we took ryder to the vet first thing this morning after noticing something very wrong with his eye. it almost looked like some kind of cist on the corner of his eyeball. of course i was freaking out as usual over any pain my babies may have. daddy was the trooper and strong one and said he was going to be just fine. anyway, the vet said it is his third eyelid that had popped out. he also said in these small dogs that it does happen and most of the time they need surgery to correct it. he goes back on the 18th for a follow up and then we will know if this little guy is going to need surgery. he also has an infection in it and is on antibiotic eye drops 4 times a day. boy he really hates that! i mean hates it! anyway, if he needs surgery the doc said he will wait until ryder is old enough to be neutered also and do them at the same time. reason being, his face is still growing and he doesn't want to do it until ryder is about full size. this little fella has not had it easy. first he ingested one of the birds beak blocks and was rushed to the er vet for that, now this. i will do an update on ryder on the 19th. vet appt is for 5pm on friday.
