<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Beth, like you I just lurk. However, I just
had to go through eye removal with my 8 1/2 year old, Dudley, due to glaucoma
(his pressure was at 55!) He came through with flying colors and no, I did
not do a prosthesis. My friend, Anne, did one on her basset and said she
would not do it again. The reason is that her dog has now lost the other
eye and people tend to think she can see because of the prosthesis and don't
understand when she doesn't react.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Dudley is on Timolol and Dorzolomide in his good
eye to help keep it healthy. The vet ophthalmologist says that should keep
us good for about 31 months and then he will probably get glaucoma in that eye,
too. It is a virtual certainty.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>So, since I wouldn't let my husband tattoo an eye
patch on him, Dudley simply adjusts by ignoring everything on the left side of
his body and gets along quite well, thank you very much.</FONT></DIV>
