shoemonster Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 (edited) I'm sitting here stressing Molly has had 2 operations fro extra eyelashes, last one about 4 weeks ago Now this mornign she's woken up and can't open one eye properley and its all red and horrible I've rung the emergency number for the eye specialist ad they're gonna see her at 11, so I'll stay home til then, cos she is rubbing at it and annoying it more Poor Molly, this is awful Edited February 2, 2007 by shoemonster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowanbree Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 My experience with this has shown that the operations are seldom sucessful long term and you are far better off just plucking them out. Takes 2 seconds and is easily done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoemonster Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 I've heard mixed things from people who don't operate and pluck and people who have had the op once and never had a problem again I thought I was doing the right thing by her God this sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowanbree Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Obviously there are pros and cons to each option but in my reasonably extensive experience they tend to come back every time the dog recoats. My main issue with the operation is firstly there is a considerable time lag between when you first notice the eyelash and when it is operated on, the dogs is in pain the entire time, if you are plucking it out it takes 2 seconds. Secondly I can't justify putting the dog under anaesthetic for something like this. By plucking it out it will definately come back but once again quickly dealt with. I am not saying you have done the wrong thing by operating, I have heard of it working permanetly for some people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoemonster Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 Yeah I know you're not I just hate this, and it makes me question myself and the docs, and everything Will see what they say this time and whether this is to dfo with lashes I am guessing it is as I can see one there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoemonster Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 Well, I'm at work at Molly is still there She is having another op The lash that I could see was massive, and has given her an ulcer on her eye, it seems to be the lash that they plucked out at the last checkup, which was a loose one at the time I am in tears, but I think I am doing the right thing in this circumstance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoemonster Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) Thanks Simone I know this is not life threatening and she'll be ok but its still awful for her, she's such a happy girl, she bounces back everytime and wags her tail off at everyone, even when they are hurting her She's got the best little personality and loves everyone no matter what Sorry now I'm being soppy lol I think these things scare you cos if this is hard, how do we deal with the really bad stuff? I guess we just have to appreciate every second we get with them, and never take them for granted Edited January 11, 2007 by shoemonster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
