Has anyone had an operation done on a kitten?


I have a kitten here who came in with an extremely bad eye. She is approximately 6-7 weeks old and it looks like she will need her eye removing I'm worried obviously because of her age etc.....has anyone else had an op done on an animal so young

You'll find she'll be ok & will cope better with the surgery than you could imagine.

I think she will be ok too, dont forget kittens are routinely spayed now at that age, although an eye op is more serious, I expect she will be fine, good luck to her.

I'm hoping so Smudgley because the vet is worried about her age and size, which makes me nervous putting her through it. She's back in the vets shortly and I think he will be letting me know when he wants her booked in

The other worry Dawn is that we don't actually know what's behind the eye ball, this is where we think the infection is coming from When the vet first checked her, he had to coax the eye open and it was just full of green gunge......I'm hoping there isn't more to it but we won't know until she has the op
