I'm in hysterics...and Sophie's at the vet...

[Ladymom]

I am so sorry. Two intact females will fight as you tragically found out. I pray your little girl will be able to keep her eye.

Hopefully getting them spayed and perhaps working with a trainer will stop the fighting.

Oh my goodness, I am so sorry. That is terrible....I hope she will adjust to it quickly....the poor thing.....it's heartbreaking.

i feel so bad for her..
i don't know what to do...

i know right now you must be devistated.. but dont worry.. shell barely know the difference. my Little man (boyfriend yorkie) had the same thing happen to him... his eye popped out and couldnt be raplaced without loosing all of his sight in in and eventually most likely having more problems. they sewed it shut and very quickly the hair grew out over and and unless u really look u cant really tell hes missing an eye. he doesnt act any different either... the first couple days he would only turn to one side.. but hes adjusted perfectly fine and now we call him winky. lol

She will be fine, I promise. I know this isn't an ideal situation, but Sophie will bounce back and be just fine. I had a little mutt when I was younger that had to stay outside (parents' rules). Another dog came along during the night and fought him, causing his eye to pop out. I didn't find out what had happened, of course, until the next morning. By then, the eye was filthy and tangled up in his facial hair. Rascal lost his eye and had the socket sewn shut. He had a lot of hair like Yorkies do, and to be honest, you didn't notice the difference unless you studied him. He bounced right back to his old self. Dogs have amazing capabilities to cope.

Your little girl will recover from this (as will you). Just give her extra love (out of the Sheltie's view, of course) while she adjusts.

I am so sorry this has happened! Prayers coming for a swift recovery!!!

[Bellas_mommy]

I am just now reading this thread and I am so sorry for what happened to your sweet little Sophie. I will pray for her continued recovery and for your strength during this tragic experience.

***HUGS***

aww my thoughts and prayers go out to you and Sophie! I'd definately keep an appt to get them spayed to be on the safe side. Its so sad when something tragic like that happens. Give her an extra kiss for me... Im sure she'll adjust quickly and be the same little loveable pup! Its not your fault... you couldn't have known that would happen.

I am so sorry the vet couldn't save her eye but she will be coming home and need your love even more. I know she will adjust fine.

[yorkieusa]

My heart goes out to you. She has you to love her and see her through this though.

[llcornell]

Im so sorry. My mother in law's dog had a tumor in her eye and had the eye had to be removed. She recovered so quick and dosent act any different than with both. No one can tell because her hair hangs over her eyes same as our little yorkies look half the time. I hope she recovers fast. Here is a pic I took of her last week. Its more noticable in the pic because of the redeye.

[littlewhip]

how devasting for you praying she has a quick recovery and hugs to you, Im so so sorry
