<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
