|  Is this a scratch or something? Poor little Gracie  I hope the meds work. Can she open her eye? how is she with allowing you plaicing the medication in her eye? Many thoughts and prayers going out to Gracie.

| Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator  | Did the vet stain the eye to see what it was - or just assess it and give the meds? Most vets will stain the eye to see if the cornea is actually scratched and/or if something is lodged. If something is lodged, they need to get it out of there. This is not your fault, Jessica, don't beat yourself up; these things happen and you'll get her through this. Hugs.

. I wonder why she woke up whining at 3:45am this morning  I hope she's not in any pain? I'm glad you're going to go see an OP just in case, better to be safe than sorry!!! Poor baby girl deserves lots of extra treats when you get home LOL . You're a great mommy!!!

| ok so... Gracie had something in her eye!!! the op said that it was like a metallic gold thing that looked like a cinnamon roll...  so she said that there are 3 layers of the lense on your eye... and this thing was stuck 30% of the way in her 2nd layer... she didnt know if she was going to be able to get it out with just a q-tip and a really small needle... she was worried that she would go too deep and "rupture the eye" so then they would have to put her under and get a a laser to cut her lense and get the thing out... well... she was able to get the ting out!!!! YAY so they took a culture of the area that thing was stuck.. and they wont know for 72 hours... so we will see if we need to give her any other meds then the drops that they gave me...so like I said they gave me some antibiotic drops that are diff. from the other antibiotics...but shes doing SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER!!! she was sooooooooooooooooooooo BRAVE!!! Im sooooooooooooooooooo PROUD of her!!! they gave me the thing that was in her eye... Im not home right now... so I dont have my camera with me... so I will take a pic of it later tonight... and post maybe tonight maybe tomorrow... I dont know when Im going to get home... again I just want to THANK ALL OF YOU!!! it means sooooooooooooo much to me to have all of your support and love!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

| Jessica you rock!! I am SO PROUD of you for following your mommy instinct and taking her in regardless of being advised to wait. You should feel so good about yourself. Gracie is sooooo lucky to have such a good mommy!!
