Next week the dr. is going to take more tests to see if the pressure is off her eye, if not, it looks like Lindseys eye will be taken out. The optical nerve is weak so no prostetic can be put there. I'm really a wreck and have turned to YorkieTalk for support. If anyone has had experience with eye problems and surgery with eyes, please reply. Lindeys Mom.... |
My chihuahua had one of her eyes put out by another dog shaking a rope toy that had a knot on each end. Then two years later she developed glaucoma and had to have monthly tests with an ophthalmologist and was on two types of medication for over a year before that eye ulcerated and had to be removed. She did just fine with one eye and just fine with no eyes. She didn't seem to mind at all and was still very happy, outgoing and didn't lose her appetite. She was such a little piglet.
