good & bad news.. Thanks again to everyone who has posted support for Storm. Her operation went well and she seemed to recover from that quiet quickly and for a day was back to her normal self. It is looking good that her eye will be okay for the long trip home for Christmas :) However she...

Major set-back.... Well after many check ups and being told "in 3 more days the stiches will come out" more times than I can count, Storm finally got her stiches out last week. Her wound was still weeping and not very good but the vet thought the stitches might be causing problems. Today...

Hey Checkers - I'm going to try and get tickets on Monday too!! I'm a HUGE fan and will be so gutted if I can't get them. I've been doing some research into seats and I think the general admission will be best. Went to big day out at Ericsson stadium last year and I felt it was much better on...

Sorry for the delayed reply Jen. I have done some research with the results from the Lab tests and Storm had Secondary Glaucoma which is caused by some kind of trauma to the eye (presumed in our case to be from birth). Primary Glaucoma can effect the other eye but Secondary is very unlikley...

Thanks Jen - I tried to do a search on the topic but had the spelling wrong so didn't find anything. Storm is only 2 and has had a problem with the eye since birth - which is why she got the glaucoma so young. They are 99% sure she has never had vision in the eye that was removed so she has no...

Cone is off! Well BF took her to the vet for a checkup and he said the cone was probably causing more trouble so it's gone! Yeppeee!!!! :) Still need to keep her quiet and she's not allowed left alone without it but its so cool to see her without the silly thing. She is just a happy as I am and...

Thanks everyone! She slept all night last night & so did I - first time since the op. It really is like having a child! Although my sister thinks kids might be easier! :p

Results are back... Just got a call from our vet and the lab tests are back . The diagnosis was correct and Storm had Glicoma in her eye which wouldn't have gone away with treatment. No sign of cancer or thing else bad. She wouldn't of ever had vision in that eye as the retina was detached...

Pics approved & Thanks Hi Everyone, Well today Storm is much better and i'm trying to keep her from playing too much. She is running around like normal and we managed to keep her in her own bed most of the night. She has even managed to negotiate the cone a little better. The picture of...

Storm the day after having her eye removed.

Stressed out! Yesterday BF & I had a break down in communication and ended up both working the same shift (I thought he was on night he thought I was so we both thought someone would be home to look after Storm) Luckily our flatmate was at home to keep a watch. He rang me to say she kept...

Bum wiggles & happy face is back Update time...She was up & down all night and wouldn't sleep in her own bed but of course that was fine with me! Bit of a squish when BF came home from work at 2am. When I got up at 5am and turned on the light I gave her my normal good morning greeting with hugs...

She's home!!! Storm is home and is doing great! She was wandering around at the start in a bit of a daze and she has her sad face on but otherwise she is perfect! Her eye (well where her eye was) looks really good - they seemed to have done a tidy job. I don't know how much is swelling etc but...

Thank you all... Thank you to everyone who has posted. It really helps me try and deal with this. Today is the day of surgery and I spent most of the night crying and now have to go to work (its 6.20am here) so BF is taking her in at 8am and my vet said he knows how much I stress so will ring...

After two years of vets & specialist not knowing why Storm's eye was often cloudy a decision to remove it has been made. Her right eye became inflamed last week and blue (which now turns out to be blood behind the lens). I took her back to her eye specialist and this morning he said she has...
