 Need Opinions Please
This is never an easy topic for us to discuss but here goes.
Two months ago I posted about our little shih tzu (Cassie) being diagnosed with cataracts in both eyes and glaucoma in one eye. she got better for a while but has been going downhill at a rapid rate. We don't see the vet till this Saturday but I am fearful that we will need to have her pts.
She can only see shadows and her hearing is so bad now that she can't follow the sound of my voice. The eye with glaucoma is weepy and red. It just looks so painful and the other eye has a a bad cataract. It hurts me to look into what used to be her beautiful brown eyes.
Cassie is 12 and has been loosing weight too. I think she just doesn't want to put the energy into going to the food dish because she eats from my hand with no trouble. She is usually sleeping.
She startles easily even when I gently touch her to let her know I am there.
Here is the question. Do I want to see if they can remove the cataract in her left eye when they end up removing the right eye? How much do I want to put this sweet little thing through?
If you know me at all you know how hard I am taking this and how painful the whole thing is. |
