Hello again! My cat is going in for a total ear canal ablation one week from today, but not only are they removing just the ear canal they will also remove the middle ear too. I am so worried and nervous for him but this is my last resort.
Hello, I went through this just a year ago and finally found a vet near me who is amazing and removed my cats polyps without pushing an MRI. This vet is in MN. Let me know if you’d like his info.
**Update**
My cats eye is back to normal. His eye issue only lasted about 24 hours then went away on its own. Must have just been inflammation from surgery like his vet said. My kitty is doing great since his polyp removal. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome!!
I gave them a call as soon as we got home from surgery and I noticed it. They said it’s probably due to inflammation. They didn’t seem concerned but I still can’t help but be concerned.
I called the vet as soon as I got my cat home and noticed his eye. They just said it is probably from inflammation and said they can prescribe me something for it but I couldn’t drive back out there because that vet is an hour from me. They were the only vet I could find who was familiar with polyps. This is actually my sisters cat. She got him from a rescue center about 2 years ago and he’s been sick since day one. She started vet care right away but they kept treating kitty for an upper respiratory infection and ear infection. He would seem better for a month or so but always got sick again. after 8 failed times treating for these two things my sister called me crying that she can’t afford anymore but she doesn’t want to put him down so I agreed to take over. I took him to my vet, who I’ve always trusted, and explained that the treatment he’s been getting hasn’t fixed him and she said it’s most likely a polyp but she said she had to send him to a specialist for polyps. I got the quote from the specialist for a polyp removal and it was going to cost me $2,684. I was fully prepared to pay this and even had his appointment set. But then I came across YouTube videos by Krista Magnifico showing how simple this procedure actually is so I started calling around. Sadly every vet I called said I have to go to that specialist my vet referred me to. Finally, 12 phone calls later, I found a vet who was very familiar with polyps and he got me in within 2 days. The Total bill there was only $809. 99!! What a relief ????. I should probably add that I live in Minnesota. Pice could be different from state to state.
