Awww well it'll do him good, and he'll feel so much better once he has that eye removed! It looks like it hurts. Good luck and you and & Peej will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Awww, poor Peej. I hope everything goes well with his operation.
Dawn, I have missed you and your fur kids so much! I'm so glad you posted. Poor Peej, bless his heart. He will be in my thoughts and prayers. Your fur kids are as beautiful as ever. :D

I know a few dogs with only one eye, I know one that has both eyes removed and they get on just as well as a dog with 2, please dont worry about that dogs dont let something like that hold them back. He will still be as gorgeous as ever, its sad yes but dogs are very strong and he will be just fine! just make sure you give him lots of love!! :D keep us posted on how everything goes and dont leave again!!! :p
Poor Peej. He will be in my prayers and thoughts. My cousin's dog is blind in one eye and I think he may be slowly going in the other. They say he cannot see right, but he can see the shadows of things, like if he was looking at my cousin he would see his form, but in a dark shadowy way. Good luck, and what cute doggies you have!
Aw, poor Peej! I think he'll be much more comfortable without that eye. I'll keep you guys in my thoughts.
There's those 2 cuties. I sure have missed seeing them. I hope his surgery goes well. Yous will be in my thoughts. Your pups look great!
Hi everyone!
It's nice to be back even though I don't have as much time to post as I used to. I miss seeing everyone! :)
Peej and Bailey have promised to pose for more pic soon. ;)
HI!!! It's so good to see you and Peej and Bailey. I'm sorry that Peej has to have the surgery but I bet he will do great and feel so much better. I'll be sending good vibes that all goes well.
I hope you'll be posting more. I've missed you!
Nice to see you again!
We have all paws crossed for Peej. I hope the surgery is a success and he's feeling better soon.
My brother has a senior cocker spaniel who has glaucoma. Riley has been pretty much blind for years. He had both eyes removed a couple weeks ago. He has no clue that anything has changed, except that he feels better. I hope your sweetie has the same kind of success.
Thanks for all the prayers, good thoughts and crossed paws. :)
Peej came through the sirjury just fine. When I saw him, I cried and when we got in the car to leave the Dr's office, we sat there so I could cry a little more. :(
He'll need to be quiet for a couple of days but his eye doctor doesn't forsee any problems. Peej's eye has been sent to pathology and we'll have the results in a couple of weeks.
And here he is. This was taken about 5 minutes ago.

Poor baby. Peej will look fine once the stitches come out. I hope (the always) handsome pupster isn't in any pain. I'll bet he'll feel better too and won't notice any difference. My friend had a blind Rottie who handled life perfectly, even with the occassional furniture move! I know you feel awful, but you did the right thing. I personally think the steroids would eventually have had more serious side effects. Please wipe your tears and give your honies huge (but gentle) hugs and kisses for me! And xoxo to you too!
Hey Peej, I'm sure that feels much better. You look handsome as always! Give your mom some extra cuddles, ok? :)
I totally agree with Karen. The fact that he has been living without sight in that eye sadly means that he won't notice any difference. The adjustment will be on your part, seeing your sweetie without his eye. He is a handsome little guy just the same. Please give him a couple of gentle hugs from me too. :)Quote:

Things look different to him right now. Like make sure lights are on stairs, and until he learns to turn his head more, things like a ball coming the direction of his eye, he might not be able to see. They learn quick and this should only take a few days to get him use to it. Just protect him, and give him a hug from me !
