Magnificat Cat Rescue and Rehoming, Inc hasn't added a story.
UPDATE: Garfield had his surgery this afternoon and is doing well post-op. He is staying overnight at Guardian Veterinary Specialists and will come home tomorrow. Here he is immediately after surgery.
GARFIELD'S STORY: A few weeks after we rescued Garfield and his mate Lola, Garfield began having problems with his left eye. For weeks we trudged back and forth to the vet. We tried topical antibiotics, oral antibiotics, antivirals - nothing worked, and Garfield's eye continued to get worse. Our vet referred us to a specialist, because it was obvious that poor Garfield was suffering.
Today we drove over an hour to see Dr. Kyle Tofflemire at Guardian Veterinary Specialists. Poor Garfield has something called a sequestrum, a darkened area of dead tissue on the cornea that is not only painful, but if untreated can lead to eye rupture. On top of that, because he had been squinting for so long, he had developed entropion on his lower eyelid, which also needed surgical correction. Surgery was the only remedy.
Garfield is getting the surgery this afternoon. If all goes well, tomorrow he will be able to come back to his foster home, where Lola is anxiously waiting for him. Every time Garfield goes to the vet Lola stays by the door, meowing for her mate. We've never seen such a bonded couple.
The surgery will be around $1,800-$2100, depending on whether a corneal graft is needed (the vet won't know until Garfield is under anesthesia and he can take a closer look at the sequestrum and assess the extent). We also had to do pre-op bloodwork, which was over $200.
Please donate to Garfield's surgery - he has been in so much pain and this surgery is the only way to fix his eye!
