Sister had her left eye removed

Eye removal for dogs is called Enucleation.

Somehow in early August, Sis injured her left eye. It seemed to be healing well, then quickly took a turn for the worse. It became a deep red, blurry and swelled up. There was no saving this eye.

She went in for surgery on Aug. 21 to have that eye removed. She absolutely despised the "party hat" cone she had to wear for two weeks. Refused to go potty with it on.

This morning, we had the sutures removed and all is going well. It still looks pretty nasty but not as bad as that huge bulging red eye.


Sis is feeling a lot better already. Beginning to play again and is just itching to go herd her chickens.
