Yesterday I thought Jordan had a hemotoma in his ear. He needed to have his blood calcium rechecked. So I thought the vet should take a look at teh hemotoma as well. The vet said it is very small & called it a seroma. My mom used to be a nurse & she said the differnce is a hematoma is filled with blood a seroma is filled with clear fluid. The vet opened it up & said she does not think it is worth doing surgery at this point. She told me to keep an eye on it and if it gets worse then it may require surgery.
Then we talked about spots Jordan has in his eyes. His regular vet had just wrote it off as him getting old. This vet was more concerned and recommended I take him to a feline opthomologist. She feels the spots are cataracts due to his hypercalcima, but also stated that she is not farmilar with the type of cataracts he has. So I will give them a call next week. I'm a little worried about how much this will cost, but if it can give an answer to all the various problems he has it will be worth the mone.
Now the long stand large issue of his blood calcium. His regular vet was not sure he would ever be off the pred but I wanted to try. 2 weeks after being off the prednisone completely. His blood calcium is ........... NORMAL!!!!!!
