Sandy had another trip to the UGA Vet School yesterday, and she is continuing to improve. She will go back in three weeks (instead of every week) and medicine has been reduced to only 4, which she has to take less often. And when Marc and I are at home and awake, she no longer has to wear the Cone of Shame. YAY! I am sure Sandy is happiest about her freedom from the Cone.
It was incredibly stressful, but Sandy's eye problem happened at the best possible time. If I wasn't on maternity leave, we wouldn't have been able to keep the rigorous schedule that her medicine has required. And if we had waited for the doggie opthamologist, she wouldn't have been able to see Sandy until THIS WEEK. I am sure she would have lost one if not both eyes. And the bacterial infection could have spread throughout her body and we could have lost our Sandy Nell.
While Sandy's eyes will never be the big, beautiful brown that they were, we are grateful that she feels better, is healthy and can see. We will take a little scarring to keep our first baby around to play with Charlie. Someone is watching out for our girl.
