Hi everybody!
We went back to the veterinary ophthalmologist today and the news wasn’t what I wanted to hear.
She told me and Jen that my eyes aren’t getting any better with medication and she doesn’t want to up the steroid dosage because it could impact my liver, kidneys, and cause diabetes. Surgery is the next step. Jen scheduled it for next Tuesday.
The good news is the vet said it shouldn’t be a painful recovery for me. The bad news I’ll hafta wear the dreaded Cone of Shame for several days.
There’s also a chance the granulomas could come back.
Please keep us in your thoughts. Me cuz I hafta go through this, and Jen because she is stressing already.
Love,
Yella
Fingers crossed

Posted by Rumpy's Kitty Siblings | August 14, 2019, 8:56 PMOh gosh. I’m sorry that you both have to go through it, but I’m glad Jen cares and is on top of this for you. Sending you both warm and fuzzy thoughts!
Posted by KDKH | August 14, 2019, 9:09 PMThanks!
Posted by Rumpy's Kitty Siblings | August 15, 2019, 6:59 AMI’m so sorry to hear this! Many hopes and hugs for a successful procedure and a fast recovery.
Posted by Catwoods | August 14, 2019, 9:25 PMI’m not happy about it either, but it must be done.
Posted by Rumpy's Kitty Siblings | August 15, 2019, 7:00 AMPurring for you and Jen!
Posted by Andrea Kenner | August 14, 2019, 9:49 PMThank you!
Posted by Rumpy's Kitty Siblings | August 15, 2019, 7:00 AMLove and loud purring for everything to go well, esp. healing quickly! Do you have a soft clown collar to wear? OurGirl sends gentle hugs to Jen, too. Just worrying about everyday things is hard enough!
Posted by Annabelle Essert (@RainbowCatsx12) | August 14, 2019, 10:02 PMThe cone is to keep me from rubbing my eyes, so I don’t know if a soft collar would work.
Posted by Rumpy's Kitty Siblings | August 15, 2019, 7:01 AMYou both are definitely in our thoughts for the suggested treatment to do the trick. We have Jen can relax a little over the weekend to help reduce her stress.
Posted by The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap | August 14, 2019, 10:42 PMThank you! And Jen will be OK. She worries because she loves me.
Posted by Rumpy's Kitty Siblings | August 15, 2019, 7:06 AMDarn it. Yella, we were hoping for better news, too. We’re sending purrs and prayers of peace and freedom from anxiety for you and Jen.
Posted by meowmeowmans | August 14, 2019, 11:00 PMThank you!
Posted by Rumpy's Kitty Siblings | August 15, 2019, 7:06 AMWe’re thinking of you and Jen. My biped also gets really stressed if one of us has something wrong.
Posted by Clowie | August 15, 2019, 1:13 AMJen says she knows it’s wasted effort, because worry doesn’t change anything, but she still worries.
Posted by Rumpy's Kitty Siblings | August 15, 2019, 7:07 AMhugs, positive thoughts and crossed fingers & paws for youuuu!
Posted by easyweimaraner | August 15, 2019, 1:32 AMThanks you guys!

Posted by pensitivity101 | August 15, 2019, 2:53 AMThanks!
Posted by Rumpy's Kitty Siblings | August 15, 2019, 7:08 AMHey Yella good luck with op! Has Jen got you a soft cone of shame, much more comfortable than the hard plastic ones 💜💜
Posted by willowdot21 | August 15, 2019, 5:53 AMJen thought about it but the cone is to keep me from rubbing my eyes and a soft cone probably won’t help. She’ll ask the vet though to be sure.
Posted by Rumpy's Kitty Siblings | August 15, 2019, 7:09 AMTo be honest we find the soft one ,( shaped the same as the hard plastic one) is excellent. The round one not so good but the soft cone is excellent and more comfortable. But yes do as the vet 💜💜💜
Posted by willowdot21 | August 15, 2019, 11:18 AMThanks!
Posted by Rumpy's Kitty Siblings | August 15, 2019, 12:19 PMA pleasure our lab Ruby lives her soft collar and I know they do them for cats too 💜💜
Posted by willowdot21 | August 15, 2019, 12:50 PMPoor fella. Hope it goes well and Jen can de-stress quickly.
