Peej *Surgery update*

[mruffruff]

I'm sorry that PJ has to lose the eye. If he can't see with it anyway, he'll probably feel better without it. Sometimes dogs don't let us know when something bothers them.

You might be surprised how quickly he recovers. I think it was only a week after my dog Bear had both eyes removed that he was perky and happy.

Sending prayers for an uncomplicated operation!

It's good to hear from you again. I'm sorry that PeeJ has to have this sirjury but I think that in the end it will be the best thing for him. Years ago, when I was 12, (yes, many years ago ) my father had to have an eye removed. At the time I wasn't told why, and I am sure it was because I would have been too young to understand. Now I wish that I did know, as for the past 12 years I have been working for an ophthalmologist and have a little understanding about such things. My dad did just fine except for hanging up his car keys and I do believe this is a decision that is not entered into hastily either by a vet or human ophthalmologist. I know from my current employment that long-term use of steroids has a detrimental effect and they should only be used temporarily. When my own boss prescribes them it is always to taper and discontinue eventually. I am glad he will be able to go off the meds, and I know he will do fine, so the ((((hugs)))) are for you.

"Dont find yourself up a creek without a poodle"... rofl! Thats great!

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.

Im glad your back! I've missed seeing your dogs! Especially your handsome boy



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!! keep us posted on how everything goes and dont leave again!!!

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!

Peej and Bailey are two of my favourite PT dogs, it's so good to see them again and Peej with one eye is just as gorgeous as ever. Kisses & hugs to them both. You too.

Dawn, I do believe he looks as handsome as ever. Peej will be fine, he'll show you.

Glad to hear Peej did well in surgery. I'm sure he will do well and feel much better once he's all healed up. He is still as adorable as ever.

[Alysser]

Aw, poor Peej! I think he'll be much more comfortable without that eye. I'll keep you guys in my thoughts.

[lv4dogs]

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!

Peej and Bailey have promised to pose for more pic soon.

[jazzcat]

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!
