    Tilly received an early Christmas present...

    from the Ophthalmic Vet!

    I haven't been on the board much over the past couple of months due to the general business of life.

    I first joined this board approx 18 months ago because of a red spot that I noticed in Tilly's eye. To cut a long story short, both of her eyes were full of cysts that we're erupting and the specialist vets did not know what was causing them, so treatment began and we have had monthly, then 3 and 2 x 6 monthly check ups to see if everything was OK. The great news is that the Vet advised yesterday that there are now no cysts in her eyes (after 6 months without eye drops) and although there is a little pigmentation loss in the eye that had the original red spot, it is not affecting her vision at all.

    Whilst she may need further check ups every 6 to 12 months for the rest of her life, this is great news for us as there was a little fear in the back of my mind that the cysts may have returned as she had not been on any medication.

    I feel so blessed that my gorgeous girl is OK. Wishing everyone the best over the festive season!

    Kim (and Tilly)

    “Because of the dog's joyfulness, our own is increased. It is no small gift. It is not the least reason why we should honor as well as love the dog of our own life, and the dog down the street, and all the dogs not yet born. What would the world be like without music or rivers or the green and tender grass? What would this world be like without dogs?”
