Diamond has been through a lot. And yesterday, she had surgery to remove her eyes. One eye was either damaged and shrank or it never formed. But, it was a pocket for infection. Her right eye was so dry. Even giving her drops every 30 minutes didn't make a difference. She had her eyes removed yesterday. She's whimpering some, but doing okay. She will do so much better without the constant discomfort of her eyes.
I know dogs do fine when they lose their eyes. This is Potomac Valley Louie.
He came into rescue in the winter of 2011. He was 8 months old and had been hit by a car. His eyes couldn't be saved and we were asked to help him.
He adjusted wonderfully and is a happy boy. His mom loves him so much and I've done blogs on his adventures. He had no trouble living a full life.
I know Diamond will do great. She was already blind, so now she will heal. We are still working on her skin issues, but she is a happy little girl. She loves the magic touch of her foster mom, Jenn, who loves spending time reassuring these special ones. Get well soon, Diamond. 💗
Oh get well really soon Diamond..... I guess we could call you a "Diamond in the Rough" at the moment ! lol
ReplyDeleteIt will be so good when she is not in pain from those eyes and the operation.
Wishing healing vibes for you Ms Diamond !
