Re: Back from the Vet´s

Thank you. It´s a bit difficult to see exactly what has been done, dark dog, dark eyes. I can just see a tiny bit of "thread" outside the corner of her eye, but there´s been no bloodshot eye at all. I will know more on Tuesday when she is due back at the Vet´s.

Re: Back from the Vet´s

Glad to hear ChoCho is surviving the collar Loretta
Another couple of days and she won't need it.

Re: Back from the Vet´s

Thank you Meg. I´ll be glad when it´s off, and I´m quite certain ChoCho will.

Re: Back from the Vet´s

Look at it this way! The cone has allowed her to come home where she will be loved!
If they had kept her at the vets, she would have still had to wear the cone so, even though her mum is worried that she doesn't like it, she is in the best place.
Don't forget that, if she was able to rub that eye, the problem could get a lot worse.
Just tell her to be a big brave girl for her mum!

Re: Back from the Vet´s

We´re back after going to the Vets. There were 3 stitches to come out, two down inside the lower lid and one in the corner of the eye. I can´t believe what a brave and patient little dog she was, only the corner stitch caused her to wriggle a little. Both Vets were amazed too that she was so good and awarded her "patient of the year" Her award was a small fluffy squeaky bunny, which she is proudly carrying around.

We´ve come home with the "instrument of torture" in case she starts scratching or rubbing the eye, which needs another week to settle down properly.

I´m just glad the last week is over, I don´t want to go through that again.

Re: Back from the Vet´s

Hi Loretta well done ChoCho , hopefully you won't need the collar all the time and can dispense with it very soon .

Re: Back from the Vet´s

Thank you Meg. I´ll keep the collar and use it threaten her with if she doesn´t behave

Re: Back from the Vet´s

Clumsy, if Cho Cho gets any more toys you may have to move to a larger house , to accommodate them!

Re: Back from the Vet´s

haha, you really can´t begin to imagine Twink, we have more toys than a nursery school. I do clear them out quite frequently though, the ones she quickly loses interest in are all passed on to other little dogs we know, so they don´t go to waste. I must save other dog owners a fortune

Re: Back from the Vet´s

Gertie's like that too. I always say she's got more toys that the pet shop's got.
I put them all in a bag and give them a light wash and while they're drying give her some others she hasn't seen for a while.
She gets so excited and plays like mad with them again.
She is the sort of dog who has always got something in her mouth.

Clumsy, glad the stitches are over and done with now.
