Ugh, it’s been a bad couple of months for my pets. It started with having Tricki Woo put to sleep due to his escalating dementia, and moved on a few weeks ago to the discovery that my 19-y-o kitty Peach has developed mammary tumors despite being spayed as an adolescent and who is also acting like her thyroid meds need to be adjusted (we have an appointment next week).
Then I came home last week to be met at the door by Murphy, my pug/chi mix, with one of his eyes bloody and out of the socket.
I rushed him to the vet, where they put him under, cleaned and checked the eye, and popped it back in place. Luckily there was no sign of trauma. Then they sutured the eyelid closed, except for a gap to apply ointment. He came home with a ton of meds, and looking horrible.
Most of the swelling has finally gone down, and he goes back to the vet to get one of the the three sutures removed in a few days. Then the last two will be removed a week later.
But apparently there’s no guarantee that the eye will stay in afterwards, in which case it would have to be removed. And no guarantee whether he would still have any sight in it if it stays in.
So I’d love to hear about anyone else’s experiences with this!
