Another Sequestra for Tate


Tate has just had another operation on his eye to remove a sequestra. This is his third. He is feeling really sorry for himself as the third eyelid has been stitched down and he has to wear a collar, bless him. It took him longer to come round properly from the op but he seems ok now. He has to go bac on Tuesday.

Unfortunately at his pre-op check they detected a heart murmer that has never been noticed before. While he was under they did a quick scan of his heart, no charge to me so there are good non-money grabbing vets out there. What they discovered is a real shock and Tate is now retiring and is going to be neutered as soon as the vets think it is possible. They have graded his murmer as a grade 5, grade 6 is the highest, and the scan showed thickening of the left ventricular wall. When he has got over the eye op they will conduct further investigations. It was really frightening to hear this and I was in tears all the way home.

I will keep you all up to date.

Re: Another Sequestra for Tate


I'm hoping and hoping the results show something manageable. Fabes has a heart murmur (along with everything else!!) but he only has to have 1/8th of a tablet a day for that and his poor prognosis has nothing to do with the heart murmur.

(((hugs))) to you Kay

Re: Another Sequestra for Tate


Oh gosh Kay - I'm so sorry to hear this. What a shock

The only consolation is that you have found out about it now and you can do all possible to keep Tate happy and healthy.

Please do keep us posted with the further tests and I hope his eye heals quickly.

Lots of love to you both
xx
