Focused on Zelda

Our almost 7 year old cat Zelda has a tough time right now with her Osteoarthritis. We're going to the vet with her next week so they can take a look at her again. 


We really trust our vet (and of course the other vets working there too) who is a really nice guy who takes things seriously. A few months ago he did a surgery on Zelda. She had a problem with watery eyes and I who have known Zelda since she was a baby always thought it was because she's a little bit short-nosed. Almost every year I asked my/our former vet-place if they could do anything but they didn't know, gave her some eye-drops a few times that didn't help.

But then we changed vet-place and asked a new guy to take a look at her and he immediately saw what was wrong: her eyelids were "rolling" in against the eye and caused pain and was very unpleasant for her. the cause is called entropion and both human and animals can have it. A surgery had to be done, no doubt about it and my lovely Sara helped me a lot with the payment since the whole insurance didn't cover everything. And now - look how beautiful the eyes turned out! It's a great relief Zelda has well-functional eyes now! <3


She has seemed a bit happier the recent days. Maybe because of the high quality food Sara bought her or because of like the best toy she and Zeus have ever seen: a little cute Chtulhu, filled with extra strong American catnip Sara found at a market last weekend and gave to her (first night our sweet little darlings almost picked the eyes out of the poor thing). Probably because of both things mixed with a lot of love from her family.
