She is sleeping a lot and not eating but will take a drink of water from time to time. She has been outside to pee - successfully.
She is not eating but that was expected. We have always had trouble keeping weight on her - any little upset will effect her appetite. I suspect that when I get her home tonight she will eat out of my hand but I don't expect she will go to the food for a few days. The vet even commented on how shy she is. (Damned puppy mills!)
You know, I dread looking at her for the first time. I know I will start crying. I love that little girl so much it is going to be hard seeing her like that. I just have to keep reminding myself that she couldn't see out of that eye anyway and once the surgery heals she will be out of pain.
Thanks for the YT prayers and concern.
Hugs to you all!

Lou, don't look at it like she will be sad to loose her eye as all it was, was a burden to her & she will not miss that mean 'ol broken thing anyway. She is much better off without all the pain it brought her. When you see her just think of it as she was broken & now she's fixed. You will not even notice it after she's recovered from the surgery as she will be feeling so much better & that's what it's all about.
Praying that sweet little girl has a quick recovery & God Bless You for taking her in & Loving her so much.
