About a week ago Millie's left eye became swollen and painful with green gunk oozing from it. We thought it was the beginning of a cold so doc gave her some antibiotic eye drops. Last Wednesday it had gotten bigger and had become very red. When I would go anywhere near her on that side of her head she would cringe. By Thursday it was really bad so I took her into another of our local vets where she was given 3 types of eyedrops and reffed to KState for further testing.
Today Millie went thru a rigorous exam with the opthamology department. It was not good news. The entire interior of her left eye had shifted and collapsed. The pressure in her left eyue had risen from 40 on Thursday to 60 this morning; the meds were not helping. While the inner workings of her eye had collapsed, the fluid production had continued and with no way to drain, this was causing the pressure to rise in her eye and cause extreme pain.
The only way to free Millie from this pain is to remove her eye. Surgery is risky for smash face babies period; at 15 years old the risks are greatly increased. We had to weigh the options and in Millie's case this is the only solution.
The high end estimate we received is $1200. Today we had to pay $720 to get the procedure done. The remainder is due when we pick her up Tuesday afternoon.
The rescue account is wiped out and most of our personal account as well, but she needed this.
We are asking all of our friends and supporters to consider a donation towards her care. No amount is too small.
