Thanks for your info about the eyelid thing. My poor Chewy had it, my vet called it "cherry eye" in layman's terms. Anyway, he did the operation as you said, but it didn't work, and it was still visable. So, I called them and they said they would do it again for free. Well, I wouldn't do that to my poor baby again. No way. But, God was with me and Chewy, because my regular vet was out of town, and he had his sub there to take his place. Well, the sub vet had fixed Chewy's other eye that had the same problem a couple of years ago. He took out the tear duct and the cherry eye disappeared. I never had a problem after that. You just have to put drops in their eyes for the rest of their lives, and that's not even an inconvenience, considering all if the things we do regularly for our babies. Anyway, he fixed this eye also, and now she is fine, thank God! He didn't even have to put her to sleep, he just gave her enough seditive so he could do it and it wouldn't hurt her. She was fine a couple of hours later, and raring to come home! Good ending!
