Pogo's eyes

you certainly are having your fair share of bad luck, fingers crossed that carla's baby's eye fixes itself and that Pogo has a very successful operation for his eyes. you had better buy a lottery ticket

Hi, Bethy,

So sorry to hear about Pogo's eyes. Here are a couple of threads for your review:

Thoughts and prayers are with Pogo and Carla's little one.

My Shorthaired Persians are very prone to corneal ulcers. In our breed they can come from injury or from the chlamydia vaccine and it is not uncommon to see them in infant kittens and older cats. Ulcers are one of the main issues seen in our breed so knowing how to treat them has been extremely important in working with this breed. Prevention is good too, but some things you just can't prevent. Needless to say I have counseled a lot of people through the ulcers and have seen my fair share of them. I will share what I know about treating them but am going to PM you so that it is not construed as posting medical advice.

Hi Bethy:

It sounds to me like little Pogo needs to have his eye lid stitched up (closed up) so that it can heal. Another solution would be to locate an eye specialist or find a vet that treats ulcers with platelet rich plasma (blood), (it comes in tiny frozen vials). This can be expensive but far less evasive than surgery. I have seen some amazing results with this type of treatment. The vet will pull blood from Pogo and create a plasma that is put on the eye 1-2 times a day.

Good luck and sending him hugs and kisses.
