what a day buster has ruptured his eye

[tilly]

Went to give buster his breakfast this morning about 10.30am and when I went to give him his inhaler I noticed that his right eye wasn't open and was leaking a lot of clear fluid. 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
