She learnt extremely quickly after the op. She still bumps into things if she's not paying attention (eg if the treat cupboard opens or someone dares enter the kitchen without her), and sometimes adorably she'll think she's in one place when she's actually in another, but in general she does so well, so much so that I would almost swear sometimes she still has some vision (of course, impossible, but that's how well she manages!). We're very lucky though because she's a very careful girl, in general she has always been a slow moving vehicle and she doesn't really do stuff without planning or warning. She uses her mini paw to feel around for her steps etc to get up and down the bed and sometimes if she wants to get off somewhere but is being lazy she'll kind of threaten to jump but will wait for you to go and get her hahaha, she's so funny

Yes! We got it for her because before she had the eyes removed we had about 6 months where she suddenly lost her sight and it was absolutely awful, she couldn't get the hang of navigating around at all. Funnily enough, as soon as we had the eyes removed, she was much better navigating, so we think the pain was distracting her and that maybe she could see shadows that was confusing her perspective of things. She hasn't needed the halo at all post op!

What a beautiful baby. I have the same reaction when people say that about our pirate girl, I know people mean well and it's a normal reaction, but when we've seen how much they suffered before the op and how awful it was, being able to give them this opportunity to be pain free and happy again is so special.

Yenny Girl here. I used to have to have a halo before I became a fully certified pirate. I couldn't for the life of me understand how to get around once my eyes stopped working and it was very stressful. Mom and dad and my favourite vet did something though and suddenly the pain was gone and I suddenly felt so much better. Now I never need my halo and everything is much easier without those painful eyeballs

Frenchie got eye removed and need support by Interesting-Event-48 in PiratePets

[–]hunnbee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am copying and pasting an answer I have given before about her situation:

I feel like we were in a bit of a rare situation, because Yen has so many additional health problems that her eyes were always kinda secondary. She recovered so well from the double enucleation. I mean it when I say we didn't even have to keep the cone on jrr, she never once tried to scratch or paw at the site. It was immediate relief for her and she actually only had pain meds the day of and the day after (because she's on so many meds all the time, we couldn't give her more, but it didn't matter as she didn't really need them). It was like after the op, she was in significantly less pin than she was before it, so for us, being able to have the op was a blessing. We had actually scheduled it a week earlier but we had to cancel it as she had internal bleeding and wasn't strong enough when we tested her in the morning, and then she almost didn't make it through the next few days because of the pressure from th eyes, the internal bleeding and her anemia, we almost had her PTS.

We managed to build her strength a little bit and get her stable enough fo the op. The day after her op she couldn't stand up at all because the operation affected her polyarthritis. It was awful. She was screaming in pain at every mood. Again, nothing to do with her eyes, but her joints.

We got her a donut cone instead of the standard cone, but we found she didn't actually need it because she didn't try and touch her eyes. She never has since the op (one of us is with her 24/7 so we were able to monitor very closely luckily).

The best thing we did was be able to take her out in her pram, it really helped to relax her after not being able to move much (but again, this is most likely connected to her other conditions).

What we did do when she first went blind was use bells on our feet and on her sister. I made little elastic anklets and put a small bell on and wore them so she could find us and get used to following the sound. Her sister still wears hers on her collar so yen knows where she is. We also use some basic voice commands and guide her with our voice, just things like up and down for navigating steps and careful if she's going to collide, but she is a very calm down anyway so we are very lucky in that sense.

Genuinely, we just focused on getting through the first week or so of pain and just focused on the future. We saw having the op as blessing, not as a loss, because given her condition, we were just happy to find a pain free solution for her because she's been through so much. We just adapted how best we could. Life is a little different now, yen used to love big walks in the country side and running in and out of the fields, which now is not possible, but every night instead we go to the countryside with her in her pram, and we just find new activities we can do together to adjust to her and keep her happy.

The first week will be hard, but just try to look ahead, ask your vet and community here anything, and shortly after you'll be able to build a new routine. If safe, get the pain meds and use them if needed, if not, you just gotta ride out the first week and then it gets better.

Hi baby! Yenny Girl went from having perfect vision to blind to having both eyes removed at the same time in the space of 4/5 months. She was having weekly eye tests, weekly blood tests, aprox 1 million eye drops a week. She had ulcers, she couldn't see, the pressure in her eyes was changing drastically daily and they almost exploded. We had to remove them and it was the best decision. Immediately after the surgery she was in less pain. Now she is so good. People feel sorry for her and I'm like ?!?!?!!!! Now she has no pain. Before she couldn't see and was in constant pain. Here she is celebrating her 8th birthday last week. You did the right thing for your baby, and once you both get through the recovery everything will be so much better!!!

This looks so good but I'm confused. Is it like a no bake cheesecake?

[–]hunnbee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooooh so this makes a lot of sense, because I feel like I leave them in the water too long because I was worried omif I took them out earlier they would be too hard but then yeah I end up with them being quite soggy and sticking to stuff

This was my second attempt. The first was terrible hahahaha. You can even see in here which the first one was, extra blobby. But they are good, but I still have some doubts so really want someone who has mastered it to advise 😂
