Amy had her right eye cataract removed yesterday to say we were a little worried was an understatement
Amy is 12 & in a matter of 12 months lost nearly all her sight in her right eye due to a cataract her left eye also developed a cataract but is progressing slowly, Amy went from being a very confident happy spaniel that loved agility to being very stressed & unsure about things within a very short time.
After many visits to the Eye Vet & monitoring & medication to slow the progress down we decided to go ahead & have her right eye cataract removed big decision with risks but we felt we needed to try & save her some sight.
Well 24 hours on Amy is amazing taking the rigors of all the drops to help keep infection down & pressures apart from the bucket on her head she is doing very well but the amazing thing is how already she has realised she can see a lot better her confidence has improved you can tell how she is now trotting around.
I can see we are going to have issues in keeping her calm as it looks like it has taken years off her
Its a long haul for recovery to ensure a good success rate but looking at her little expression today I know we have done the right thing.
