Think of Mz Logan, Please *update 3/10/09*

[K9karen]

Luckily I haven't ever had to start a post under Health for Mz Logan. But I noticed today that there was a slight growth on top of her left eyelid. It's hard to explain, but as of this morning, her lashes are stuck together and crusty. She only rubbed her eye once that I noticed, and believe me, I've been watching her like a hawk. Her eye itself seems OK. She's been letting me raise her lid and look at it, so I don't think it hurts, but it has to be annoying. It looks cyst like, but it developed overnight, or so I think. I hug and kiss her all day and didn't notice anything terrible yesterday. It seemed to pop up overnight. My first thought was that she hurt herself outside, from a branch or maybe a critter.

Anyway, she has a vet appointment at 1030a on Wed. with my fave doc, the owner. He hasn't seen Logan since I got her, as he's cut his hours, but I take it as a good omen that I got an immediate appointment with Dr Fox (cute, huh?)

Please, if you have time and remember, keep Mz Klo in your thoughts that nothing is serious with her big beautiful brown eye. Thanks all. :love:

[Taz_Zoee]

I will be thinking of Logan tomorrow and I really hope it is something that can easily be fixed. :)

[dukedogsmom]

Kisses and well wishes for Klo. I do hope it's something simple and not serious. At least you didn't have to wait long for an appointment. Leaves less time for worrying.

[Karen]

Aww, poor K-lo, we'll be thinking of her!

[Freedom]

Prayers for K-Lo!

When RB Ozzy arrived here as a foster he has an eyelid cyst. His was in a position such that it rubbed the eye every time he blinked. :( The vet was able to remove it in a half day stay, with sedation, not anesthesia.

I do hope this one is similarly easy to deal with!

[lizbud]

Prayers & positive thoughts for Mz Logan.:) I hope it's only a minor
problem. (((Hugs))) Logan.

[Catty1]

Prayers it's just a little bitty thing and that Ms Logan is just fine!:love:

[cassiesmom]

THoughts and prayers for Mz Logan :love:

[Husky_mom]

sounds like a reaction to something for it to pop overnight.. let´s just hope that´s what it was and she soon be back to have non crusty eyes...

hugs to you both.... hmm... Dr. Fox....y... ;)

[Daisy and Delilah]

My thoughts and prayers are going out. I'm anxious to hear how the vet visit went.

[molucass]

Sending good thoughts for you and Logan.

Please update us on how the vet visit went when you get a chance.

[dukedogsmom]

Checking back to see how the vest visit want.

Thinking of logan and wondering how it went?

[K9karen]

Thank you my lovely, wonderful friends, for your concern! I know how hard it can be to worry about a pet other than your own, so I really, really appreciate it with all my :love:

Whew! It's *only* a tear duct infection. Dr sweet, handsome, adorable, gave me hugs and kisses Dr Fox (he took care of RB Cody for 11+ years and cried his eyes out when Cody was PTS) said it wasn't serious, but needs attention. So Mz *I'll show you my teeth but not bite* Logan, is on prednisone ointment on her eyelid (first time was a breeze until she realized what was going on regardless of endless cookies) and antibiotics 2x a day until March 14, when she will have it *fixed*. She's also had a teeny weeny piece of skin on her inside lid forever, but it's not affected her cornea or vision, but they'll remove that too. And do her *talons*

Logan is already looking better since her 1st dose of antibiotic and cream. It doesn't seem to bother her now at all. She lets me stare at it and touch her eye, but the 2nd coating of ointment was difficult. She never ever bites, but moves away and bares her teethies to scare me, but she's a phoney baloney. Doc Fox said the only negative result is that her left eye may look slightly smaller than the other. That freaked me out. Logan has the biggest brown eyes ever and the longest lashes.

Anyway..*brag brag*, he couldn't believe the difference in her personality. A bit stressed, but she took treats from his hand, accepted his rubs, leaned against him. He loves her and I got another tight hug for doing a fantastic job on her! She was so good. Lots of praise and kisses.

Thanks again, all. Of course, I'm so grateful that it's not serious and it'sher 1st medical problem, other than hip dysplasia which isn't too bad with proper care. But, as you all know, I'll be beside myself until she out of surjury. I won't even go home to wait (no Klo in the house), but I will be in the room when they knock her out before operating.

:love::love::love::love::love::love: you guys.

[captain]

Glad everything is OK. WHEW ...

Thinking of you still.:)

[caseysmom]

Oh good thats a relief.

[lizbud]

I'm so glad Ms Logan did so well at the Vets.:) I hope the meds heal
up the eyelid. So, will the Vet remove the lump on the 14th?

[Daisy and Delilah]

I'm really glad to hear it's nothing serious. Feel better sweetheart!!

I can't stop laughing at the part about her being a phoney baloney.:D :D :D

[K9karen]

The new sirjury date is March 4. That was the original date but I didn't want to wait until the afternoon and have her caged all day. There was a cancellation so she'll be #1. That's so much better. I think she's uncomfortable (looks like a huge red pimple or sty) 'cause I've had no problem with the ointment today. She's accepting it...that is until the chase is on...:rolleyes::p

[Logan]

I'm sorry I didn't see this before, Karen. Glad she is doing better and hopefully everything will go well on the 4th! I'm sure it will.

[Husky_mom]

will be keeping her and you on our thoughts....

sounds good you both had plenty "treats" ;)...

[*LabLoverKEB*]

Sorry I missed this thread, Karen! I know exactly how scary lumbs and bumps on our babies can be! I'm so glad that it's just a tear duct infection, which can be easily treated! (((HUGS))) to you and Logan!:love:

[K9karen]

Mz Logan had her eye surgery today. It only took an hour but she was caged up until 430p.

The doc was debating whether to operate since her infection got worse, despite meds. But she carefully thought it over and decided that an opthamologist would do the same procedure. She's a great surgeon so I trust her.

She wouldn't be able to avoid making Logan's left eye look smaller than the right one. Logie has about a 1 inch incision over her eye with stitiches. It's very swollen and she's on Rimadyl for a few days, and a antibiotic cream. The worse part is her cone head. She's gotten it off 2x already but I quickly got it back on. It's on pretty sturdy, but she was determined. She's ramming into things and hesitates doing steps. The doc took a biopsy so we hope all is OK. I've been hobbling without crutches, completely forgetting about my foot cast because my main concern is my sweet baby-boo.

I know her eye problem isn't as bad as some other ailments our pups have here, but I'm still a nervous wreck and won't sleep until next week when stitches are out and I know she's OK. It's so dumb that I'm concerned about her physical features. She has the most beautiful huge brown eyes. I feel terrible for thinking of such a stupid thing.

If you remember, please keep my booboo in your thoughts.

[Husky_mom]

don´t be silly your baby´s boo boo is also something to worry about... no matter if other issues sound more worrying... anything happening to any furbutt is equally concerning and deserving of good thoughts and healig vibes...

and don´t think that your concern for her physical looks is dumb... we all think about our cuties looks...what mommy wouldn´t be

but no matter what, Mz K-Lo will always be just as cute

[captain]

OF Course you are worrying about her eyes ..... they drew you to her initially. That is totally ok, and we understand, you know that :)
Wishing her a speedy recovery.

[Logan]

I'm sure our girl is in good hands now that she is back home with mom. Keep us posted on how the recovery is going. I don't envy the e-collar. :eek: Mine would have a stroke if they had to wear one.
Love you girls. :love:
Logan, Honey, Baby Mack, Ben and Butter

Karen I am late getting to this thread but just wanted to say how happy that I am for you that it is over and she is back with you. Too bad you couldn't have brought her into my office. My boss does these kinds of procedures all the time, but I doubt Mz. Logan would have wanted to sit still in the chair. LOL! Kisses to your sweetie from her auntie. :)

[Daisy and Delilah]

Awwwwww.......Karen, it doesn't matter how big or how small, when our babies hurt, we hurt. There is nothing too small in my book.

I will keep sending out thoughts and prayers. Feel better sweetie pie!!!

{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}

[K9karen]

No more lamspshade head!
The operating vet did a terrific job! Mz Klo's eyelid is still a bit red and swollen but after a few more days of medicine she should be fine. She looks almost the same, and is as happy as can be! She's been playing and running around and smiling, smiling, smiling!

We had to muzzle her only during the last stitch which was under her eyelid, otherwise she was awesome!!! She endured everything so well.

Now, if I can get more pictures...she'll be totally 100% perfect!
Thanks for your comments and prayers!

[Daisy and Delilah]

Great news!!! That pretty girl is doing so much better and making us all happy!!:)

[lizbud]

I am so glad to know how brave Ms Klo has been though all this.
I am sure she looks just as gorgeous as ever, mom Karen.:D
