Ellen - i wanted to add something for your husband ...I THINK (based on what myhusbands dog Princess looked like when she got sick) - that in this case - bright eyes are not good.....
if a dog is anemic and the eyes are bright white - that means the blood vessles shenormally has in the white of her eyes isn't visible - I don't want to scare you and could be wrong - but that was the FIRST Thing I noticed when we woke up and looked at my husbands cocker...she looked at me and I really was shocked at how very white the eyes were and cockers normally have those sad kind of bloodshot eyes you know ??
so if your hubby is thinking bright eyes is a sign of improvement - tell them to ask the vet about this because I think it has more to do with being very low on red blood cells - and NOT a good sign....
I'm sorry - I just wanted to offer anything I can....and hate to sound like the voice of doom.... |
