anticlimactic
// 2007.07.16So after a hectic weekend of getting Merry prepped for surgery (playing every day - since she wouldn't be able to play for quite a while afterward, and 4 kinds of eye meds 4 times a day), after a tense and a wee bit emotional morning meeting with her Opthamologist and dropping the pug off for surgery, I got a call less than half an hour after leaving the clinic.
Turns out they'd sedated her, and then they discovered that the first piece of equipment they needed for the procedure (retinal scanner? corneal scanner? something like that) wasn't working, and they would need to order in the part to fix the machine. Merry's surgery was therefore postponed, until the machine is fixed and then we can reschedule.
Merry's eye doctor was very apologetic and even took pains to assure me that they would get me another round of pre-op eye meds without charging me once the surgery was rescheduled. I'm hoping we only have to wait a week or two but I'll know more later today when I pick the little bit up from the clinic (since she'd already been sedated, we had to leave her there today).
Still, that was a whole lot of upheaval for an anticlimactic ending! Will keep you all posted about the rescheduled surgery.
My goodness.....so sorry you guys had to go through all that (I know how anxious & worried you were). Poor little Merry! I love today's picture by the way. Best of luck next time around.

Oh my gosh I am so sorry you had that experience! Poor little Merry probably didn't understand what was happening. And that fact that she has to do it again so soon is just so sad. If there is anything I can do for you guys let me know! I wil send Merry my healing wishes for her (newly scheduled) upcoming surgery

Hi, what kind of surgery does she needs? I've just realized my pug has a kind of a stain on the left eye, I mean, I can't see the pupil, just the stain.
I don't know what is is, if she's getting blind, maybe...I'm so worried and stressed about it.
I'm looking for some info that might help me...Tks!
