Thanks for all the well wishes everyone, they worked! Just called and the vet tech said that he's doing well! A little quiet, most likely groggy too (and in need of a hug! ), but he's ready to be picked up anytime after 3. Now I can breathe!
@reallyrob and anyone else who's experienced with this surgery, how long is the recovery time? And should I get a cone for him? The vet said a lot of the bullies that she's seen only needed a couple of days before they're back to normal.
Bertie was running around like normal the very next day....I had to crate her just so I could be sure she wouldn't play too rough. We didn't use a cone on her at all...she was real good about not pawing at her eyes. After one week, she was good as new. I think we had 5 days of pain pills and had to put ointment in her eye 3 times a day for 7 days.
