Chrissy's eye - good update!

Well it turns out that it is infected, so she is on antibiotics for the next 9 days. The vet cleaned everything away and only a small hole had developed along the suture line. She is hoping that the hole will close up once the infection is gone.

But if that doesn't happen or the infection comes back Chrissy will have to go in for exploratory surgery to see what the problem is. Unfortunately we have no idea what caused the problem in the first place so surgery might be in her future again

Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers, now we just have to concentrate on getting the infection cleared up and the hole healed.

Oh goodness, I'm so sorry that little Chrissy is going through this after all else she's been through. We'll definitely add her to the prayer list and you, too. Here's some prayers right now that she'll heal quickly w/no more problems......

Oh I am praying that it will clear up and she won't have to have exploratory surgery. Thanks for taking such good care of her!

You and me both, are hoping that she doesn't need more surgery.

I am just not sure what caused this four months after the actual surgery. If she was going to have a reaction it should have been at that time

We are keeping our fingers crossed that the antibiotics will clear it up and the hole seals itself, so that she will not need surgery again.

I figure that she is eating, sleeping, and playing just like before so it can't be bothering her too much I think it just bothers Mom more than her...

Poor Chrissy. I too would have thought that if she was going to have a problem it would have been closer to the time of her original surgery. Chrissy and you will be in my thoughts.

She had the same surgery as Gracie did. Did Gracie ever have any problems with it once everything was healed up?
