Poor Lilith...Eye Again.. Update 8/11 :'(

[Unepuce]

Go Lilith! Finally done with that eye! You must be so relieved, Shelagh!

 

[crumbilina]

She looks SO good!!!!

I have to say, that is a darned masterpiece right there... well, a masterpiece of surgery! Scraped down to the bone, eye gone... that is like textbook (or at least it would be if there was a textbook on enucleation/infection draining in rats with Lids of Steel!)

 

[Joanne]

That looks fantastic! Thank goodness for her amazing powers of healing.

 

[violet976]

Yay Lilith! So glad to see the worst is over.


Now that looks wonderful!

 

[mamarat]

She looks fantastic. Yay Lilith!

 

She's look great!

Lilith send some of your super healing powers over this way for my Little Miss :giggle:

Lilith update. I noticed something last night and I am wondering if you will see it too. :undecided:

From the side so you can see the healing. There's still seepage (serum?) but no smell of infection.

Here is where you can really notice it. I sent an update email to Dr Munn so he could see it too.

:stickpoke: Awe Miss Lilith no more issues with the eye. Give your momma a break.

What about drainage from her lacrimal gland? I'm not too sure about rattie anatomy, but they must have them too. Then it would be considered 'normal'. (****Please be normal, please be normal....****)

 

[M0onkist]

Have to admit, I'm kinda stumped...

 

[violet976]

The only things I notice, if I'm really guessing, is possibly darker skin color by the eye, & perhaps some hair loss (of course, she is kind of hairless all over, so I don't know if that's her norm).

*ding ding ding* You win the prize!! The change in colour is new (not so much the bareness)...and in person it looks very bluish.

 

[violet976]

Bummer, not the prize I'd want to win. So, I'm assuming that's not bruising from the surgery, but instead new. What would that possibly mean?

 

[M0onkist]

Definitely doesn't look like infection - looks more like a blood vessel that grew in weird (like, more visible than normal)...

 

[Joanne]

Update on Lilith?

 

[Godmother]

Yes, I just saw this thread... hope she is OK.

 

[lilspaz68]

Well here we go...a change. The sneezing is worse, and there's liquid coming from it...they are squeaky sneezes. She's on baytril now to see if we can curb that, but today her eye looked swollen and pink underneath.

I found her in the pillow that I let Tepeu disembowel.

You can see some of the swelling under the "eye" here.

and while I was gently pressing, this fluid came up...looks like liquidy pus doesn't it? No infection smell though. Could it still be body fluids? Her sneezing showed a small droplet of the same colour stuff from her nose. :undecided: Could things be draining and affecting her nasal cavity?

 

[Unepuce]

Poor Lilith! I sure hope the abs can take care of all this... :sad3:

 

[violet976]

gah... poor little girl can't be done with this. I hope it magically works itself out with AB's...
