Hi Everyone~Many of my friends have been asking how our new puppy, Lily May is doing. Well, I'm happy to report that our little "Money Pit-bull" is doing very well. Miss Lily had to have eye surgery done on Monday. She developed a condition very common to Boston Terriers (and other bug-eyed breeds) where the nictitians gland prolapses. In other words, the tear gland located on the bottom third eye lid "pops" out and becomes inflamed. It's also known as cherry eye. In a ca$e like this, a $urgical procedure is performed to put the prolap$ed gland back into it'$ original po$ition. (did ya'll catch that...lol) We were referred by our vet Dr John Stevenson, to take her to Dr. Penny Cooley, who is located at The Eye Clinic For Animals in Olympia. She is amazing, as is her office staff. They are super friendly, courteous, clean, and organized. I was so impressed, that I wanted to be one of their patients. Our Lily was able to come home several hours after her surgery and she looks beautiful. No more "cherry eye". Of course she's on antibiotics twice a day, and she still has to wear the "cone of shame" for 3 more weeks. She doesn't seem to mind it though, and I have to say that our TV reception has improved greatly since she arrived back home. One thing is for sure, this little setback hasn't slowed this little dyamo down in the slightest. And once the cone is off, I'm sure she'll be back to chewing on the furniture and tearing up the throw pillows again in no time. So thanks everyone for all the thoughts, and prayers.
Have a Great day!
