Just got back from another eye checkup for Winston…
His bottom lids keep rolling inward, and are causing irritation which then leads to another eye ulcer. His doctor wants to do the surgery on Wed the 18th, because she will be unable to do it until after the holidays in Jan. My hubby doesn't get home till the 20th, but he told me to go ahead and schedule it.
I was asking a MILLION questions, and finally she asked me if I was worried about the surgery… I told her that NO I was worried about the anesthesia. She told me that they do bullies all the time, but she said that if for ANY reason she was concerned about his breathing while he was under she would STOP the surgery all together. She listened to his heart and told me that she didn't find any heart murmurs, then I told her about my concerns regarding megaesopahgus. She told me that she seriously doubt he has that because he seems to be very healthy looking bulldog. She told me to have a chest x-ray done at the vets to calm any fears I have about his esophagus. I explained to her what has happened to us this year
I really couldn't handle any more drama...
I can't let him suffer serious eye damage because I'm nervous about him having surgery… that would be very selfish of me. Dear GOD I can't wait for this year to be OVER!!!
