Brody pawing at his eye I noticed Brody pawing at his eye excessively this AM. so we're off to the vet :( |
I sure hope Brody is ok. Maybe just a minor problem. Poor baby. He is so cute. |
Awe prayers for Brody. Keep us posted. |
I hope hes okay when my chachi did that it ended up being a hole in the cornea I quess its called an ulcer. Ahyway it cleared up after we put eye drops in from the vet |
Oh sweet Brody, I hope you feel better soon. You've been through a lot already and now this ... |
Awww...poor guy..first his snip snip and now the little eye. Prayers everything is ok!! |
Hope it turns out to be just a minor irritation. |
Poor kiddo:( I'm glad that you are taking him in right away:) Hopefully it's a minor thing. Hugs to you both:love:! |
Hope Brody is ok. |
Praying for Brody that it is nothing. I'm glad you got him to the vet right away. Max is like Chachi and has had corneal ulcers. No fun! |

That was a really strange vet visit (but his eyes are fine). We got there and usually the vet tech put him on the scale, but she had me do it. Brody tried to run away and I laughed and she gave us a lecture about how we're the parents and we can't let dogs walk all over us. Then we see the vet, and his eyes look excellent apparently! She said if the scratching continues, to come back. She said maybe since he had his cone on from the neuter he's been wanting to scratch his eye and he couldn't. Now that it's off, he can so he is? His hair is pretty long and maybe it was getting in his eye. Anyways, she said his teeth already have signs of severe tartar buildup :eek: :eek: :eek: which I was upset about because they didn't tell me that at the neuter, when he got his baby teeth removed. Anyway, I've been trying to brush (i've been lax for the last week because of his neuter) but I really have to amp it up and do a better job. I don't think she believed me when I said I do brush his teeth :( :( :(. I'm just not great at it -- and I'm going to be much more diligent starting now :(. |
It does not matter if you brush their teeth...it can help, but if a pup is prone to periodontal issues, they will need dentals. I agree, you should have been told so it could be done when the neuter was done. |

Glad to hear Brody\'s eye is okay. If the scratching continues, I would insist on having a fluorescein stain test done. It is quick, easy, and inexpensive. This is the only way to see if there is a tiny scratch or ulcer that may escape examination with the naked eye. Although usually the white of the eye gives a clue too by being bloodshot or the under lid being red and irritated looking. Definitely work on keeping the hair out of his eye. I know it is a constant battle and I check my guys frequently in bright light after what Max went through. The vet tech was inappropriate. Ignore her. |
