Wendy our Chihuahua had surgery last Wednesday for her cherry eye.
And because of the amount of infection she has had. The vet was
pretty positive there was a corneal ulcer in the eye. Behind the
very big Cherry Eye. Turned out she was right.

The vet scrapped the cherry eye off, and the corneal ulcer turned
out to be as big as the cherry eye. The vet told me, that it surprised
her. She hadn't expected that. But she was glad she had chosen
to go ahead and do the procedure she did.

See Wendy is still in the clinic, they kept her because they chose
to do the procedure, plus a procedure that took the third eye dogs
have. And sew it up over her eyelid. And let it try to heal I believe.
She kind of lost me with that part.

But she had taken it down yesterday to look at it. And had said, there
was a chance that it would exploid still and Wendy would lose the
eye. And some other parts of the eye. I can't remember what.

But the good news is my husband got no call yesterday. And I
got one this morning to let me know. The vet had looked at the
area, by bringing down the third eye. And the infection was clearing
up. And it was all healing well. And they were keeping her over
the weekend. To put her medication in. And would call on
Monday to let us know how she is doing. And probably if they
would keep her another night.


Whew, I was sure hoping this would be the outcome. It was such
a risky procedure. And I knew the cherry eye, was a very big one.
It was big enough to cover her whole eye.

The vet is pretty sure she wont even need the wet eye drops that
they usually need when they take off cherry eyes. Which is technically
to me a miracle.

Thanks for listening. Now just to find the money to pay for it.
