Well as soon as we picked up Wally from the dog sitter she told us he has a small eye ulcer, she noticed it yesterday… so I guess I will be off to the vets this afternoon. His nails are pretty long, and he was playing a LOT w/two other dogs so I'm not sure if it was caused by his lashes or just the playing in general. I REALLY hope he doesn't need surgery for this… but I don't know :( Prayers, good vibes, etc… are ALL very appreciated. I really wish that I could JUST catch a break… good grief :fie:

I just posted about this! We had an emergeny vet visit last night. Patsy is 10 months old and has 2 eye uclers. She looked so miserable. They told us she would need entopion surgery to correct.

Sending prayers. I know it's frustrating. Ty was just neutered and he had his cherry eyes tucked and it looks like he may have to go under again :(

We just got home… Wally has a very SMALL ulcer in the center of his left eye. She gave me some eye ointment to take care of it, and she actually said that it hadn't reached the cornea so it wasn't too deep. Unfortunately she discussed w/several specialists concerning his distichiasis, and he will have to have surgery to remove the eyelashes. YES she could just pull them, but they would just grow back :( Since Ray is leaving again for Seattle soon, we are postponing any surgeries until he comes home. The vet agrees w/us on the wait, and this eye ulcer does not seem to be connected to the eyelash issue. She has a great track record w/her babies, and she told me that she routinely uses propofol as anesthesia. As most of you know my luck in the surgery department is pretty bad w/my bulldogs. I also brought home Roxie's ashes today… :*( All in all it's been a pretty shitty day…

We have to go back with Abbott to the specialist for his eyelash issues.The first time they just knocked him out and cut the lashes out.We were able to watch the whole process, which I loved being in there.Now its his lower lashes.The Dr. Told us they can grow back in different places.He has undergone two entropian surgeries as well.Hope all goes well [emoji2]

Ugh… I'm sorry you have to deal w/this again. Our vet warned us that this surgery will have to be done twice unfortunately…
