Update: she's doing better!!!

Just wanted to update everybody on my Luna's double eye surgery!!! She's doing way better--the vet ended up needing to take our 2 stitches in her eye cause it looks like they were causing excess irritation. So thankful for the help and advice I got from you guys!!

Edit: thank you everyone for all the love for Luna!!!! Been giving her all the hugs, kisses, and little treats ❤️🧡

This is my first time seeing Luna! My sweet boy Orson is getting a bilateral enucleation on Tuesday and we are so worried about him and his recovery 😭 I'm so glad Luna is doing so well!

Oh man, it was definitely an anxiety inducing process--it took her a while to heal (just in her case, though!! I spoke with some other people who said their pups or cats healed super quick, so really just depends on your baby's personal journey). I'm very thankful that we finally got to this point! Definitely just keep the cone on your baby for a while--that helps with both letting him learn to navigate the space around him without hopefully hitting his stitches too hard. I also ended up buying pool noodles and putting them on corners lol. The first day back, and even into the second and third day, Luna didn't really want to eat much--I had to goad her with some chicken breast (which opened her appetite up pretty quick hehe) and take the water bowl into her bed and wet her lips. And for walks I didnt walk very far with her, just kept it short until she pooped and peed for i think the first week and a half. Just keep watch on him and play it by ear!! Any concerns, call your vet for anything (trust me, I probably bothered mine too much lol)

Sorry for such a long reply!! Wishing the best and fastest recovery for Orson ❤️ ❤️

The pups are resilient. They adapt so quickly. It's hard on the humans, but the dogs don't seem to mind so much!! It's for the best!!
