Peej *Surgery update*

[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!

Hey Peej, I'm sure that feels much better. You look handsome as always! Give your mom some extra cuddles, ok?

After the swelling goes down, the stictches heal and the hair starts to grow back, he will be just fine. Meanwhile it is hard not to feel sorry for the poor little guy, but actually I bet he feels better than all the irratation it caused before. Remember to protect him for a few days. 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 !

Welcome back Dawn. It's so good to hear from you again. Kisses and hugs to Peej. What a beautiful boy he is

[Ginger's Mom]

I was thinking about you and Peej all day yesterday. Glad to hear that the surgery went well, and that he is home recovering. All things considered his eye doesn't look that bad, and it will be much better once the swelling goes down and the healing begins. I do think it will be harder for you to adjust to than it will Peej. {{{Hugs}}} to you and to that handsome fellow. Please keep us updated as he improves.

[Alysser]

Still as handsome as ever!

[pitc9]

What?? I don't see anything different with your handsome man!

He'll always be sweet Peej! 1 or 2 eyes!
I'm sure this is hard for you, but ya know what... the only thing he notices is that his eye doesn't bother him anymore and he doesn't understand why your sad!

Hugs to all 3 of you! I'm glad you came back to let us know about this!

I'm so glad Peej did well in surgery. even though he has just one eye, he is still handsome as ever. give the sweet boy a gentle hug for me and Bailey, too!

[Muddy4paws]

Im glad everything went well, thats the most important thing! His eye will look alot better once its cleared up, I think he still looks as good as ever! Try and cheer up he will be perfectly fine, I bet its a relief for him to be cleared of having a bad eye

[PJ's Mom]

Thanks everyone. Maybe my reaction was partially due to the relief that his surgery was a success.

Bailey keeps sniffing it. I guess she knows something is wrong.

I personally think the steroids would eventually have had more serious side effects.

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.
