Update: he is very tired but in very good spirits, nothing has gotten worse I’m very optimistic for his appointment tomorrow morning. He seems happy, playful, not in pain, and his eye doesn’t seem to be losing fluid.
My dog, Phillip has a greater than 50% of losing his left eye. He may even need to be euthanized. Please say a prayer all I can do is hope now. Last night he was scratched in the eye by a cat and suffered a full corneal laceration.
I didn’t have the $7000 in cash to perform the emergency surgery to save his eye so I must treat it with antibiotics and eye drops until his appointment on Monday where they will tell me if it has a chance to heal or if it will inevitably collapse due to fluid loss and need to be removed.
We lost our cat out of nowhere in December and even though the bakery is doing incredibly well, it’s taken all of my energy and I feel like I have nothing left. All our profit has been reinvested in better equipment and expansion and I really hate myself for that right now.
I’ve accepted he may need to lose his eye but there is also a possibility he will need to be euthanized and I can’t accept that. Please God, let him make it. He’s my best friend and I don’t want a life without him.
