Eye removed

[Bati]

Called my vet to hear and he told me that when he took the eye out he found 'something black sticky looking like a tumor behind the eye' - he has only removed this one eye so have no idea, was this normal or a tumor or something else?

I don't have any experience with a lost eye. Maybe it was a mass?

sounds ominous. My vet didn't see anything unusual when he removed Tia's eye, but that is the only knowledge I have about eye removal.

Did your vet remove the black mass?

 

[Bati]

Yes he took the black away but as he said, it maybe was supposed to be there, so we're a bit lost on this

Black could be congealed blood. Let's hope that's all it was. I can't think of any normal structure that would be black and gooey.

It did NOT look like blood, I hope my vet is able to see when it's blood, it looked like a tumor he said. But I just hope it was nothing dangerous

Bati,

I sent the email below to The Rat Lady. Maybe she has an idea.

I will let you know if I get a response.

Hang in there! You are a peach. :rose:

Dear Debbie,

Below is text from a post from "The Rat Shack" from Bati of Denmark.

Do you have any clue what the issue could have been?

Her vet seems to be at a loss and that, of course, does not help Bati.


Thank you very much for any insight you may be able to provide and warm regards,

Jennifer Bauer

OH so sweet of you, didn't like to disturb the rat-lady with my not so important question

 

[Godmother]

What a great idea! Debbie D has seen a lot of ratties over the years.

Debbi D. actually sets aside several hours daily for five days a week to take phone calls from rat owners with questions ... of course she will take emergency calls at other times as well.
