I had a very quick look well as much a look as I could considering it obviously hurt him a lot and it look nasty so i rang my vet and* asked to take him straight over as an emergency. We got the about 5 minutes later and we went in to see the vet and she confirmed that he had ruptured his eye

and would need surgery to fix it. Which would have to be done at a specialist so she rang the specialist to get me an appointment ASAP and they said bring him straight down so I drove to get his medicne first for his ashma and the set off as fast as I dared to solihul to the vet.We got there and saw the vet and she* examined him thouroughly and said that both his eye were damaged as they both had ulcers on them. She said that he would have to have a repair done to fix the rupture and that it would be done today. And she would check the left eye to make sure it wasn't going to rupture as well.Just got off the phone and he came through the OP Ok but his good eye was worse than first thought it has been cleaned and he has got a sort of contact lense thing on it to make i more comfortable for him and to help the healing.His bad eye was also fixed by taking some of the white out of the good eye and patching the hole. Now it is up two him as to whether his sight can be saved. She think it could be due to herpes or his immune system fighting the eye. But it is a vyer rare problem that the vet has only seen twice in her whole career. Not that that helps me much.Sorry it is a bit jumbled but I am in shock and it is very hard to explain the problem clearly when typing. Please send him healing vibes as he needs them so he can keep his eyes and his sight.thanksSally

Hi buster hasn't improved to day so will be kept in over the weekend as they don't know what has caused his eyes to become damaged yet but are running more test and trying some different and added medication to try and prevent his eyes getting worse. The good news is the gratf on the rupture is still looking good it is just the ulcers things that haven't improved adn they might rupture again if they can't prevent them or make them better. He is well in himslef and eating and looking very chilled out.

Tilly was checked today to make sure that she hasn't got the problem as well and she is fine which is good.

Hope he gets better soon thank you all very much for your healing vibes and hugs I am sure they will work soon and he will be better soon but keep the comign if you can.

I will know more tomorrow and will keep you updated.

Sally and Tilly who says thanks you for her hugs and send a hug to everyone.

Poor Buster, fingers crossed there will be signs of improvement tomorrow Sally.....

I'm sorry he has to stay away for the weekend but he's in the best place and they're taking good care of him. I do hope he continues to improve, Sally; vibes still coming.....

I'll continue with positive thoughts Sally. It would be good if they were able to get to the bottom of what is causing this problem . . . . have you done any internet searches for similar cases to Buster's?

tilly · 13-06-2008, 09:59 PM

I am not sure what he has got neither are the vets as he is such a rare case they haven't seen it before.
