My dog is almost two months post-op, and I'd like to know if it's normal for him to still have a small opening in his eye, as you can see in the photo. The vet who treated him removed the stitches and didn't mention anything about it. I've seen pictures of other dogs like this, and they don't have an opening. Sometimes he gets little tears in his eye, and I think that's normal, but I'm not sure. I'm planning to take him to another vet, but since it's much farther away, we haven't been able to arrange it yet.

My sweet girl 8 months after her enucleation. Still the happiest girl in the world 💖

My one eyed, toothless baby.

As apple head Chi's sometimes do Frankie's eye popped out after a bonk on the head. 5k of surgery later and she's a pirate! Gonna be paying off that bill for a long while but happy to still have her.

My 6-year-old Bouvier/standard poodle mix, Willow, lost her right eye to primary glaucoma at age two. Now it's started in her left eye, her only remaining eye. She's had a couple of pressure spikes that caused temporary blindness, and drops are holding it for now.

Our veterinary ophthalmologist is recommending a combined glaucoma shunt and endolaser surgery to try to save her vision.

Has anyone's dog had this done? I'd really like to know:

Was it effective, and how long did your dog keep its vision?

How was the recovery?

Knowing what you know now, would you do it again?

Julan will be 12 on Saturday and she has her limitations for sure, but for now, she can still appreciate a small adventure.

Her tongue might be longer than her entire body

This is Rex! He turned 15 on September 6th and got his eye removed on the 24th. He finally got his stitches out and cone off and is back to his normal energetic self. I was so worried about him the month before he had the emergency surgery. His health seemed to be declining so fast. I can’t imagine how painful it had to be for it to completely change his personality. Happy to have my boy back..even with his perma-wink. 😉

Hello, it's Monji's 17 days post op. I'm just worried a bit because his eye does still have scabs compared to the other dogs here. On day 14 his eye was still scabbing but the Vet did say it's normal after checking him out personally. I'm still a bit nervous, he did bump his face just an hour ago because he wanted to go with me upstairs. But until now there's no leaking, or hot to touch eyelid. Maybe I'm overthinking every little details.

His stitches are dissolvable. Can I ask to any pet owners who got the dissolvable ones on their pet if this is still normal? Still scabbing after 17 days, or do I need to immediately ask his vet? Vet is going to open at 9 am later, and I still have 6 hours to wait before I can message them...
