poor puppy...
my dog oreo had to have eye surgery today. hes a boston terrier and they tend to have eye problems, as you could guess. big bug-eyed dog. anyway, hes doing fine, just sleeping. hes currently curled up next to me and shaking the bed with his snores.
ok, im about to explain what was wrong with him, so if you cant handle medical terms or descriptions of pre- and post-op conditions, skip this section. good? ok. he had endothelial cell dystrophy in his right eye. in english, that means that the cells of his cornea were recieving too much fluid, and bursting. so, he had this growing mass of dead cells just below the surface of his eye. it looked like he had a cataract (cloudy white film on his eye), but those are located deeper in the eye. if this mass of dead cells had not been surgically removed, then he would have eventually lost sight in that eye. clearly, we werent going to allow my little brother to go blind. (yes, my little brother) so they removed the dead cells. they had to stitch the cornea, so he has a rather nasty line across his eye where they drew the flaps of skin closed, but the stitches will dissolve and the eye will clear over the next couple weeks. poor guy, he was pawing at his eye when we picked him up and made it start bleeding, so we had to put one of those god-awful elizabethan collars on him. thats roughly his expression too. talk about adding insult to injury, right? he was not happy with that. no, its not a problem that he was bleeding. if youve ever had stitches, you know that its going to bleed no matter what you do. but its cleared up now that he cant reach it.
ok, if you skipped the last bit, its safe now. so my puppy is sleeping now. poor little guy. ill keep you posted on hw hes doing.
by the way, i posted a new pic yesterday if you havent already seen.
