Wilf and Ruby update re glaucoma

[louisedi]

Glad op went well, it was for the best, she will soon be back to normal.

It's surprising how quick they adapt, and she'll be feeling so much better in herself with the pain gone.
Hugs to you and Ruby (and not forgetting Wilf)

[Annette]

Oh Penny, I am so sorry. I hadn't realised she was having her op today.

I am sure that once she is over it all, and you have got used to the new Ruby, you will be pleased that you went ahead with it when you did. But I am still sorry it had to be.

She is at least going to be free of the pain now. And I guess she may have had some distorted vision for a while. That must have been very confusing for her.

Give her a little squidge from us.

[PennyB]

Poor love is sitting in her crate whimpering now, but I don't thinks she's in that much pain as she will eat stuff if you offer it her

[Helen]

oh goD penny, didn't realise it was happening so soon - huge hugs to you and Ruby 

I don't think she'd be in much pain at the mo - the whimpering etc will be GA wearing off.  I hope she'll be feeling better in the morning. 

I know this is for the best, and she will cope brilliantly as she is feisty and strong, but I also know how dreadful I would feel if this were to happen to Jarv - so sending many hugs and strong thoughts to you both.

She will feel so much better in a few days and will be as beautiful as ever I'm sure

Wot she said

Get well soon Ruby.

Mind you while I was up here on the computer there was a noise as Ruby had escaped from the crate and I found her in the kitchen stood over her dog bowl wagging her tail 


Pix of her are here but haven't actually put them on this thread as some may not want to see them

Hope Ruby makes a speedy recovery from her op, Penny. I'm sure she will be back to normal very quickly - she's a tough little girl We had a Fox Terrier when I was growing up who had his eye removed (due to injury) and you'd never know it from his behaviour afterwards - dogs are amazing for just accepting what is and getting on with things

Aawww  Bless her, that does look sore but I am sure she will be back to herself in no time.    Animals do seem to bounce back from these things far better than we do.    What will you do with the eye socket Penny - will it just be stitched together permanently?

I assume so, then we just wait till her fur grows over it --- Wilf has a rectangular piece missing out of his ear and you would'nt know most of the time. Steve said I can take Ruby to groomers in about 4 weeks

[AnnieG]

Sorry Penny - just caught up with the fact that the op. has happened.  She's still beautiful and will be even lovelier when she's painfree, out of her crate and wreaking her normal brand of havoc.   Really admire you for having got on and done it.  Ruby says there's no hurry to get to the groomers, thank you muchly.  
love to you all

Sending all good wishes for a speedy recovery to Ruby and extra strength to you to cope with all the trauma involved for you.  She is a lovely girl and will be loved all the more for being brave.  Hugs to you all, Heather xxx

[Helen]

just peeked at the pics, she looks fab, and it looks a very neat and tidy job 

how's she doing today 

[Michele]

I agree, very tidy looking and good that she will now be pain free.

I trim a cocker that has a labrador companion that had an eye removed and she gets around just fine. I'm sure Ruby will be just the same.

Hugs all round

She still looks beautiful, She will feel much better free from pain.  It is surprising how quickly they get used to having one eye. I don't think it will affect her and she will still do the same things she did before.
