Wise Old Thumper
I will post a photo tomorrow of how his surgery has made him look now, but for those who are interested, this is how his eye looked prior to surgery.
As you can see, the eye had developed internal problems over the last few weeks - had been changing for a while but only this week had it effected his behavior.
Originally it was just glaucoma with a cataract developing but then over the last wee while, it has had material growing inside it. He was blind anyway, but must have previously been able to see light and dark I would think.
The state of his eye in this picture was what prompted some further opinions on the next step - his meds not keeping his problems at bay anymore.
Still, as he seems brighter already, I think it was the right decision to have the eye removed.
His eye this morning before his trip to the vets.
A close up....
