My Poor Eye

On Sunday afternoon, after a fierce battle with my cousin, Miss Bailey (she is a 6 pound rat terrier, chihuahua and yorkie mix among other things), my mommy discovered something wrong with my eye!

After four hours waiting in line at the emergency vet, I was diagnosed with "cherry eye." They fitted me with an E-collar (dag-nabbit!) and my mommy has to put an antibiotic ointment in my eye three times a day. I have not been too cooperative.

Yesterday we went to the regular vet who tested my tear production. I got to 20 in my healthy eye and 16 in the affected eye. He wants me to stay on my medication until this Sunday. If I'm not better by then, they will start preparing me for surgery!!

Hi Rocco! I had cherry eye

Submitted by Gabbi on Tue, 08/05/2008 - 4:16pm.

Hi Rocco! I had cherry eye a few weeks back. Our vet suggested the surgery and I had it done and now you can't even tell it! All I had to do was put eye drops in my eyes for about 10 days after the surgery. They say it happens to smaller dogs and the probability will be high for my other eye. And later on down the road my eyes will probably drier than most and will have to use eye drops regularly, but that's okay, at least it's not medicine in my food. If you have any questions, please ask and I'll help you feel better, don't be worried, it's nothing!
