Please offer a prayer for Buckwheat our oldest ,4 legged son, who is having his left eye removed Sat morning in Des Moines, Bucky was diagnosed with Horners Syndrome in Canada last summer but in reality when we got home a Feline specialist in Florida told us he had glaucoma . It was already too late to save his eyesight but he has been on eye drops, six a day to keep the pressure down and he was responding well until we hit St Louis. There something happened that gave him an ulcer on his cornea and even though he has been on a bunch of drops ever since it is getting no better. We had him to a specialist in Cedar Rapids , Iowa yesterday and was told that removing the eye was about the only treatment to consider now as Bucky was in constant pain from the pressure and the ulcer was the kind that would not heal. So we rearranged our travel schedule to make it happen on Saturday in Des Moines. The doctor says he should be a new kitty as he has been suffering from pain that would be equal to a migraine in human terms now for probably 8 months. Please keep Bucky in your prayers....Alan

It's sad when our loyal furry friends are ill, and even more so when they are in pain. They're unable to tell us how they feel, and they don't complain. Good luck Bucky. There will be some adjustment, but hopefully the pain will be relieved.
Thanks Tom, our pets bring us so much enjoyment and hopefully they understand that the decisions we make for them may not always seem to them to be the best we make them only because we love them and want what is best for them.Tom said:

Congratulations Bucky. Those collars are somewhat awkward and frustrating for pets, but he will adapt, and will soon be free of it.
