3-20-07 – Emma wakes up with a cloudy right eye
Emma repawing in: Little did we know this morning, the March 16, 2007 when we all woke up, Emma was experiencing her first signs of closed angle, primary glaucoma. Emma was only 3 at the time.
I noticed immediately that her right eye seemed a bit cloudy, even before I got out of bed. It was early spring and Emma suffers terribly from allergies. Maybe it was just a flower she got into out back the night before?
I kept looking at her all morning and it just did not look right. I called my vet and made an appointment that day. He agreed with my preliminary, diagnosis. He sent us home with some eye ointment.
Had I been more informed I may had been able to save vision in that eye for an undetermined time period. Emma had abnormal angles when I bought her. I did not know an angle from a circle. I was given no warning about what that meant. Poor Emma, I might have been able to do more according to my eye doctor.
I went home with my 8.00 eye ointment and in the process killed all hope of saving vision in that eye forever. I may have only been able to save her vision for a year or so, but a year is a gift when your hound is so young.
Glaucoma is fast acting and you need to be as well. My Vet and I were so used to her severe allergies he and I both over looked the dreaded glaucoma. Emma also has a dermatologist who has her on a special diet. Emma is allergic to protein in her food. She is also allergic to most everything else.
Poor Emma, she has so many problems.
No matter what your hound’s problems are, check the obvious. Glaucoma.
My little 2 year old girl just before she lost the sight in her first eye.
I have a glossary of terms to the right under the header Navigation. Here you can look up words that may be very helpful. Remember, Glaucoma is VERY FAST acting. Get to your vet or an emergency Vet ASAP!
More later from Emma who sees with her heart and her nose!
It looks like my videos are not showing up?
Howllo Fellow Hound and YouTube lovers:
It looks like the videos that were playing last night on my blog are now not showing. I am going to e-mail my website master and see if he knows what is happening. All the links are still in place, so maybe it’s a YouTube thing???

Google Plans Push to Sell Ads to Appear Inside Videos
Howllo Fellow Hound and no loving ads lovers:
Well, I might have answered my own question listed below. Google is trying to make even more money than God! My Mom cut this article out of the NYTs and it is probably why my ads are looking so funky and not dog related. So, if you are interested here is the link:

Sup with my Google ads?
Howllo fellow hound and not loving my ads lovers!
Some of you have seen firearms training and hand to hand combat video ads on my blog that are totally baffling moi??? All I can do is go into AdSense and block them which I have done. I have a feeling why they are showing up. I clicked on a Snoops link about protecting one’s self yesterday and this could be a clue. Is Snoops selling e-mail addresses? Seems pretty suspicious to me!
Do you have any ideas? Let me know!
