Brindy came through her surgery with no problems yesterday. Here’s a description of the procedure:
Pets have an extra eyelid that lies inside the other two lids and is attached to the inside corner of the eye – known as the third eyelid. A third eyelid flap is performed by pulling this structure over the eyeball, and then holding it in place with a suture through the third eyelid and out through the skin lateral to the eye.
At the end of three weeks, the stitches come out and the eye gets reevaluated. I have an appointment with an eye specialist if there is still a problem.
She is still on antibiotic pills and drops, pain meds, and some other pills and ointments. Fortunately, they are all on a 12-hour schedule, so I don’t have nearly as much to keep track of.
Meantime, she is definitely not a happy camper!
