Sad Story About My New Puppy

Pandora- I would definitely ask about being able to give her oral prednisone. I would stray away from the drops as we (I say "we" as in at every vet clinic I've ever worked as a tech at) are very hesitant about putting any kind of drops in the eye of a bad injury (except for antibiotic drops), depending on the severity of the injury it can sometimes be done.
I understand how hard it is for you to hear her yelp... just remember you're doing what's best for her in the long run. I can relate, sorta... not exactly the same thing, but in a research lab I used to work in, doing cool stuff with DNA (making robots out of it- it was sorta neat), we had a super high power (read: dangerous) UV box. I was always SUPER careful in the lab. But one day, I somehow forgot to put the shield down on my face mask. I was wearing it, but the shield wasn't down. I was staring straight into the UV light for over 10 minutes before I realized it. Lost my vision completely for two weeks, I was greatful it came back. Seriously one of the most painful things I've experienced. And I had to put these antibiotic drops in my eyes, and was on percocet, and I think something else... ant it HURT, but I had severe burns on my cornea, and I new it had to be done if I wanted to see again.
I've seen dogs with horrible rips in the cornea that miraculously recovered beyond odds, so it is possible. It is just one eye too, correct? So worst case scenario, she may lose sight in the eye, yes, but she is lucky to have such a caring mommy, and I promise you she won't take long to adapt- especially if she's still a pup. I myself have cared for dogs that were either partially or completely blind in one or both eyes, and it's amazing how well and how quickly they adapt to it.

Sorry to hear about your puppy Pandora. I hope her eye does heal and her vision returns.

I just wanted to share this story. I am relaxing tonight and have my precious little pup sitting on my chest and I was petting her. I swear she was looking at me and she brought her little paw up and she was stroking my face. It was like she was saying..I love you!!!!
It was a great decision to get her! The companionship, especially at night, I love it and I just love her to bits. Her cute little face, I melt every time I look at her. She appears to be pain free and I am hopeful that she has at least partial vision in her eye back.

Hi Pandora
I am glad to hear your puppy is feeling better. Animals are so intelligent if only we realised more of what they understand.
You may never know if her sight is back to what it was because they adapt so well to compensate for what they loose.
Just enjoy the love she gives you and i hope your cat has excepted her now too.
Best wishes

Yes she is great, especially with my insomnia as I sit here at 3:00 am..wide awake! I love having her sit with me. Tonight I put on a video of another dog on the laptop and she was watching it and turning her head and tried to crawl up to the screen. I should videotape that..it was way too cute!

I totaly understand that,
we keep saying we can never repay our cat for what she has done or my husband, she has been by his side through every crisis he has had, and will only leave him when i am around.
But she can be a little shit as he says just to remind him who's boss lol you know claws in the bum through the back of chair uprights.
