Wow--I was going through my old saved documents and I found this blog I had started about Oscar. I can't believe it will almost be a year since I have written anything in it!!! So much has happened with the little rascal. He just turned 3 on September 25th~I of course turned 27 on September 9th...luckily we are both Virgos. Right now he is sleeping soundly at my feet and I am trying to decide which story I should tell as my welcome back blog entry. I think I will share about his eye surgery :( About 5 months ago his eye really started bothering him. He was always scratching at it and it was watery and red. I took him to the vet twice and they kept telling me he had conjunctivitis....but the medicine wasn’t working and it was getting worse! So finally I took him to an eye care specialist. Low and behold they called me within ten minutes of dropping him off to let me know he had Ectopic Celia. Basically, his eyelashes were growing into his eyeball. So they had to do surgery right away and there was no hesitation for me---if he was in pain, which I knew he was, and it could cause him to go blind....I knew it needed to be done. Since his first initial surgery he has had to go have two more within the past 4 months. His eyelash hair keeps growing back although they scrape the eyelid and laser off the hair follicles--there is still a possibility it can grow back a couple of times. Luckily the majority of the cost is good for a year...so let's just hope he is good after that. Above is a picture of the saddest dog in the world.
