I am wondering how long your GF has had the puppy and how the eye became so infected that is needs to be removed. Could you have purchased him with a scratched cornea? Was he looked at by your vet when you brougth him home? If he had a scratched cornea when you purchased him wouldn't your contract with the breeder cover the cost of the surgery? If I were you I would contact the breeder that you purchased the puppy from to see if there is any way this would be covered by your contract.
