| poor kia i hope you all the best...last year fendi got soap in her eye at the groomers and it wasnt properly removed...a week after her grooming i realized her eye was getting blury and she kept it shut and winked it a lot so i brought her to the vet and the soap left in her eye ate through 5 or 6 layers of the eye coating and only had i think 2 layers left before she went blind so we tried medication for a few days and it wasnt getting better just worst so she went into emerg. surgery and her eye was stitched up and had a tube comeing out of it...its the saddest thing when i picked her up from surgery it was the saddest thing i cried my eyes out...i couldnt believe it...but she did get her eye back and nothing gets by those eyes either...so i hope i gave you some hope...hopefully the eye went back into the socket and is healing but my prayers go out to you and your baby girl |

| Thank You I appreciate the sympathy and thoughts from everyone; The sight may be lost, (about 80% lose it), but I just hate the thought of her without her eye-she has such a gentle expression. The whole eye/lid, etc is over an inch outside the orb, and is extremely sensitive, of course. I don't think I will sleep much tonight, as the more it is kept iced, the better chance there is of saving it. She is a fantastic patient-I held her most of the day, and she is now curled up in her bed at my feet. When I put the compress on, she keeps her head still despite the pain; she does whimper some. She didn't want any supper of course, but my neighbour brought over some chicken linguine, and Kia ate some of the shredded chicken, but will not drink. I dribble a little water into her mouth occasionally; the collar interferes with normal drinking and eating. This episode has helped me make up my mind; I miss my big dog, but until I am able to find another young enough to adapt to my household, I will not get one. I have been also hoping to find a small playmate for Kia, so I will concentrate on looking for another Yorkie, possibly a rescue, or an adult retired from showing, as I cannot afford to buy a puppy. ps; the avatar picture is Kia, taken in May. |

| You should definitely get her to an eye specialist right away. If they act fast, there are things they can do. My toy poodle lost sight in one eye because of an accident with a German Shepherd. My dog totally provoked the big one but the German Shep. had been around my poodle since it was a baby and always would let him have his way. One time though, Dax (my poodle) tried to take a bone away from Sam (the Shepherd) and after Sam let him do it a few times and take it back from Dax, he finally had enough I guess and gave Dax what I'm sure he thought was just a little nip of a warning. Well, his tooth punctured the top of Daxton's head and nicked the nerve that goes to the back of the eyeball. Dax's eye was bulging out.... it was so scary! Our vet told us that we would have to wait and see how much damage there was but after a week or so, the eye started to shrink. It was definitely "dead". We live close to Texas A&M (vet school) so our vet recommended taking Dax to an eye dr. there. They were able to do surgery and save the eyeball. A little gross description here so look away if you don't want to read it.... ..... they took the eyeball out, scooped out the "dead stuff" and put a prosthetic piece in the eyeball. Then they closed it up, put in back in and anchored it in somehow. From then on, Dax always looked like he had a cataract on it because it was gray instead of brown but wasn't nearly as obvious as if we would have had to have his eye sewn shut! He was only about 8 months old and I just couldn't see him living with his eye socket sewed up. That prosthetic eye lasted and did very well for the rest of his 15 years! Don't mean to go on about my experience but I do want you to know that there are other options besides sewing it shut. Please let us know how it all turns out and give that baby a hug from me and Tatum!!

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | OMG that poor baby !! She is a beautiful girl and I really hope this heals and she gains back her site but if she doesn't - at least she's alive. I think you're right to now stick to small dogs - 2 attacks are 2 too many...most little dogs aren't so lucky to have another chance. Wishing her all the best...she looks so pitiful in her collar I just want to kiss on that little face |

| Oh My God!! I will pray for Kia's eye to get better. Lila, just be easy on yourself, I am sure you are giving her all the care possible and I am sure she knows that you would not want any ham to her. Take Care

| I'm so sorry this happened to your baby, and certainly hope all ends up the best for her. She looks like a doll.
