Black Dog Tuesday

We are worried about our Black Dog. We've noticed that his vision has suddenly become worse - substantially worse. In addition, his eyes don't look normal. Our regular vet checked out his eyes yesterday and was very concerned about the possibility of glaucoma. He immediately started meds to take down the swelling in his eyes. We should learn more at an ophthalmologist appointment on Wednesday... In the meantime, I'll probably not be able to stop worrying.

All of my worry caused a migraine so I'll stop there.

    Oh no :( No I will worrying, too. My little one goes to an eye specialist for severe
    dry eye - I'm driving the 70 miles to an appointment with her today, oddly enough. Try to relax a little, and I'll be hoping for a less serious diagnosis...

      Oh no... I had a dog years ago who lost the ability to make tears. It's a big deal. I am pulling for your little one. Sorry that your drive is so long...

      So far, her dry eye is not that severe - the specialist is excellent, and we are controlling it well with lots of drops :) Thinking of you and R today and sending every good vibe I possess your way...

    We hope R will be OK. We had a dog with glaucoma years ago but it was caused by a surgery that hit the optic nerve. Lots of good thoughts that the meds will bring the pressure down. We know the discomfort glaucoma can cause.

    Sending optimistic thoughts to you! Knowledge is power - once you know what's going on you can make the informed decisions you two are so very good at. Glad you have an ophthalmologist at hand.

    surely they can treat it with drops each day... just like in humans?
    a friend of mine does that and has it for years and he sees just fine. I so hope that can be the case for your beloved R!
    and take care of YOU. I seldom comment but always read. and enjoy your blog so very much! bless you!
