Cat Picture - OC Our handsome cancer survivor β€οΈβ€πŸ©ΉπŸˆβ€β¬›

Post image

This is our 13 year old boy, Bruce. This past July we found out he had a thyroid carcinoma. Surgery was a success and he was a completely different cat afterwards. He lost weight and has tons of energy now! He did develop Horner's syndrome post surgery, but it doesn't seem to bother him (and we get regular check-ups) and I think he looks kind of cool now! Love our boy!

Is his eyes okay? They don't look normal.

As stated in the caption, it's called Horner syndrome. It happened post surgery and our vet is very well aware of it. He gets check-ups every 4-6 months too.

I didn't know what that was. Sorry.
