[Dailydrool] Glaucoma and Browser

[Sally K. Russell]

I just read the very interesting post from Rose, Ann and Fred.  I do believe that bassets' sense of smell is so crucial.  Browser is still adapting and wanders around exploring every room as if it were a new place to learn.  His disposition remains ever so sweet and if this had happened to me, I am sure I would be growling and howling.  The opthamologist vet told us his retina was not damaged but there is some swelling of the fibers which surround the optic nerve.  She feels he may yet regain some of his sight in that eye.  If so, at that point she may put in a shunt to drain off the fluid.  His pressures have remained normal on the new and increased eyedrop regimen since the night of the pressure spike. She does not believe laser surgery is the answer as the results do not last.

However, we have resigned ourselves to the fact that his sight will not return.  I am thankful to so many of the Droolers who have e-mailed me back channel.  The support on this listserve means all the world to me.
