Preparing for second enucleation surgery :(
Hi pirate crew!
I posted a few months ago about my sweet girl losing her eye due to an ulcer, and while it’s healed amazingly, unfortunately it’s not over yet :(
We had to take another trip to the vet after noticing her pupil wasn’t shrinking, and to cut a long story short, it’s very likely that she has immune-mediated Meningitis.
Over the last week or so, we’ve noticed she was having some increasing discomfort in her other eye, so she was back at our local vet yesterday to start preparing for our next steps. However, she was rushed back there today as it had worsened overnight, and it turns out another ulcer has developed due to her not blinking correctly.
She’s gone completely blind within the week and she’s in a ton of pain, so as of right now, she’s scheduled to have her other eye removed tomorrow after our local vet gets the all-clear from the neurologist (the inflammation from the eye removal can bounce back to the brain from what I remember so it’s a risk)
As worried as we are, we’ve begun teaching her cues for any walls/obstacles and when to step up/down and we know she’s a fighter. It’s an awful scenario but any advice to prepare us and our girl would be deeply appreciated 🤍
