Dh has strict orders to put one on her if she starts messing with the eye. He does little else besides sit in the recliner these days so he is able to watch her every move.
I just called to check on her and she is still doing well. She hasn't tried to mess with it at all. She is drinking water but not eating the dry food we keep down for them. Sigh. I still have some chicken. |
Aww, what a good Daddy she has too. Even though she has some surgery pain , I bet it's nothing compared to the extreme pain & pressure the eye was causing her. My vet insisted she wear the collar , not because he was afraid she would paw at it but because they are not used to the eye being gone even when they were blind before surgery as they are still a bit confused & will run into things & the surgery site is going to most of the time be the 1st thing to hit what ever they run into. OUCH ! So whenever Gracie was not in her bed, she had the collar on.
However my Gracie was a little hyper spazzzzzz & I didn't want to take any chances that she would hit it.
