Thank goodness it all worked out or I'd be kicking myself for not pushing to see her one last time before leaving.... I am just a really shy person and can't bring myself to speak up at times like that.

Oh, I totally understand! I actually drove back to my vet one day to talk to one of mine.

Im glad surgery went well and she didnt lose her eye I know you must be so releived

lexi43 · 04-16-2013, 01:55 PM

See, I knew everything would work out for Layla. I'm really so happy for you and Layla. Now the fun begins. I'ts gonna be worth it. I know when I look at Oliver everything was worth it. His eye is opened now and bright. He still hates his eye drops but he's getting used to it. Give Layla a big kiss from me and Oliver. He was pulling for her also. Keep us posted on how she is doing post op.

linz06 · 04-16-2013, 02:12 PM

I am glad that Oliver is feeling better!!!

Layla is half asleep in my arms so I am typing with one hand lol! She is on 3 different eyedrops 4 times a day for 4 weeks. I hope we can keep up with that!

I'm so happy she is home with you.

You may want to make a little list to note when her drops are given. Max only had one eye med and it became so redundant that I started questioning myself about whether or not I had given it.

Connie · 04-16-2013, 09:00 PM

I'm so glad to hear that all went well! What a little sweetheart! Get well wishes to Layla!

Last night I was giving her drops before bed, and I put in one and then put it back in the box, and then Scott started talking to me about Lucy and I put in the second drops and then thought OH NO!!! I was supposed to wait 5 minutes!!!

I waited 10 minutes or so and then put in the last ones.

Layla didn't have much of an appetite when we got home yesterday, and she slept all evening. She woke up at 1 am and was crying and her stomach was growling. DH got her some food and hand-fed her a whole bowl. We found out she can drink on her own if we use our biggest bowl - it is large enough that her cone will fit inside. But she wasn't content and she cried continuously until we got up. I actually went downstairs at 4:30 to sleep on the sofa for an hour. It didn't help much though, I could still hear her. I don't know if she was in pain or annoyed with the cone or just didn't want to sleep anymore. She stopped crying when we were up and getting ready for work.

I want the next 4 weeks to be over! I hope she starts feeling better soon.

Maximo · 04-17-2013, 06:31 AM

Poor Layla and you! Hope she can sleep through the night tonight.

Oh I hope that too!! I'm so tired I'll probably sleep through the evening and be awake in the night anyway, so I guess it's okay if she's crying lol!

See I told you the hard part is when they come home. I have a schedule on my fridge so I don't forget any of the eye drops but it still gets confusing. Just make sure the cone isn't too big. I had Oliver's cut down because it was way too large. After that he was a little better. He was able to drink water out of a very large bowl but I still had to hand feed him. Thank goodness he cut down his drops and after a few days he's finished with his predisone and clave mox. It's getting to the point now that when he sees me he runs under the bed. This is a very exhausting time but it does get better. When you see Layla all healed you will know how great it feels. Oliver had his cone removed after a week. Maybe if all goes well
Layla will get her's removed sooner. Just think positive thoughts and you're gonna make it.
Give Layla a big kiss from OLiver and me. If I lived near you I would bring Oliver over to see Layla and you can see what a little love and caring can do.

linz06 · 04-17-2013, 11:48 AM

Aww I'm sure Layla would love a visit from Oliver! She sends her doggy love his way

I just went to my grandma's house to give Layla her eye drops. She was soooooooooooooooooooo excited to see me! She was much more herself. My grandma found a larger container for a water bowl because I told her that she might have to hold the little bowl up to Layla's mouth to get her to drink. I mentioned we had one large bowl at home and Layla will drink out of it on her own because her cone fits inside it. So I guess my grandma tried holding the little bowl up to Layla but covered herself in water and thought she'd try just putting out a bigger bowl too lol!

Anyways, she seems to be doing really well today. She has been having lots of naps and my grandma has been spoiling her as usual.

So glad Layla did well and didn't lose her eye. Hopefully the next 4 weeks will fly by.
