hello everyone
i took daisy to the vet this morning, to have her eyes checked. the vet said (he is such a good vet i am glad daisy sees him) that her eyes still need the optimmune and she has been on vistamethasone eye drops for a month now, and he said that we will keep her on these for the next 3 - 6 months to try and get her eyes as best that we can, he said we have a good chance of repairing them. he said that it will be like she has sunglasses on all the time, but she can see ok. he said that her eyes are a normal moisture level now so that is good, just seems to be something that is covering her eyes.
then i said to him that she has been licking her back feet a lot and he said that he will have a look at the anal glands as licking the feet can be a sign of the anal gland needing to be emptied...... and it did! it was really bad, loads of it came out :grnyuk:
then i said to him about her ears as she has started to scratch them a lot recently, he had a look and said they were quite bad, and he said that her ears were really hairy inside and that you need to pull out some of the hair in the ear (she didnt mind this at all) to help air get into the ear, once he had done that i could smell her ears, which wasnt nice. he put in some cream called otomax, which i have to put in her ears for the next 2 weeks, twice a day.
we have to go back and see him in 2 weeks time to check her bum and ears!
poor little daisy - she certainly has a hard time. i asked the vet if he felt we were being cruel by keeping her and he said that he wouldn't have her put down or anything, but he said it was a shame for daisy and he felt sorry for us having the problems and cost of it all.
just wanted to keep you all posted about how she is getting along...
