoo's problem! I hear "I should have been a vet, so many times Lisa". I think I'd flunk out of school at the first dissection day. I've been through so many different scenarios involving kitties by now, it struck me as odd (having a few one eyed kitties in house) that the fluid kept building on that same side. I'm glad you found a vet you really feel confidant about, and agree that maybe if it's not too much for Magoo to endure, maybe it should be resolved once and for all. I just hope if you do go through with it, he doesn't turn into a beast again after anesthesia. P.S..I like the 'cuss factor' being brought up LOL!
