That is weird. Were the puppies vet checked prior to being sent? I don't want to offend you, it is just my girl suffers from EXTREME dry eye due to the absence of tear production in her left eye. She has had ulcers an eye infections in the past, something pretty easy to find by a vet. However, it has NEVER been suggested to me to have her eye removed.:eek: Even by the ophthamologist we were referred to. I think I would seek additional care before following this advice. Good Luck. |
I dont know either how an eye could become so infected in 1 week that it needs to be removed. Of course I am no vet either. Just letting you know though. I saw a puppy with an eye infection and had NO clue it had an infected eye. The eyes both looked clear,it was not closing one eye or squinting, nothing oozing out of it either. It was only a vet that checked the eyes under light and saw it had an infection but it took more than a week to know about this infection. Get it to another vet and ask for their opinion. DONT tell them that the other vet suggested the only solution was to remove the eye. Sometimes vets tend to agree with what another vet says. A good honest vet will tell you what he/she would do if it was their dog. Gen |

I am very glad to hear this. Please keep us posted and I hope you can save the eye. |
Thank for your prays. |
I am so sad to havr read your thread. A very young puppy , who is losing an eye in a week's worth time, due to an infection? My only thoughts are that the puppy was not seen by a vet as soon as possible , and things became worse very quickly . At 9 weeks old the puppy should still be with it's littermates and mother. 12weeks old is the ideal age a yorkie puppy can go to a new home. This is what is so upsetting. I know a dog can live fine with one eye. However, the fact is this is a very young pup, which places the pup more in danger. The pup has not even been vaccinated either, which makes things worse . I would not even know how a young pup could of become so severely injured either. All of this is absolutey heartbreaking. What makes me wonder is how much of this was preventable? I hope and pray that this little yorkie baby will be ok and come out of this well. What a shame that it happened . Money should not be a concern right now, giving the best vet care to the pup needs to be number one priority. |

:thumbup: Yeah something is not right that this pups eye became so infected in a week. Whole thing is very sad. E. |
One of my puppies got his eye scratched by a sibling and it got infected. It does happen pretty quickly but we were able to save his eye and he has no permanent damage to his eye. We did treat him it seems like forever. Is your puppy on antibiotics and antibiotic eye ointment. We also used atropine drops for the first few weeks. After the first day, he was not in any pain but it did take quite awhile for his eye to clear up and it's still got one small area that is a little light colored. I hope your poor puppy doesn't have to lose his eye! |
Thanks for caring, we won't know for sure until she see's a eye doc SAt. morning. I praying that they can save it!! she is on antibiotics and eye ointment for now. |
