Last Thursday, November 6th, my 17th week old male, Bruce, had the cherry eye surgery. The vet used the pocket technique and used sutures to put it back into place. This morning after breakfast I saw that it has prolapsed out again. And it's bigger than before! Our check up appointment is tomorrow with the vet, and she said we don't need to come in today. Just wait until tomorrow.
Bruce has been wearing a cone 24 hours a day since last week. He's bored and hasn't been playing much. She told us that if he hit his eye in anyway the gland could pop back out, but he has been perfect. I just don't understand how this could have happened.
At this point I feel like an awful mom because I don't know how to help him. I gently massaged on the eye this morning to see if it could go back, but nothing.
I know there is not much I can do today, but I was hoping anyone could have suggestions on what I should go in saying tomorrow. I don't want to be clueless when I see the vet. I know removing the gland is extreme (especially in the dry weather here in NV), but is that something anyone has experience with?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
