And here too, still in No Cal but our prices are sometimes higher then what lvoss gets… and it is well worth the cost... to have a specialist look... while your regular Vet is great... an eye specialist sees and understands possible problem with the eyes...

Awww, that was really sweet Barkless ;)
I canceled his appointment for surgery today. I just don't see that he's troubled at all by his eye anymore. He's having no problems that we can tell. I'm going to consider getting a second opinion, but it'll take some investigation to find a good ophthalmologist. Thanks for everyone's support!! -

IMO, I would find one sooner then later… eyes are nothing to mess around with....That said, Mickii had a skin tag on her upper eye lid that I did have my regular Vet remove, but her eye specialist said it was something that is fairly routine to do (remove the skin tag on the eye lids), but to go unresolved can cause problems with the eye later...

Well, after much debate, and a string of rescheduled (by the vet) appointments, Miles did have his surgery. The tags seemed to be getting bigger and he was holding his eye shut almost constantly (except for when treats were present…lol)
He's 2 days post op now. He's doing better. Still holding his eye shut... but I would too if I had a stitch that close to my eye!!
The sleeping Ham
Miles also had a mole removed from his neck. It was growing too and we didn't like it's location being so close to where his collar sits.
Today we have our first visit after the surgery. Wish us luck! :)

He's doing a LOT better tonight… he's actually got his eye open!! :) Hurray!! The post op visit went well... although he did growl at the vet and show him his hackels...but we have to keep his e-collar on for 2 more weeks!

Glad to hear Miles is doing better! We'll keep paws and fingers crossed that he keeps it up.
