My sweet girl 8 months after her enucleation. Still the happiest girl in the world 💖

As apple head Chi's sometimes do Frankie's eye popped out after a bonk on the head. 5k of surgery later and she's a pirate! Gonna be paying off that bill for a long while but happy to still have her.

My 6-year-old Bouvier/standard poodle mix, Willow, lost her right eye to primary glaucoma at age two. Now it's started in her left eye, her only remaining eye. She's had a couple of pressure spikes that caused temporary blindness, and drops are holding it for now.

Our veterinary ophthalmologist is recommending a combined glaucoma shunt and endolaser surgery to try to save her vision.

Has anyone's dog had this done? I'd really like to know:

Was it effective, and how long did your dog keep its vision?

How was the recovery?

Knowing what you know now, would you do it again?

Julan will be 12 on Saturday and she has her limitations for sure, but for now, she can still appreciate a small adventure.

Her tongue might be longer than her entire body

This is Rex! He turned 15 on September 6th and got his eye removed on the 24th. He finally got his stitches out and cone off and is back to his normal energetic self. I was so worried about him the month before he had the emergency surgery. His health seemed to be declining so fast. I can’t imagine how painful it had to be for it to completely change his personality. Happy to have my boy back..even with his perma-wink. 😉

Hello, it's Monji's 17 days post op. I'm just worried a bit because his eye does still have scabs compared to the other dogs here. On day 14 his eye was still scabbing but the Vet did say it's normal after checking him out personally. I'm still a bit nervous, he did bump his face just an hour ago because he wanted to go with me upstairs. But until now there's no leaking, or hot to touch eyelid. Maybe I'm overthinking every little details.

His stitches are dissolvable. Can I ask to any pet owners who got the dissolvable ones on their pet if this is still normal? Still scabbing after 17 days, or do I need to immediately ask his vet? Vet is going to open at 9 am later, and I still have 6 hours to wait before I can message them...

Hi everyone, this is Cookie. He lost his eye over a month ago :( because his adoptive sister attacked him at lunchtime. It was a really stressful time for all of us; we never imagined something like that would happen, and it's like it all happened in a matter of seconds, but when you look back, it flashes through your mind moment by moment as if it had been much longer. Anyway, I just want to thank everyone for your kind comments. The first day was awful, but little by little he regained his spirits. Today he's back to his old self again, and we're so happy with his recovery. I still have some doubts about whether I'm doing everything right and if we're doing what's best for him.

For now, we've given my dog another chance. They're never alone together, NEVER. They've been together for six years, and I regret all of this so much. They will NEVER eat together again, and we're considering an animal behaviorist. Since she's a stray, we don't know what trauma she's experienced. They were separated for almost two weeks and were still seeking each other out, but now that we've noticed she wants to play rough, we've separated them completely. It wasn't an easy decision. If I didn't have feelings, I would have left her with someone else, or I don't know, I would have taken her to the pound, but honestly, I couldn't. I felt too weak, and I chose to do everything possible to give her a second chance. Now, the important thing is that my boy is okay.

Thank you all for supporting me during such a difficult time. It's definitely true that we suffer more than our dog, but that teaches us to see things differently and keep going, just keep going, there's no time for regrets.

our blind australian cattle dog/pitbull puppy! born the runt, 7 ounces, and without eyes. she’s now a much healthier weight and being given all the love in the world. this is my first disabled dog but my boyfriend has had a blind dog before so we’re at least a little prepared. she’s a very sweet and happy puppy, and we love her very much :)
