Wow! I am just seeing this amazing story now. I am so glad that you were as persistant as can be to get your baby the help that he needed.
Many years ago we had a Lab that loved popcorn. I would toss pieces up into the air and she would eat it. One day I noticed something on her eye and took her to the vet. I told him that I thought she had a popcorn kernal stuck to her eye on the conrnea. He told me that I was CRAZY that it would be impossible for that to happen.................until he removed it and looked at me stunned. I was 100% correct! I know this is by no comparison what you have gone through but it just goes to show you that strange things happen and we just need to follow our instincts when it comes to our pups.
I am so happy to hear that Ted's surgery went well and that the surgeons were able to successfully removed the cause of his problem.
