The story of Eye...

So, last Sunday my eye started bothering me... it was a little swollen and mom just thought I poked it on something.  Then, as the day went on, it started getting puffier and puffier and soon it was both eyes.  By the time we all sat down to relax and watch some TV, both eyes were swollen and gooey -ick.  Then when we woke up the next morning, both eyes were swollen shut and I couldn't see ANYTHING.  So momma cleaned them out, called the work place and told them she'd be late and she called the VET and off we went.  I could see a little bit after momma cleaned me up... but it wasn't pretty...
Goin' to the VET.
Waitin' like a good sickie boy at the VET.
Dr. VET wasn't Dr. Mike, who I usually see, but he sure was nice.  Since I have 87 problems, mom figured she'd tell him about everything since we were there.  So he started with my tail, which I busted open on last Sunday when my furiends came over to play. 
This was the messy floor after I busted my tail open.
Mom didn't get pictures of the blood on the fridge, cabinets,
walls, doors and ceiling.... YES, ceiling.
So the VET told mom what to do to keep it from opening again because it needed to heal.  And he explained how important it was that her and dad keep an eye on it because eventually I could get nerve damage and they might have to remove my tail.  YEAH... wtf.  More on that later.....

Then, momma told the VET about my paws and how I cut them up when I'm outside... so the VET looked at my paws.  He told momma that I need to wear boots when going out in the rough snow because there was icky stuffs in the cuts in my paws -which also bleed everywhere.  So Grandma Lynda bought me new boots so I no longer have to wear the pink ones.  THANKS GRANDMA LYNDA!!!  I don't have pictures of my new boots yet.

Then, Dr. VET gets to my eyes... he stuck a icky paper in my eye ball and shined a weird light at me.  He said it was to see if there were any cuts on my eyeball.  There weren't.  So he gave momma some cream to put in my eyes 3 times a day.  He also said I needed to be rechecked because my eye lids were rolling in towards my eyes, which could be a whole nother problem - YEA.  Seriously.

Then we were just about done when momma remembered the bump that's been on my shoulder since I had my nasty hives.  So Dr. VET looked at that and took a mental note of how big (small) it was.  So he's going to recheck that today when I go for my recheck of my eye balls.  He said he wanted to biopsy it - whatever that means.

Finally on the way home from the VET.
When we got home, momma put into action the plan her and Dr. VET talked about.....

Yep... See that on the end of my tail?  YEP.
I know, I have a nice butt, but you have to
look at the end of my tail, please.
Then the momma gave me a nice treat for leaving my tail wrap on.
Close up of momma's awful job.  BUT it stayed on and now it's
off because it's all healed up and I haven't split it open in about
a week ::KNOCK ON WOOD::
BUT, Dr. VET says that I should wear it any time we THINK I'm
going to be really excited... like when Heather and Emmett come to visit... hehehe
SO... the momma is getting out of the workplace early and coming home to get me so we can go back to see Dr.VET.  Usually we go much later, but she wanted to make sure we saw the same Dr. VET.  My eyeballs are doing better, but they were a little puffy again yesterday.  Momma says I'm making her go grey and giving her premature wrinkles.  Whatever mom.  Stop trying to blame that stuff on me.
These were my better eyes on Friday.
Going to be posting something really cool at some point this week... Momma just needs to get her act together and get things organized.  I'll get her right on that once we get home from the large bill VETS Office. Hope you all had a fun weekend and enjoyed the SUPERBOWL!!!  Go PACK Go!!! (Hey... I couldn't root for the Giants! BOL)

Later Dudes.

  3. Wow, tail, bumps and eyes?? Dude, you need to stop trying so hard!! I hope your eyes are okay...I've gotten used to the drops. I go Saturday to see Dr. Eye Vet to figure out what's going on with my Pannus. Good luck and kisses!

  4. Oh no, not another case of happy tail. Corbin, you let your Mom or Dad put that protector on your tail or you will end up like Gypsy. The Momster says she so understands about the blood splatter and how it can get everywhere, even the ceiling. We will cross our paws for your eyes, tail, and paws, and the bump too to all be better. And then,no more problems, OK? Mom had a Golden Retriever who had those eyelids that rolled under and it wasn't a good thing at all. Get better, Corbin.

  11. OMDogness Corbin!

    Your Momma must be a wreck with all the things going on with you my friend.
    Wow! That was quite a paint job for her. You should of told her it was for Valentine's Day. All red and from the heart ;o)

    Now seriously, I'm sending my powerful Yorkie healing vibes towards you. Hope everything gets healed pronto! You poor soul! That is no fun having sores all over your body... Tell your Mommy that my Mommy feels her worries.

  12. Glad you're feeling better. The eye stuff sounds pretty scary. Miss M is always rubbing her eyes with her paws, even when they're cut from the ice. Did the vet think maybe you rubbed something into your eye like that?

  13. Well that was quite an adventure! I am glad you are feeling better. Take care, my friend!

  16. You sure have lots of sports injuries...we're glad your eyes are improving. And we'll keep our paws crossed that the lump and inturned eye lids aren't serious.

    You must be VERY HAPPY and excited when you have dog dates, to split your tail.

  17. Well, I'll admit it. I was kind of glancing at your butt. Pretty sure a bandaged tail is WAY better than a cone of shame, so count your blessings my friend. Maybe your mom could get cool dude skull and bones tape? Yeah, that would make it much better.

  18. Oh, no! Ouch, ouch, ouch! Just looking at your eyes made my eyes feel bad! And your poor tail! (Although it was nice we gots to see your handsome butt and all.) I hope when you go to the Dr. VET, he gives you a clean bill of health - and that it doesn't cost 87,000 green papers.

  19. I will not admit to looking at your butt, sniffing it maybe.

    That is quite a list of aliments. And I thought I was breaking the bank, he he. I still got my bandage on but mama changed it and it is smaller now. Glad you got your off for the time being.

  25. Oh I is glad you are feeling a little better, but you gots to heal all up! The tail thing is common in Danes, I have what they call a gay tail in the show dog world. It incorrectly curls up at the end. Momma thinks it may prevent me from getting Happy tail like you got. I hope the bump is nothing and your eyes get better soon. THe blood on the floor, Momma can relate. I got scratched on the ear my my oldest kitty brother when I was little and then I shook and shook and shook. All overs the carpet. Natures Miracle cleans everything. Feel betters soon.

  30. That sounds like one painful trip to the vet's office, both for you and your mom!

    A lot of Greyhounds suffer from "happy tail" and a trick that a lot of their owners use is to take an old hair roller and put that over the end of the tail inside the wrap. Extra protection! ;)

  31. Oh Corbin, that's a lot of vet stuff to having going on all at once. I had a hard time focusing on your tail with that cute butt nearby but, when I finally did, I could see what a great job your mom did wrapping it.

    And, your eyes! We've had lots of eye dramas in our house of dogs so make sure to take good care of them. I hope that they're ALL better very soon.

  32. Oh Corbin, I am sorry you had such a stressful time. I have 87 (at least) problems, too, so I definitely feel your pain. Feel better!
