Peej *Surgery update*

[PJ's Mom]

Hi everyone,

I know it's been awhile since I posted much of anything, but I still lurk almost everyday and thought that some of you might like to know the latest on Peej and his "boo boo" eye.

His eye doctor and I decided last month that it's best for Peej to get off the steroids he's been on to keep his eye under control. So, this Friday he will have his left eye removed. It's supposed to be a fairly easy procedure...he'll go in at 9:00am and be home by 2:00pm. He'll have to be kept quiet for a week or so to let the incision heal.

I keep telling myself that he's not using the eye anyway (he's now 95% blind), and that it looks really bad and that he'll be better off without it.

That doesn't keep me from getting sad when I think about him losing it.

Please pray for my boy and I'll try to get some pics posted as soon as I can.

It's nice to hear from you. I'm sorry Peej has to lose his eye. I will keep him in my prayers that everything goes well. I miss seeing Peej. Please keep us updated.

I will put your baby in prayer. I am not sure what happened, but I trust my vet, and I am sure you trust yours as well... !

Dawn, I was just refreshing PT one more time before going to bed, just about turned my monitor off and then saw the name "Peej" in the index.

It's so great to hear from you and I have been wondering how everyone is doing?

I'm sure Peej will do fine and will certainly adjust to it well as his vision wasn't great in that eye to begin with. I will be thinking of the both of you tomorrow - stay strong for your boy!

Hugs to all of you....

Thanks everyone.

Kay, it's great to see you. I'm surprised you still have time to post with everything going on. Thank God Kiara was found safe and sound. Give all your babies hugs and kisses from me.

As promised, here are some pics.

Peej and his boo boo eye...





and of course Bailey is dropping in too.





That's all for now.

[borzoimom]

Pooooooooooor baby!!! In prayer for sure but I am sure he will feel better after the operation.

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

I was so happy to see a post from you, Dawn! I've missed seeing you, Peej, and Bailey around.

I'm sure Peej will be just fine and will adjust extremely easily.
Good luck! Please try to update as as to how he's doing afterwards.

I hope he feels better soon! And hugs all around

[luvofallhorses]

Did you loose your baby? I am sorry- I dont know but HALLELUIA!!! LOL..

[Jadapit]

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.

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.

[PJ's Mom]

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!
