Blue
A moment after I took this shot I noticed Blue squinting her left eye. Pulling her eyelid back her cornea looked just horrible. I thought it had burst. Put her in the car and off to the vet we went. Without an appointment we had to wait 2 1/2 hours to be seen - extremely frustrating. Her cornea had not burst but the lens/cataract in that eye had detached on the upper portion and was tilting back into her eye. You can notice it in this pic quite clearly. This caused a dramatic increase in pressure within the eye. She is on pain, anti-inflammatory meds and glaucoma drops. When we are able to see the eye specialist they will most likely recommend removing her eye. I don't care that she won't have an eye, she is blind after all, but I'm worried about the surgery at her age. Still, throughout it all, she has never been a burden in any way. Loves and trusts everyone, every situation and setting. The most amazing friend.
