UPdate on Penny some great and some terrible news Penny and I showed at the Ladie's Kennel Club in Old Brookville Long Island. I promised to write about Penny's showing and was prepared to do so. In fact, she took Best of Breed today and picked up another point towards her championship. Something was bothering her eye during the day and I assumed it was a corneal scratch - something she has done to herself so many times that it does not cause me to panic (she has big eyes and with the long coat, if I don't watch her like a hawk, she scratches herself). This time, I was mistaken. By evening, I could tell something was VERY wrong. Took her to the emergency room and they did a stain test on her. She has a corneal ulcer! I've dealt with this one before with another dog, but I know that, beleive that it will heal, there is another big concern, a scar on her eye will end her show career. Please pray for us. |
