It is making her eye have a lot of nasty discharge, and I think it’s hurting her, although she does not rub or paw at her eye. It’s not a soft growth like a blister, it looks like a wart and it is on the underside of her eyelid and protrudes out just a tiny bit. Anyway, we went to the Vet today, and the first thing she said was that Gracie is kind of old to put under anesthesia. I asked if there was anything else we could do to help, and she said they could give us drops to help the eye, but there’s nothing to help the wart except to remove it. I went ahead and scheduled the surgery for Monday, but am wondering what those of you who have experienced something like this think. It bothers me a bit that the very first thing the Vet said was Gracie is awfully old to be going under anesthesia. Anyone?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Anita Woodrum<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'><a href="mailto:awoodrum@clear.net">awoodrum@clear.net</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
