We have had Lily since she was a puppy, and she is now 14 years old. She has had allergies for years and takes medication for that. Then two years ago, Lily got glaucoma in her eye. Eventually she lost vision in that eye, and it had to be removed as her eye drops were no longer keeping the pressure down. Without the removal she would have lived in pain.
It was only a matter of time before she got glaucoma in her other eye and lost her vision. She was now totally blind so had to rely on her nose and ears to navigate around. Just as before, the eye drops stopped keeping the pressure down, so yesterday, she had to get her other eye removed. She is doing well and healing.
It has never even crossed our minds about letting her go or giving her up. Lily, just like our other dogs, is a member of our family... they are our fur kids! We will continue to take care of her and protect her as we always have. We will continue to support rescues and speak for those that have no voice.
