As Sav says she recovered well from her op. I was, however, asked to take her home at 9pm on Friday night because she was howling the place down and wouldn't settle which the specialist (Rob Lowe
) felt wasn't going to help her.
She slept all Friday night and awoke on Saturday a new dog. She can't have anti-inflammatories because of her bout of stomach upset so she just has antibiotics and drops also she'll have to have optimmune for the rest of her life.
I now have a dog that is completely relaxed on walks again and is so much happier it's unbelievable. I admit to shedding a couple of tears after our first walk on Saturday as I now have my old Meg back again. This operation has taken years off her. People in the village that know her noticed straight away the difference in the way she was walking along instead of shuffling with her head down.
Hopefully she'll continue to recover well. We have a check up on Thursday, after that the suchers (sp?) will dissolve that are holding the new lenses in place. She doesn't have to wear a buster collar, thank goodness, but I do have to watch the amount she scratches her ears etc. So far though she only tries to scratch her eyes when she's due for her drops.
