We Are Fighting To Save Our Outdoor Cat's Eye [View all]

3 weeks ago my daughter noticed a bad tooth on CooCoo. We took him to the vet and they pulled 2 teeth. We told them to check his left eye. It was scratched really bad, he ended up with a corneal ulcer. For 2 weeks we have been putting 3 types of drops in his eye, 3 times a day. The one drop is a serum made from dog's blood, supposed to help healing.

Being an outdoor cat we locked him in the garage and put out a litter box so that we can find him when it's time for his treatment.

His eye looks pretty shitty, but the vet says it is healing and what we see is a scab forming over the ulcer. The problem is whether it heals well enough for him to see out of his eye, if he can't then he loses his eye.

CooCoo just showed up one day and he is at least 13 years old and he is a good boy, doesn't fight when I hold him and wife puts the drops in his eye. I just gave him some Boar's Head chipped chicken breast for being a good boy.

We should find out his status next Tuesday.
