My cat has been diagnosed with a corneal ulcer today. The vet was hopeful that he'd be able to debride it which basically means removing dead or damaged tissue to improve the healing potential for the remaining tissue. But it was worse than he thought and she's being referred to a veterinary ophthalmologist. There were several hours of fun and games with the insurance company trying to confirm if her operation would be covered by our policy and conversations about what we'd do if it wasn't. Less than pleasant when you try to weigh up the value of a pet against the cost of treatment but in the end we decided to go ahead. Here she is with a very sore eye from the debridement, unaware of what lies in store for her tomorrow.
