Today is Poppy's procedure on his eye ducts, or finding out if he doesn't have them.

He got hold of a steel wool pad last night and shredded it, so I had them x-ray his tummy first, just to make sure he didn't eat any of it. X-ray was clear, but he was constipated, so they gave him an enema before his procedure.

I'm now sitting here waiting for them to call ... tap, tap, tap ... hoping it was just that his tear ducts were clogged, and not non-existent.

House is awfully quite without the Professor around. :mellow:

HUGz! Jules

Keeping Poppy in my prayers.rayer: I'm hoping his tearducts are blocked, easy to fix. Riley has had it done twice in 3 years.

aaww I'm sure Poppy will be fine...I know what you mean about being
quite. All mine went to the groomers last week, when I walked into
a silent house it was very strange :w00t::HistericalSmiley:.

Jules - praying for Poppy that things will go well. :grouphug: Let us know and give him tons of kisses when he's home. I'm thinking of checking Tyler's ducts too since his staining is pretty bad sometimes.

 

[Miss_Annie]

I'll be keeping him in my thoughts *hugs*

 

[Matilda's mommy]

just prayed for Poppy

 

[nekkidfish]

Thanks everybody!! I just wish they'd call ... I'll wait another 20 minutes or so, and then I'll call.

I'll post when I know something.

Big HUGz! Jules

 

[MalteseJane]

Ya, waiting for that call drives you nuts.

 

[CeeCee's Mom]

I am just now seeing this......hope he will be okay. Please let us know~~

Poppy is home, still groggy, but he's home. It appears that his tear ducts were clogged, but we won't know for sure until he is retested in 10 days. He will be on steroid eye drops until then. His tear ducts are small and more superficial than Dr. Berg is used to seeing, which is why he's not sure the flush will work, so we'll see in 10 days.

His tear ducts seem small, and high. Dr. Berg said this could be why when the tears come up, they just sort of spill over and not go through the ducts.

If in 10 days, after the dye test, it appears that there still is no drainage, we will discuss any options that might be available.

Thanks for the prayers and good thoughts! :wub:

HUGz! Jules

Jules - I'm happy that Poppy's home. Hope the flushing worked! In the meantime get some rest along with Poppy - it's been a long, stressful day.

Glad Poppy is home resting...It's always a stressful day when they're
at the vets all day.

Happy to hear everything went fine with his procedure...I sure hope you see improvement now that his tear ducts are flushed.
