Aww what a sweet baby boy, it does look like he has a content little smile, glad he is not in pain anymore. |
The picture was taken a few hours after his vet appointment. He's usually squimish whenever we take him to the vet. I told him that I will take him to the park if he'll be a good boy and sit still. Which he actually managed to do :) |
Great looking little fella!! |
Glad to hear that your cute fella is doing well. HAHa on Maximo's comment about war stories. Made me chuckle:) |
Aww he is adorable! Glad he is healing well. |
Update on Danny's condition: I took Danny to the vet and found out his ulcer is not healing. The vet referred us to an eye specialist for surgery. Has anyone ever had to take their dog to an eye specialist? Would getting insurance for Danny be recommended? If so, which insurance is best for him? |
My Cali sees an eye specialist to keep track of her cataracts. She does have insurance but she had it before they found the cataracts. I don't know if insurance would consider his problem as pre-existing or not. You soul just have to contact several,of them and ask. Good luck! Will keep him in my prayers. |
Eye specialist Poor Danny, so sorry his ulcer is not healing yet. It is good he is seeing an eye specialist , they can work wonders when the regular vet cannot help. My dog had cataract surgery by an eye specialist and they really know what is best to do. I pray that a non surgical solution can be found to help your baby and that he gets well soon. As for insurance, it is now a pre existing condition and would not probably be covered for the eye issues. However, it is a good idea to get insurance should anything else crop up. There are threads here that give advice on and experiences with different insurances. Please read up on insurance so that you know what questions to ask to get the best coverage for your pet. I have Trupanion with zero deductible, it is very good but tends to be more expensive for 0 deductible. Some insurers charge the deductible per illness and some per year....important to check out. Also, some insurers charge more as the dog ages. |
I am very sorry to hear that Danny's ulcer is not healing. A specialist is definitely a good idea. Is the ulcer deep? Did the vet say what kind of surgery? Max had one ulcer that would not heal after 2 weeks of meds. He was scheduled to have a 'grid keratotomy' where a grid is scratched into the cornea to help it heal. Miraculously, Max's ulcer healed the morning his surgery was scheduled. Surgery was canceled. Without knowing the particulars of Danny's ulcer, just wanted to share again a couple things that helped Max (along with meds and vet treatment): keeping him from overheating. Fresh, cool morning and evening air helped him heal. I discovered his eye reacted badly to saline, even the non-preservative kind. I kept all water out of eye -- didn't bathe his head. With his last ulcer, it was over a month after he healed before I gave him a full bath. I had to be very careful with him outdoors, not allow him to stick his face in the grass or bushes. Carried him a lot. Had to be vigilant about keeping hair out of his eyes. Danny and you are in my thoughts and prayers. |
This is a good reference for non-healing ulcers: Non-healing corneal ulcers in dogs |
