Good news! I had my recheck with my internal medicine doctor, and she is very optimistic that the anti-fungal pills are working! Although I’m still honking like a goose, it isn’t as often. And the nose cannon is also firing less. More importantly the ooze from my nose is more often clear than a mucus […]
Many folks have been asking, so without further ado, it is time for Dad’s Christmas gift reveal! For those who are new to this tradition, Dad has a history of giving Mom practical gifts. In the past he has given Mom toilet seats (he’d want me to emphasize they weren’t just any toilet seats, but […]
Friends, I saw my eye doctor yesterday and the news isn’t good. There is scarring behind my iris causing adhesions, which restricts the movement of my pupil. I am in the early stages of Iris Bombe, which is how I lost my other eye. The ophthalmologist cannot predict when this sudden spike in uncontrolled pressure […]
Thank you for your positive vibes and prayers! I can feel your love surrounding me, and it gave Mom and Dad great comfort through this whole ordeal. My apologies they didn’t respond to your messages, but rest assured they are reading them all, and we are so grateful for your kindness. So what happened? As […]
Three weeks. Three veterinary appointments. And yes, I needed one of Dad’s spreadsheets to keep track of everything they told me. So get comfy as I update you on my eye, nose, and even a new primary veterinarian! First up, I had my 4 month followup with my eye doctor. Good news! Despite everything with […]
AWESOME NEWS! I had the followup for my ER visit with my ophthalmologist, and he said, “Asa’s reevaluation today showed excellent resolution of the retinal hemorrhage!” In fact, the hemorrhage that was detected at my last scheduled appointment with him in March is now reduced to a “fine ribbon,” and there is no sign of […]
Monday morning I awoke with blood in the white part of my eye. Having already lost one eye to the genetic disease Golden Retriever Pigmentary Uveitis, I knew right away that I had to get to the Animal Hospital ER. Thankfully, I wasn’t in pain like the day I lost my left eye, and I […]
Yawn. Oh, please excuse me for being so rude by yawning. I’m very sleepy from yesterday’s adventure. It all started a couple nights ago. I was getting ready for bed, and Dad gave me treats. I thought it was odd, because Dad never gives me treats before bed. But hey, who am I to turn […]
I interrupt your scrolling to give you the good news – my ultrasound came back as all clear! No abnormalities found on my spleen or liver! Everything looks normal! The “angry lump” the vet techs discovered when they shaved my belly for the scan also came back as benign. It is another sebaceous cyst like […]
Eye, oops, I have good news and concerning news about my latest eye exam. The good news is in terms of the Golden Retriever Pigmentary Uveitis, my eye is status quo! No signs of the disease progressing. In fact, the ophthalmologist was so pleased that he reduced my eyedrops from 4 times a day to […]
