Meet Frankie, who was diagnosed with bilateral cataracts and a partially detached retina in 2018, when he was just 2 years old. Luckily, Frankie’s owner has Vetsure’s Premier Plus pet insurance insurance policy, which has proved to be invaluable since Frankie’s diagnosis.

When Frankie was first diagnosed, he underwent cataract surgery, where both cataracts were removed, and a new lens was placed into his left eye to replace the natural lens that was removed during the surgery. He also had another surgery to repair his detached retina.

Over the next 5 years, Frankie has had several different types of medicated and lubricated eye drops, which must be applied multiple times a day, along with some other oral medication as needed. He has regular check-ups with his eye specialist to monitor his eyes and detect any complications as early as possible. Unfortunately, in January 2022, Frankie’s retina re-detached and is now being closely monitored. Thankfully, his general eye health has remained comfortable!

This kind of intensive treatment requires a lot of compliance from Frankie, and patience from his owner, to allow them to apply his eye drops so frequently. It also takes an immense amount of love and dedication from Frankie’s owner to care for him and his medical needs each day. This is a commitment that will last for Frankie’s lifetime, and at Vetsure we’re incredibly proud of both Frankie and his owner for persevering through Frankie’s condition.

Frankie has been awarded by Vetsure for his ongoing bravery and perseverance over the years with our Pet Bravery Award. For his bravery, Frankie has received a card from all of us at Vetsure and a new toy for him to play with! Well done Frankie and keep up the hard work!
