7 year old cat with glaucoma need help.....?


Hello, I found a kitten on the side of the road 7 years ago. He was in very poor shape but I took him to the Vet for shots, worming, neutered, the works. He has now been my best friend for 7 years. I recently took him to my Vet because his left eye is cloudy and the pupil stays the same size. She said it may be cadraracs or glaucoma, but I would have to take him to the ISU Vetinary college @ around $2,900. I love him very much and am not asking for money but I can not afford this amount. Does anyone know a specialist that may do this for probono or cheaper. Thanks.

If it's a cataract, then that fee isn't unusual. (unfortunately)
If it's glaucoma, then it should be treatable with eye drops.

If you decide on the surgery, ask the vet school if you can pay over time.

We had a dog with cataracts in BOTH eyes, that the vet said was related to a new diagnosis of diabetes.

Best of luck
