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.
