Thanks! Just took my little Pistol, the blind 16 year old, to the vet because it looked like she had run into something and one eye was all red. Turns out she has a 'melting ulcer' on it and there really isn't any treatment for it, along with glaucoma. The other eye has a little spot on it. They only real thing they can do is remove the eye (the ulcer could eventually cause the eye to erupt) and put a shot in the other one to kill the cells, but it might shrivel the eye too. The other choice, as the vet put it, is to relieve her of her pain and suffering. The surgery will be about $450 and I worry about the anesthetic at her age. I hope the ointment she gave me reduces it and makes it do better. The thought of putting her down just breaks my heart. She has been through a lot with me in the last 16 years, but she has also had a good long life. Besides her eyes, she is fine. I'm just praying for the right thing.
Thanks, I needed to see this in writing. I know I will get an answer on what I need to do.
