Moe came into rescue from a shelter. He was neutered there and had a bladder stone removed.
But, he had reactions. I think shelters provide a very valuable service. But, we prefer to do all surgeries ourselves. Moe is an example-- his neuter/surgery site was so bad, and became so infected that he spent 4 days in the vet getting round the clock care.
He had an ulcer in his eye and we treated that.
But, his eye got worse and he was rushed to my vet-- thank goodness they are 24/7 and he was treated right away.
We took him to the specialist yesterday. Toni, his foster mom, is wonderful. She and I have so much in common and we share a lot.
Unfortunately, we are not going to be able to save his eye. He has a melting ulcer and he will have 24 hours of antibiotics (shot and eye drops) to reduce the infection and his eye will be removed today.

Even with the pain he is in, he was still kiss Toni with love. He is such an amazing little man.
Stay tuned for updates on him. He has a prospective home that will love him so much. He will need eye drops on his remaining eye, but so many Pekes need this, and it's not an issue. Once he recovers, he will meet his new family. They couldn't be getting a sweeter boy.
Oh Gizmo ..... you are a beautiful red boy and I am praying your Op goes well and not too much pain.
ReplyDeleteBig fat kisses.
Prayers for you sweet Gizmo, you are a super sweet little guy. Love you.
ReplyDeleteThis is the sweetest little peke with an awesome personality! We found out he LOVES balls. He has played with two so much he managed to puncture them and make them flat so that he could prance around the house with them in his mouth. And, he is a talker, a growly talker! And, oh does he love to be with his person! Follows me every step I take and when I stop he lies down close by! He is totally housebroken. I don't know why he was not picked up by his owners unless it had to do with the medical he needed.
