<DIV>Hyah ebbryone. Dis is Lacey (NORman's youger sister) pawin
at Momma's 'puter tingy. Phew dis are hard werk! Ennyways, I needs a widdle bit
ob dwool fur my sore eye. U see, I gots sumfin in my eyeball and my Momma took
me to da see da vetlady yesserday. I wike her awot. I wike her so much
dat her ask me to stop lickin her face so she could look in my eye.
She gibbed me sumfin dat made da hurt go away and so I was just thankin her for
dat. I likes to licky licky licky nice peeples. I will let Momma tell you da
rest ob da story......</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Lacey came in night before last with the tissue around her eyeball all red
and swollen to the point I couldn't see her eyeball at all. Freaked me out! I
gave her a benadryl caplet and flushed her eye with sterile eye solution. Within
an hour the swelling went down and she stopped rubbing it. The tissue was very
red around as was her eyeball. I put some antibiotic eye ointment in it
after looking to see if there if I could see if anything was in her eye.
Next morning she seemed a lot better. By yesterday morning the
swelling began to return so I called my vet and they said to be there at 3 pm
and they would work her in. The vet numbed her eye so they could check for any
"foreign object" that might be in there. Found nothing but she felt that their
may have been something that had been under her upper eyelid as there was a blue
mark (bruiing) there. It may have been washed out when I flushed her eye.
We came home with more eye ointment and pain meds plus antibiotics and if it is
not dramatically better in three days, I need to take her back in for further
examination.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am doing my best not to totally freak out. Eye
injuries really upset me after having apuppy who tore the cornea in
his eye once. On a good note, we had an eye exam done on our last show trip
withhad excellent results so I don't think there's a problem that way. Her eye
is better today but still quite red. She wants to go and romp with
her playmates and I won't let her. You cannot believe the mooaning, whing and
noises she makes trying to get me to let her go. She is such a diva princess.
</DIV>
<DIV>So if anyone has a little eye healing drool they can spare, we will
reciprocate with drool to help whenever needed.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks, Jacqie and "Lacey" ("Don't worry Momma, my eye will be all better
by the time we go to the dogs show next Thursday.")</DIV></BODY></HTML>
