Damage to the cornea is serious business. YHR just had a foster pup who was blind because she had had numerous injuries to her eyes over the years that were not cared for properly. So sad and so preventable.  |
The vet wants to sew it shut permanently so we don't have to look at it. That is what he said. He said it was a 'collapsed cornea' wait a month for it to heal, then bring him in to sew it shut if i wanted to because it would look ugly. Not to heal, not to reopen. He said the eye would not heal, that he was blind in that eye.
