Walter's re-check…

[ddnene]

Took Wally in for his re-check on his eye ulcer… it's still there so she wants to do the meds for ANOTHER week!!! Well honestly he'll be getting eye meds daily till he has his surgery, but OMG it takes two people to hold him down to give him his eye meds. If anyone has suggestions on this, I'm all ears…

He's also started shaking whenever I take him to the vets now… it's so crazy, he used to LOVE going to the vets!!!

Poor little guy, I don't know how to do the eye drops. Buster will lay down at Maggie's feet and let her do anything if she tells him too but with me he just acts like a Tasmanian devil. I hope he gets used to going to the vet, he's scared of being poked and prodded.

I wish I had advice. When Blue had his cherry eye surgery, it also took two of us to give him the eye meds.

The vet thing I'm not so sure about. Hopefully the memory will fade and he'll get it over it. If not, just bribe him with really good treats, like the special kind he'd never normally get.

Poor baby... Harlea shakes anytime we get her collar and harness out but stop when we get in the car. As for what you can do... Maybe have Lily close by with one of his favorite treats or toys when it is time to do the drops?

poor baby boy, how his eye gets better soon.

 

[harveyspecter]

oh no. Walter is developing the vetphobes.

My advice, constant supply of treats while at the vet.

Oh Wally, I just wanna hug you. Tyson used to LOVE the vet too, and he still does in the waiting room etc, but once they call us back, he starts the backwards pedaling. LOL - only if they try to take him alone, he must have flash backs of the barium, xrays, ultrasounds, surgery. My poor baby boy, but if we go with him, he tends to be "ok" - he keeps looking back to make sure we are still following. Hah. Prayers for Wally to start feeling better, and maybe be a little more cooperative with his eye drops. Stubborn even though its all done in love to help them feel better!

I guess I'll have to load up on the special treats… Lol

It takes two of us to mess with Abbotts eyes or face since all his eye woes.We try everything possible.We lay him down and rub his belly etc.No bueno

 

[2BullyMama]

UGH... so sorry he is getting better! I can't help either, Banks was so strong it took two of us with a handful of treats to keep her steady to do anything and Cheli... well, he takes off whenever i open the 'doggie' cabinet so it is always a sneak attack for him

I should video tape him… he squeezes his eye shut SO tight when he see's the bottle and tube. It takes two hands to peel his eyelids apart…

We get the stinkeye and a lip curl.lol

Aw, shame poor Walter<3 Joey is the same, I cannot do eye drops on her, it's impossible. I can though get cream in, I put it on the top of my finger and then I surprise her by just smother it in the corner of her eye If she sees the tube or bottle it's game over for me, lol.

Maybe take him on road trips to the vet sometimes when he doesn't have an issue?

You know he's FINE going in the car, in fact he seems to LOVE car rides. As soon as he realizes it's the vets, then the drama starts… last time I literally had to drag him into the office!!!

It's the same with Boeboe, but she's the one that most often are the cause of the trip... Bennie is super happy at the vet cos he just tags along most of the times
