Tasha made it through surgery, she is now our pirate dog. Last night was really rough on everyone. She was in a lot of pain from surgery, and just kept a continuous whimper going for quite a while. But around 6 or so, we were able to give her pain medication, and then the rest of the night went pretty well, even if she has no idea what to do with this strange cone on her head.
Roxie somehow knows she needs to be extra cautious around Tasha, and one of the most touching moments of last night was when Roxie decided to lay down near Tasha with their paws touching. It could, of course, just be a coincidence, but every time that Roxie readjusted, she would also make sure that her paw was touching Tasha's paw.
She had a patch over her eye that was supposed to stay on till tonight, but it kept falling off. Blake and I made a valiant effort to get it back on, even using medical tape from our first aid kit, but all to no avail, and by the end of the night, we gave up, especially as it was really bothering Tasha every time we tried to get it to stay on.
I had prepared myself for seeing her by looking at other pictures of dogs that lost their eye, and I was really appreciative that other people were willing to post those pictures for people like me to see. So, my last picture in this post will be of Tasha, just one day after surgery, in hopes that if someone else needs to have their dog's eye removed, it will help them. If you would rather not see it, stop reading now. :-D
We are so proud of our brave pup.
