Eye have good news and bad news...

First, let's start with the good....AUBURN won the national championship!!! Whoo hoo! It was a great game! Mom and Dad did a lot of jumping and yelling and it was AUsome!!

My Pre-game warm up with my lucky Auburn collar and Auburn wubba!


Halfway through, the suspense was killing me. Thank goodness for my calming neck pillow! Spoiled?? NAHHH!


We won! Go Tigers! I crashed. It was so much suspense that when it was over, my little puppy brain went to bed!

Okay, now to the bad news. I went this morning for my follow up with Dr. Vet. Seems the infection in my eye went away, but she's affraid I may have early stages of Pannus. Boo!

I'm going back in a month to see the Opthamologist to see what she thinks. Dr. Vet does thing that if it is Pannus, we caught it early before any damage happens and that I'll need eye drops for the rest of my life, but with eye drops I get cheese. So I'm okay with that.

She also suggested that mom and dad protect my eyes from UV/Sun rays with some sunglasses...looks like I'm getting Doggles! As long as they come in pink I'm good.

Dad did laugh, saying now that when we go hiking I'll be carrying a backpack and wearing shades! Total diva!!

I'll keep you posted, but for now mom has some new eye drops to give me four times a day. She needs to stock up on cheese!

  3. I've never heard of Pannus, but it sounds like you guys have it under control. Hopefully you don't have it and it's nothing, but if you DO have it, at least you caught it early.

    Cheese sounds good, too!

  6. Congrats on your team winning!

    We never heard of Pannus so we went to read about it. It sounds a lot like what our Dad has in one of his eyes, he may need a corneal transplant one day. It is good that you will see a doggy opthamologist for an exact diagnosis. We hope that whatever it is you can be treated for it and not be in any pain or discomfort. Good luck, Anna.

  8. I agree with Shawnee - can't wait to see the pink shades. I've been trying to justify getting Doggles for the girls for years, AND NOW I FINALLY HAVE ONE!!
    Curious to hear what the opthamologist says...

  10. I'm sorry that Dr Vet had said something slightly less than positive but I'm glad things are under control and you have some new eye drops.
    With or without any doggles on, you are already a true diva!!!
