Eye Operation...

[x-n1kk1-x]

We asked the vet if they did any "false eyes'' or anything, he said no. 


Thank you LindyLou for the link, I read through, making me abit more anxious about it.

Nikki, I was told by my vet that false eyes are possible....ordered in from Germany. Not something i would concider for Tinker but if you want to know more I could find out. 

Yes please. Would it bother her or anything?

The date has been set for the operation, 12th August.

One question for vet.
Do you need to take out the eyes and clean them, if so how often and would it be difficult to flick them out??

Good luck for 12th August

When I was chatting to the eye specialist re Ruby he said the best course really is to not do anything and allow the eye socket just to sink - I got the impression there was also additional problems associated with prosthetic eyes. In a dark cocker you often don't notice their eye is sunken + as my vet nurse said she can always grow a fringe

I think we're not going to use a false eye. I think we might go a little fringe! I have thought about once its all healed, maybe getting an eye patch.

To be honest with a black faced dog you'll not really notice anyway as it often looks like their eye is just closed - a lot of people never notice Ruby's eye loss straight away.
