@Saving Thanks so much for the information! I am researching further and continuing with her rehab exercises as best I can.
Glad you recovered from your spinal injuries.
Poor Wittle Ham

ahhh poor buddy, I hope it's nothing serious, nothing worse than when you little one is uncomfortable
-
Poor baby.
Jazz had a scratch on her eye last summer. She looked awful for a couple of days, but the meds really do clear it up fast.
-
Sorry to hear that Miles is hurting, hugs from us to Miles
-
Poor guy. Is it possible that one of the meds causes him to be thirsty, thus drinking more water, thus needing to pee more?
-
Well, they hadn't given him anything when the accidents happened- he used to pee all the time when he was put in the crate- almost an anxiety thing. He's come a long way since we first got him. We considered the crate to be a tiny set back…until he pee'd in my car on the way home from the vet. But that too could have been from anxiety. He was shaking like a leaf at the vet. Poor guy. He's so big and tough at home!
I hate to see him like this! -
Poor Miles…maybe it is possible he is stressed because his eye bothers him and that made him pee.
I'm sure his recovery will be speedy though...the ointment for eye scratches usually heals them pretty quickly.
-
Poor little guy. I hope he feels better soon we'll be thinking positive thoughts for Miles.s
-
Aw…poor guy. I'm sure he'll feel better soon and feel settled again. Keep us updated on the little fella.
-
Hope Miles feels better soon.
-
Thanks for all the support.
His eye seems to be open wider today. Although after I put the ointment in, he tried to scratch it!! And he screamed. AHH! -
Poor Miles…..do you have him in an E collar to keep him from pawing at his eye?
-
Heal up soon Miles….......:)
-
No e-collar; just trying to watch him. Follow up tomorrow morning. Will be in touch…
-
Poor little thing. Hope he's seeing well again soon.
-
Well, the vet wants to do surgery- they think the abscess on the top lid might be causing the scratch. He seems to be doing fine though. Thoughts?? Right now the surgery is scheduled for Monday the 11th– and it will be done at the same time as the teeth cleaning so the anesthesia is already covered. I'm still a little reluctant.
-
Thats to bad it's not getting any better, I'm sorry to hear that. I can understand the reluctance about the surgery. But because it's by his eye, if it was me I'd go for it, but I'd be nervous the same time because it's the eye.
Paws crossed though that it's quick and painless with a speedy recovery
-
Aw, poor wittle baby. Please keep us updated on what you decide. I'll keep him in my thoughts!
-
So sorry to read that Miles has to go through this…..good thoughts and well wishes coming his way.:)
-
Oh Bdawg it sounds like a tough decision. I'm so sorry to hear he has to have surgery
I know you'll do what's best for him. -
Have you seen a vet opthamalogist? My girl Rio got scratched in the eye this past December. Our primary care vet started her on antibiotics and an eye oitment but told us if after a week she did not improve they would refer out to a vet opthamalogist. Apparently, it is not uncommon for scratches to the eye to be long improve and sometimes requires that the vet opthamalogist moves a blood vessel to the site so it can heal. We were lucky and Rio's scratch was towards the edge of eye so it vascularized on its own and healed without intervention.
For eyes I would definately see a vet opthamalogist when surgery is recommended.
