Hi all,

We have a new addition to our family, M&M is a 14 week old puggie. We purchased her about 7 weeks ago. About 10 days ago, she had emergency eye surgery to save one of her eyes. She may be blind in the eye and we need to take her to a specialist to look at the eye in question. Have any of you ever had this happen to a puppy and do any of you know an eye dr for this.

M&M started to have some eye goop (sorry but that's what it looked like). I called the vet and took her the next AM. When I arrived at the vet with her, she said her eye was ulcerated, leaking out and her eye could collapse.

She did emergency surgery and the eye has been SAVED! Now we need another Dr who can continue to help M&M's eye.

Thanks if you read all of this and take care.

I'll post pics of her, she is tooo cute!

Hello Jen,

Your pug is named M&M??? So is MINE!!!

I had a similar eye scare for Duncan Donut when he was around 10 weeks old, though not as serious. He had a deep poke which turned into a very bad infection even with treatment. They were scared he'd lose his eye, but thanks to the vets at Penn he has his eye and his vision is excellent.

Where did you take your M&M? I would recommend contacting Penn Vet and seeing one of their dog opthamologists. From my experience with Duncan, they are excellent.

Good luck! I'm happy to hear they were able to save M&M's eye!

Thank you all for your recommendations. Her ulcer is healed! I now have to go and check out one of these dr's. It was very scary to see her eye like that. For those of you whose puppies had this, how long did it take to heal?

thanks again, i knew i came to the right group to ask for help!

It's good to hear that M&M is feeling better. There have been a few times over the years that Jessie has scared me when she was ill. M&M is lucky to have you for her Mom!
