Things went fairly well at the eye vet yesterday with Luna. Luna was a trooper as always.
The eye vet agreed that Luna's right eye is extremely dry. However, she noted that it is not because Luna is not producing tears (Luna tested at an 8 in her left eye on the Schirmer Tear Test this visit). It is because of all of the built up scar tissue on the eye.
So, we have added one more drop to our arsenal and have been instructed to give Luna the Genteal drops as often and as frequently as needed. The Genteal drops will help keep her eye moist.
The good news is her right eye is doing great. There have been no changes since our last visit, which is extremely good news.
I hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday weekend! Perhaps some lucky puggies out there will get to crash a few barbecues.

Luna goes to the eye vet this morning for her usual checkup. I know the news is not going to be good. Her left eye has very low tear production and despite our best efforts we have not been able to get it to improve. We have been tweaking her drops, trying new medicines but nothing seems to work. There is just too much scar tissue on the eye for anything to be effective. So, we have been giving her lots of Genteal Severe Dry Eye Relief drops to help keep some moisture in her eye.
I'm anxious to hear what the eye vet suggests as our next steps because the drops no longer seem to be working in her left eye. They worked well for a few years, but starting late last year they have gradually started becoming less and less effective.
The good news is that her right eye seems to be staying the same. She appears to have good tear production in that eye and the current treatment appears to be working well. That is very good news because that is her "good eye", the one that pretty much gives her all of her vision.
I'll let you know how everything goes.

When we first rescued Luna she would not venture out into the yard without one of her brothers. Well, she would got out to go potty of course, but she always went right out, did her business and then came right back. The boys always like to go out and linger in the early morning sun. Luna would always join them, but would never go out unless they went first. However, now that she is more comfortable, she is usually one of the first ones out to soak up the sun. Now her brothers follow her around!

How Luna prefers to enjoy the pool.

Here we have little Luna all tuckered out after playing in the yard. I think this angle makes her look bigger and more imposing. She may insist that I start taking all her photos from this vantage point

What I love about Luna is that if one of the boys are laying where she would like to lay, she will just stare at them. She won't go find another place to sleep, she just hovers around willing them to get up. If she could tap a toe on her paw while she waits, I'm sure she would be doing that too.

Luna is waiting for her dog biscuit return from Uncle Sam.
