Cecil Update

We went to the opthalmology specialist yesterday - 5/12/06 - at the Animal Medical Center in New York. Dr. Susette Aquino determined that Cecil was a candidate for reconstructive surgery to essentially create some new eyelids for him. He's an excellent traveler, via subway and bus, and didn't make a sound until the end of his exam when he got a little wriggly. Of course, the vets were charmed and I was proud of the "patient's" patience during the extensive eye exam. I took some photos and have more info on Cecil's blog, Rescued in Brooklyn.

An angel for Cecil

After some serious networking, we found an angel for Cecil who will cover the cost of his eye surgery provided we can raise the funds in the next couple of months. This is wonderful as he needs help now and can't wait for the normal amount of time it takes to raise funds. Of course, Cecil has no idea he needs anything other than plenty of food and company! Today he got an empty kleenex box that is keeping him entertained along with a new ping pong ball and a stuffed monkey with velcro paws hanging from the roof of his kennel!
