yes..I'm the one that stress about this.. greys lives in the moment..

sadly our greys are getting older... and their bodies change ... just like us .. At the annual vet appointment last week the vet found that Otis's eyes did not react normally .. the pupil's reflex was almost absent in both eyes when he pointed the light in his eyes .. we had noticed a change during winter .. we thought it could be the beginning of cataracts ... The vet took the pressure of the eye and it was normal so no glaucoma. The retina is normal too. He prescribed cortisone drops for a week. We returned last evening for a follow-up. The drops helped, the pupils have a little more reflex

Good night everybody luv Otis

He walks like drunk a little.. but ok. He ate and drank, we went for a little pee in the yard.. now he is resting on his bed.. I have to stay near beacause if I go in an other room he follows. He has anti-inflamatory meds and a creme for his eye.. follow-up in 8 days.

UPDATES The surgery went ok, Otis is waking up slowly, the vet did not put any sutures so no cone of shame! I can go get Otis after 5:30pm.. Thank you for all your good words and prayers I'll give more news tonight

I bet he will.. already this morning he was so upset to not get his breakfast! OMG! the drama! lol just crossing my fingers that the vet wont need to put stitches because it would mean to ware the cone of shame! Otis never got one.. it would be quite a drama for him!

Spare a little thought and good vibes for Otis who is going for surgery this morning to remove a cyst on his eyelid... I'm so stress out, first anesthesia on a greyhound we experiencing..

so sorry

my angel Tuffy

same thing here.. plus I just wanted to say that I don't think that wallmart will ship to canada either since you are making it on a .com and no a .ca web site..

:grouphug :grouphug Run free sweet Spriet.. go play with all your GT hound friends that are welcoming you to the rainbow bridge..please say hi to my Tuffy..

Surgery date scheduled: december 21th 2015.

I may have misslead with my answer (English is not my native tongue).. Otis will have the surgery under anesthesia.

not sure if Rocket has the same thing as my Otis... but here's the tread I started a few weeks back.. http://forum.greytalk.com/index.php/topic/315365-lump-on-eyelid/ He will have the operation, the vet will remove the cyst by laser.. so yes sedation is a must in his case..
