Posts: 6 12/30/2008 12:58 PM	Tags : neutering, surgery, entropic, eye surgery I know I have not posted on here very often but I needed to talk to people who understand how hard it is to watch your puppy hurting. Luger had surgery on both eyes yesterday because they were entropic and was also neutered. He is home with me but I am having a hard time watching him deal with the discomfort. Thank goodness our vet was comfortable giving us sedatives along with the pain medicine because he was WILD last night and I just knew he was going to hurt himself.. I am having to keep him crated way more than I prefer but he is just so unsafe to himself even with me watching like a hawk. Sorry, just needed to whine because I hate seeing him go through this and I just need to remind myself that he is going to feel so much better soon. Only 13 more days of a dane in an E-Collar. He already has a new nickname, Destructo Dog. Anyone have some good tips on how to deal??? Thanks for letting me get this out. Forgot to update his size: 5 and a half months, 29 inches, 70 pounds. UPDATE: Well, just got back from the vet. We are going to give the swelling a few days to go down some more . When we go back my vet and his partner will determine the best course of action. So for the next few days I am just going to be babying Luger while he recovers from this part. Fingers crossed we don't have to much more. Thanks so much for all the kind and supportive words!

Apparently one eye has been over corrected so the stitches have to removed and we will deal with it after it heals. So frustrating. I don't cry normally but my heart is breaking and I just sat in the bathroom and sobbed for 15 minutes. Didn't want to do it in front of Luger because I am trying to be calm and collected around him.

I know how you feel tho, when Harley was neutered my vet told me to keep him as in-active as possible until the stitches came out...my replay was she wasn't sending enough drugs home!! Keep your head up he'll be better and back to his normal self soon. Harley & I will keep you in our thoughts. Leanna "He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.

This was months ago. The crying out in pain and limping has stopped, however, he still is not back to normal. Sad thing is, the specialist can't figure out what is wrong with him. They think there is a chance he has OT, but they have no idea. The meds make him weak in the back end, and he sometimes has problems getting up. I don't let him out with the other dogs, afraid he will hurt himself running around with the rest. I feel so bad, each and every day. We took a break from the vets changing his meds, to give the ones he is on, a chance to do their job. They seem to help, but he still isn't normal. He still has leg contractions where they tighten up and then loosen back up. So, we have to decide if we wat to change meds yet again, or if this is as good as it's going to get. I just wish the vet specialist knew more. ANYWAY................... I really do know how you feel. Hang in there. Keep us posted on how he is doing. Paula/Hudson

Posts: 8 01/01/2009 9:45 AM	Thanks so much for the well wishes. Our family sends them back to all of you and your pups. We are getting by and having dealt with things like like losing a dane to parvo before we feel blessed that this is a treatable condition. Luger is getting well and we are going to take him for a car ride today because he is not allowed to walk more than the time it takes to urinate so he and I are both a bit stir crazy. LOL. We go back to the vet on Monday and will know more then. I hope Hudson feels better very soon and I am so sorry to hear about Puddles. Hope everyone has an incredible, safe, and happy 2009! Luger's Human, Susan

I told the vet that I had thought the sedatives were not really working until we ran out and I saw HOW MUCH they were working. LOL. The over correction on his right eye does not look nearly as severe now that the swelling is down. I think we may be out of the woods for now. (Knock on wood). I just want to get him well enough to be a free puppy again. Thanks for everyone's kind words and wishes. I have really appreciated it. Luger's Human, Susan
