Jadie's got to have surgery :( - update #16 - PT Angels have struck again!

[Freedom]

Prayers for Jadie, that the tear production increases, and the surgery goes well.

What is the eye stuff you have just now? I've used Optimune ( a gel, I make a mess with it) and .2% cyclosporine which I MUCH prefer.

The eye stuff now is a gel. We have to put a small amount on her eye twice a day.

Attaching the photo of her eye. It's really dirty, in addition to having the growth on it.

Aww, Jadie, I hope the medicines work and the surgery goes well.

Aw, poor Jadie. I'll bet the growth is uncomfortable.

I hope you can feel a bit better when I tell you that my Logan had a tear duct growth removed twice in her right eye. I was beside myself because it was a delicate surgery and may have resulted in her eye looking smaller and uneven. Thankfully, the vet did an excellent job (tears of joy) and Logan looks perfectly normal.

I too, had to use ointment 2x a day and drops. It wasn't so bad, just messy. Worse for me than Logan, I think. Worse part, the dreaded Elizabethan collar! Lots of clunks using steps and ramming into things, but she mustered the storm like a trooper!

And, everything was benign. All is fine.

It's hard not to worry, but I'm sure Jadie will be fine and as good as new!!! Lots of good thoughts coming your way.

Poor Jadie. Looks like that would be very uncomfortable for her. I hope
the medicine helps her feels better. Even having an eyelash in my eye drives
me crazy, so I can imagine how much more irritating that lump would be.
