More Doggie Drama

Romie decided she needed to go back to the vet last week, as if her recent cow incident wasn’t enough!  I started to notice something was wrong when Romie started rubbing her eyes a lot, and then I noticed that her eye was all red and had a hazy look to it. 
I called the vet, and (of course) they advised me to bring her in that day.

Seven came along for the ride to be a supportive big sister to Romie.

It turns out that Romie got some sort of a scratch on her eye, and she has a Corneal Ulcer!  Poor baby!

When she’s unsupervised, she’s supposed to wear this cone.  She’s also back on anti-inflammatory meds and eye drops 4 times a day.  Her prognosis is good; there doesn’t seem to be any complications.  Romie should be as good as new in a few days.

  7. Romi, sorry to hear about your recent eye trouble. We have had that happen, but all we had were drops not that silly looking halo they are making you wear. Get well soon. The Hounddogs.
