Thankyou to my dear friends for their best wishes and concern after my eye operation and I'm so sorry it's taken so long to give you an update.

I had my stitches out just over a month ago - what a relief, I felt much more comfortable. My vet said mum had to continue with the eye drops twice a day for a month and then go back for a checkup. Mum took me yesterday and Terry, our lovely vet, was very pleased with my eye and said I didn't need the eye drops any more. He said I had a tiny bit of scar tissue in my eye but felt sure this would gradually disperse on its own and I wouldn't need another operation to remove the scar tissue, which he thought I probably would have done earlier.

He was so pleased how well the implant had taken and said he'd never removed a mass so large from a cat's eye before. I now have about 60% vision in one eye but the other eye is fine.

Terry said it was all thanks to my mum for being so observant and persevering with the eye drops for many months or I would definitely have lost my eye, but mum said it was really down to me for being so co-operative and such a good girl for letting her put the drops in. If it had been one of my ex-feral sisfurs she said she wouldn't have stood a chance putting eye drops in them.

Thankyou again to all my friends.

Happy purrs
