Sedona has been having a wonderful second semester in CSU’s Right Horse program, and we are incredibly excited for the showcase!
Sedona also recently had her recheck with CSU’s Opthamology department for an update on her ocular squamous cell carcinoma in each eye. Sedona was a rockstar for this visit and overall the news was mostly positive!
Sedona’s right eye looks great, and the veterinary team have no concerns! Which is fantastic.
Her left eye however still has a small tumor that is considered “active” - but it hasn’t grown, which is still good. But, because the small tumor is still active, the veterinary team’s professional recommendation is surgery, not to remove the eye, but actually just the tumor itself & and do a round of radiation at the same time.
This surgery is considered the Gold Standard of treatment with only about a 15-20% chance of reoccurrence, which of course is a big deal for Sedona and a surgery like this, done under general anesthesia, required careful thought on our part.
But, with how this would positively change Sedona’s future and quality of life and increase the chance that Sedona not need the eye removed, a date has been set for Sedona to have the tumor surgically excised.
As you can imagine, a procedure like this comes at a price! 😳 but, we know it’s worth it if this means Sedona can be free of this remaining cancer. 💕
To help Sedona, we are starting a small fundraiser in hopes to cover about one-third of the anticipated cost of the surgery!
If you are able to and would like to make a donation toward Sedona’s surgery and recovery expenses, donations can be made directly to this fundraiser, or to our
