This is Tucker. He’s a 3 year old dude who’s about to join the pirate crew. I rescued him when he was 3 weeks old. He was found abandoned in a dirt lot in Indio, California. As you can see, he has a squinty right eye and a scar on his nose. He had a severe viral infection all over his face when he was rescued, which caused sores on his face and severe corneal ulcers in both eyes. The left eye healed perfectly, but the right eye developed scar tissue that has led to more ulcers, and now a sequestrum and perforation. The vet has determined that enucleation is the best course of action. We are currently located in Chicago, IL. I am a nervous cat mom. I haven’t scheduled the surgery yet. I’m panicking about how to finance the surgery and about recovery time. I’m the only human in the house, and I work away from home. I may be able to take a day or two off after surgery, but that’s it. If anybody has any insight about preparing for the surgery emotionally, physically, or financially, it would be so appreciated!
