Julan woke up this morning with a wound/blister/edema/injury on her cornea. Not how we planned to spend our weekend but off to the hospital we went, and she was prescribed antibiotics every six hours for a week.

And I get it that they write it the way they always do, I do, but in the stress and exhaustion after all that on top of a hectic week...

"Four times per day in the right eye." Thanks a lot for clarifying that so I don't have to guess!

I found that amusing and wanted to share.

Sean doesn’t like to be told no as you can tell by his attitude

Ms. Kumquat is now 7.5 weeks old. She is fat, happy, and exploring. She eats well, uses litter confidently, and jumps on and off the couch with ease. Absolutely no fear in this little peanut.

And to brag - she passed Litter 101 in about 18 hours at only 4.5 weeks. I’ve had many kittens her age not even try.

Her stitches are out but we’re dealing with some scabs still. Vet says she’s fine!

Photos progress in age order from 4.5 weeks to 7.5 weeks old.

Thanks so much to EVERYONE who commented on my previous post, giving tips, encouragement and love. I cant wait to see him fully recovered!

Hiii, It's been way too long since I updated you all about him. He's doing so well, and it was last week he got the vet's approval of finally removing his cone. He's on his journey in regaining his mobility(? or eyesight? He's struggling to distinguish the distance..). But all in all, he's been great! Now he just kinda refuses to jump on our couch and go up the kitchen. Hope he gets used to it soon 🥹

This sweetheart is ready for a furever home!

My 15 year old bichon Oli is one week post his eye removal surgery today. I am beyond grateful for this page as it eased so much anxiety I had about the op. Thanks all 😊

Our 11 year old pug Siggy (pics on profile) is having his right eye removed due to an ulcer. He was blind in that eye anyways so its not a huge loss in functionality. But Ive never had a dog go through this kind of surgery before and would love some advice.

Hes been under anesthesia before and done well, no complications. And the place we're going to has a lot of experience with flatnosed dogs.

My dog is almost two months post-op, and I'd like to know if it's normal for him to still have a small opening in his eye, as you can see in the photo. The vet who treated him removed the stitches and didn't mention anything about it. I've seen pictures of other dogs like this, and they don't have an opening. Sometimes he gets little tears in his eye, and I think that's normal, but I'm not sure. I'm planning to take him to another vet, but since it's much farther away, we haven't been able to arrange it yet.

My sweet girl 8 months after her enucleation. Still the happiest girl in the world 💖

My one eyed, toothless baby.

As apple head Chi's sometimes do Frankie's eye popped out after a bonk on the head. 5k of surgery later and she's a pirate! Gonna be paying off that bill for a long while but happy to still have her.

My 6-year-old Bouvier/standard poodle mix, Willow, lost her right eye to primary glaucoma at age two. Now it's started in her left eye, her only remaining eye. She's had a couple of pressure spikes that caused temporary blindness, and drops are holding it for now.

Our veterinary ophthalmologist is recommending a combined glaucoma shunt and endolaser surgery to try to save her vision.

Has anyone's dog had this done? I'd really like to know:

Was it effective, and how long did your dog keep its vision?

How was the recovery?

Knowing what you know now, would you do it again?
