Two Sundays ago we were getting ready to take our pups to a dog park for the first time. Plans quickly changed when Kent noticed that Daisy's left eye was really cloudy. She had been holding her eye shut and pawing at it for a few days prior, but we thought it was just allergies since she is prone to them, and we had been giving her Children's Benadryl per the vet's instructions.
So we rushed to the Emergency Pet Clinic where we waited. And waited. AND WAITED. We were there over three hours. Here we are waiting (sister Leyla was there for moral support):
They stained her eye with iodine and determined it to be an ulcer. We have been giving her a combination of drops, ointment, antibiotics and pain meds ever since, some several times a day. We are hopeful that this treatment will do the trick and that she won't have to have surgery.
She also has to wear this cone collar 24/7 and really hates it. She thinks it's the worst outfit we've bought her yet! We think that she resembles a martini glass, and since she is a chihuahua, she's our little Mexican Martini!
Overall she is being a really good patient, and we are keeping her calm and out of direct light, since her eye is sensitive.
Poor girl, we feel so bad for her!
