Default Cataracts

That is Awesome!!
My little guy also has cataracts, however he is not a candidate for surgery. After going through all the test at the Animal Ophthalmology Clinic, they have determined that he has degenerative retina disease.
Now we have a whole other issue going on. His lens is luxating and the cataract has slipped through the pupil and is being cinched like a belt causing the eye to bulge. So, we have 5 different drops now trying to keep him comfortable while trying to dilate the eye in hopes of the lens slipping back in place. We've gone back once and no change and are going back again right after the holiday. The only thing left would be, 1) if there is any space at all between the two, for the Dr. to try to manually massage it loose, which doesnt look good so far. 2) Remove his little Eye.

Anyone else ever dealt with this? Would love to hear thoughts.
