Kattekahjustusi

Kattekahjustusi, also known as cat eye correction, is a surgical procedure aimed at reducing the appearance of a cat's eye, which is a drooping upper eyelid that can cause the eye to appear more almond-shaped. This condition is often seen in breeds such as Persians and Siamese cats, and can be caused by genetic factors or aging.

The procedure involves removing a small amount of tissue from the upper eyelid to create a more symmetrical eye shape. This can be done using various techniques, including traditional surgery, laser surgery, or a combination of both. The choice of method depends on the individual cat's anatomy and the surgeon's preference.

Post-operative care is crucial for a successful recovery. This typically includes administering pain medication, applying eye ointment to prevent infection, and keeping the cat calm and quiet to avoid disturbing the healing process. Most cats can return to their normal activities within a few days, although it may take several weeks for the eyelid to fully heal and regain its normal appearance.

Kattekahjustusi is generally considered a safe and effective procedure when performed by an experienced veterinarian. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, including infection, bleeding, and complications related to anesthesia. It's important for cat owners to discuss these risks and benefits with their veterinarian before proceeding with the surgery.
