My RB dog, Ted E. Bear, had both eyes removed when he was 11. I don't remember any major bleeding, just a little seepage. He was much happier after the surgery than in the month before. He had developed glaucoma. We had been treating him with drops in the eyes for several months to keep the pressure in the eyes down. He was already blind, so we decided to stop the pain and remove the eyes completely. He came home on the day after surgery. No cone and no crate. The other three dogs didn't seem to notice, but they were used to not playing with him.

He lived for 4 more years, happily exploring the yard on his own and cuddling on the couch. I hope Mrs. Magoo does just as well.
