I det sidste halve - 3/4 års tid har Leo døjet med at hans ene øje har væsket en del, men det har som regel været klar væske og kun i perioder. Min tidligere dyrlæge har udskrevet øjensalve og så er det gået væk, men er kommet igen, med kortere eller længere varighed.
Vi har i forbindelse med vores flytning skiftet dyrlæge og han har set Leo i Januar, til hans årlige vaccination, og så igen, for en uge siden, hvor Leos øje igen begyndte at væske lidt. Hans diagnose var klar: Indadvendt nedre øjenlåg. Og jeg må sige, at da han viste mig det, var jeg slet ikke i tvivl... er faktisk forundret over, at jeg ikke selv har kunnet se det! Men jeg har jo stolet på, at dyrlægen vidste hvad hun gjorde og har ikke selv undersøgt det nærmere.....
Leo fik udskrevet nye øjendråber og skulle komme igen tirsdag, hvilket han gjorde, og de nye øjendråber har ikke hjulpet så meget som *de gamle*, så dyrlægen anbefalede en operation, som Leo har gennemgået i dag.
Han har klaret operationen fint og er ved at komme sig, på vores badeværelse. Han skal til kontrol og have taget stingene d. 03.05.04 og så skal han ses på igen, 4 - 6 uger efter operationen, altså en gang i slutningen af Maj/starten af Juni.
En af de sønner som jeg har efter Leo i øjrblikket, ser umiddelbart ud til at have samme problem, men han er så ung at han evt. kan vokse fra det, som dyrlægen sagde.
Jeg har taget billeder af Leo efter operationen, samt det stykke hud der blev fjernet, og har tænkt mig at lave en lille føljeton, med billeder, for at vise hvordan det går med Leo her efter operationen, samt noget information om, hvad den operation han har gennemgået egentlig er for en *størrelse*.
Billederne af Leo kan ses længere nede på denne side.

Periodically over the last 6 - 9 months Leo has had a problem with one of his eyes. He had clear fluid coming from one eye and it didn't spread to his other eye or to any other cats. My vet prescribed some eye ointment and it went away however its occurrence started to become more frequent.
When we moved we also changed our vet and he saw Leo for the first time in Januray for his annual shots. He saw him again one week ago, when Leo's eye started to have some fluid coming from it once again. His diagnosis: one of Leo's lower eye lids were turning inward rather than outward thus causing the eye to be irritated and discharge clear fluid.
Leo was prescribed some eye ointment but it was a different type from what my previous vet had prescribed him. I received a message from my vet to come back Tuesday because he wanted to take a look at him after a few days of treatment. Our vet stated that Leo required an operation, as soon as possible. We scheduled an appointment for Thursday morning.
Leo was operated on this morning and he did fine! He is recuperating in our bathroom right now. He will return to the vet on May 3rd for a check up and to have his stitches removed. We will also bring Leo back late May/early June for a follow up appointment.
One of Leo's sons which we have right now in our C1-litter appears to have the same problem as Leo. Our vet said he could possibly grow out of it.
I have taken some pictures of Leo right after he came home from the surgery. These photos are posted below and also included is the piece of skin that the vet removed. Over time I plan to make a diary that outlines Leo’s recovery progress. I will also include some information about the operation Leo had.
More to follow....

Så er stingene blevet taget og Leo's øje ser meget fint ud! Han skal dog fortsætte et par dage endnu med behandling med den antibiotiske øjensalve, den samme som er blevet brugt i tiden mellem operationen og indtil stingene blev taget, fordi hans øje stadig er lidt udsat for at få infektioner. Men dyrlægen er MEGET tilfreds med resultatet og det er jeg også! Min dyrlæge vil meget gerne se Leo igen, bare for lige a beundrer det endelige resultat, så vi har aftalt at han får ham at se i forbindelse med at B1-kuldet skal vaccineres.
Billeder af hvordan Leo's øje ser ud, efter stingene er blevet taget, kan ses længere nede!
Det har vist sig, at Leo's søn IKKE har det samme problem som hans far, men *kun* har en rift på øjenhinden, fra en klo og han er også sat i antibiotisk behandling, og dyrlægen forventer at han vil blive fuldstændig rask samt normaltseende.

The stitches have been removed and Leo's eye looks so good! He has to continue being treated with the antibiotic eye ointment he has also been treated with between the time he was operated and up until the stitches was removed. The reason is that his eye can still be exposed for infections etc. But the vet is VERY satisfied with his recovery so far and so am I! My vet wants to see Leo again, just so that he can admire the final result, so I have agreed to take him with me when the B1-litters are due for their vaccinations.
Pictures of how Leo's eye looks after the stitches has been removed, can be seen further down!
We now know that Leo's son DOESN'T have the same problem as his
dad, but *only* has been scratched on the menbran of the eye, probably
from a claw, and he too is given the antibiotic eye ointment. The vet expects
full recovery.

Leo vil helst være så meget som muligt i løbegården, så det får han lov til/ Leo prefers to spend as much time in the run as possible, so I let him do that

4 måneder efter at Leo er blevet opereret, er hans øje blevet helt fint. Som det kan ses på billederne herunder, så er der ingen spor efter operationen. Leo er blevet udstillet i Juni og Juli, helt uden problemer. Hans øje var ikke spor påvirket og hverken dommere eller de dyrlæger som checker kattene om morgen, havde nogle bemærkninger.
08.27.04
4 months after the surgery, Leos eye are looking as good as ever.
As it can be seen on the pictures below, there are no traces after the
surgery. I have taken Leo to shows in June and July, without any problems
at all. His eye didn't show any signs of having problems and neither the
judges nro the vets that sees the cats in the morning before they are allowed
into the show hall, had any remarks about his eye either.

Siden Leo blev opereret har der overhovedet ikke været nogle problemer med hans øje. Og da ingen af hans børn har udviklet samme problem, kan vi konkluderer, at det ikke er arveligt.
09.22.07
Since Leo had the eye operation he has had no problems with the eye. And since none of his children has developed the same problem, we can conslude that it is not a inheriated form.
