Eye Surgery For Luna


Luna had minor surgery today to remove a tumor on her eyelid. She had one in the past which was removed from the same location ~ her left upper eyelid. They're benign growths, but annoying, because once there's one, more seem to follow. This particular growth really bothered her ~ she's rubbed the hair out around that eye entirely. The change in her body condition over the last few months allowed the eyelid to roll in, so it and the growth rubbed on her eye itself. She had immediate relief as it was removed under a local anesthetic.

I'm happy to report that she's doing great in spite of having to wear an Elizabethan collar for a couple of days so she leaves it alone. I'm not sure that she absolutely hates the collar, as it makes it easier for her to carry several toys at once ~ she uses it as a big scoop!
