Frankie has something wrong with his eye.

[beeniesmom]

I woke up a few hours ago and noticed that Frankie has a swollen sack coming out of his right eye.

It's pretty gross looking.

I really hope it's not what I think it is: cherry eye.

I already called the vet and they will be able to see him in about an hour.

I am just waiting now.

I have already had two cries this morning. I hope it's just an irritation.... but it looks like cherry eye. It's very nasty.

I will take a pic of it and post it later.

For now, I'll just post pics that I took in the last 10 days.
sigh...

Beenie and Frankie snoozing on the couch.
Yes, Beenie is wearing a diaper. She is in heat.
Will get spayed in a month.





Snoozing in my lap.



Spooning.



Frankie snoozing in the pillows.







Chewing the dingo bone gramma got him.

Those pictures are just adorable as always. They are two of our cutest PT dogs. You know how much we love them!! Hang in there Carmen-we're praying for all of you!!

Here are the photos of his eye.

WARNING GRAPHIC

Sorry that they are fuzzy.

He wouldn't stay still for me to take a good one.
Nothing keeps my man down! He's all about play play play.

Perhaps Frankie's eye is just scratched? Did he & "the Bean" play a little rough? I hope he'll be okay. Please keep us posted.

Carmen, those pictures are gorgeous!

Tell Frankie that Peej knows what it's like to have eye problems and it's not very fun, so he sould get better very soon.

[beeniesmom]

Off to the vet.
Will update you as soon as possible.

Good luck little man

Good luck little cutie! And to you, Carmen, as well.

I got back from the vet.
I’m at the office now and Frankie is with me.
Dr. Dunn confirmed what I was afraid of.
He has cherry eye and will require surgery.
She said it’s not urgent but needs to be taken care of.
If we don’t take care of it he may go blind later in life and he will have the sack protruding until it’s fixed.
I scheduled for them to operate on Oct. 4th. He was supposed to get neutered at the end of October but since this came up they will do both at the same time so they won’t have to put him under anesthesia twice.
I am very sad. He looks miserable with this thing in his eye. It doesn’t seem to be bothering him. I have already applied an eye cream that they gave me for him. I need to put it in twice a day.

Don't worry Carmen. Maggie had cherry eye when she was a little pup too. I was so scared for her, but she pulled through just fine and it has been great ever since. Have not had problems with it ever again. Maggie was about 3 months when she had her surgery. She probably only weighed 3-4 pounds, so I have them run blood tests on her to make sure she was okay before surgery and that she could handle the anesthesia. Those are great pics of Beenie and Frankie. They look so comfy snoozing away in your lap.

Awww, Carmen, I'm sorry, but if I can add a little sunshine, I'd like to.

This isn't too terrible. It's treatable and you caught it very early. Maggy had to have her little eye operated on because she had an ulcerated cornea. I, too, was devasted so I know how you feel. And Maggy was the same as Frankie in that it didn't seem to bother her.

Good luck!

Ah Carmen, I am sorry to hear that. But you are a good Mom and caught it early. I am sure Frankie will be fine. It will probably be more stressful on you. {{{Big Hugs}}} to you and Frankie. And thanks so much for sharing those precious pictures. Both of your kids are so cute.
