Default Vetting Update (eye specialist) and a Thanks!!

Thank you both for your donations...every dollar does help as today our vet bill for the eye specialist was $595.64 with both needing follow up eye appointments.

Both Lace and Silky went to the eye doctors today.

Lace does have a cataract in her left eys and the beginning of one in her right. He felt she also likely has PRA as her retinas are not great. He gave us an antioxidant to see if if will help with her retinas and to bring her back in about 3-4 months. If the antioxidant appears to be helping, her retinas, then at that point we can look into cataract surgery.

Sily has an ulcer that is healing in her eye and also a slight case of dry eye. She is on an antibiotic for th eulcer and cyclosporine drops for the dry eyes. He wants to see her back in two weeks.

Both dogs were amazing at the vets...they are so good and sweet and know that everyone is only trying to help them. Lace had an electroretinogram where they put needles near the eye (the eye is numb, but she is awake) and she just stood there and never flinched.

All dogs still have black gunk in their ears and need daily cleaning of the ears.

Thank you everyone for your support....
