The Time has come to decide do we keep trying to save Speedy's Left eye or do get Speedy's eye removed after talking about it this weekend and there has been no further improvement in the healing of the eye So we have decided that the best thing for Speedy is surgery ..... This will mean no more eye drops or eye gel and no more pain killer to stop it from hurting once he has recovered from the surgery.
What is the point in trying to save the eye when he can't see with it and it is causing him pain....there is no point.I don't know when it will be as I will talk to the vet tomorrow about the cost and when it can be done.
So once he has recovered Not only will Speedy be The Cheeky House Bunny but he will be A Cheeky Pirate and Buccaneer too!

That sounds like the best solution. I once had a cat that had somehow badly damaged his eye. The vet tried to save it but it didn't improve and it was obviously painful. We had it removed and it totally changed his life back to being relaxed and playful again.
ReplyDeletethats what we think about Speedy,he will be much happier than he is now which is quite Happy but it is hurting him,xx Rachel
DeleteWe agree too, and I know Speedy will do just fine, Speedy is very special and we will be purring and praying all goes well.
ReplyDeleteThank you Brian,we're keeping Fingers crossed and paws crossed,xx Rachel and Speedy
DeleteThe surgery is probably the best option for Speedy. I'm sure he'll feel a lot better once the painful eye is removed. Let us know once the surgery date is fixed.
ReplyDeleteLove you, sweet boy!
Thank you Guys,we will,xx Rachel
DeleteThis sounds extreme, but it will drastically IMPROVE his quality of life!!!!!
ReplyDeleteARRRGGGGHHH! Speedy will look like a real salty dog pirate!!!
Its the only thing to do now,and yes he will make a fine pirate bunny,xx Rachel
Deletepurrs. May the vet do all that is possible for the greatest good for Speedy. May Speedy heal quickly when all is said and done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Connie,we are praying for good out come,xx Rachel
DeletePoor Speedy. Good luck with the surgery. But one thing is sure: you will stay the cutest of all rabbits.
ReplyDeleteAwww thanks guys,xx Speedy
DeleteI used to know a cat with one eye and three legs and it was happy and friendly, though not allowed outdoors.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the surgery and hope Speedy recovers well and speedily
Speedy will still be able to go out once he has recovered,thanks Juliet,xx Rachel
DeleteAll our prayers and warmest husky woooos for our furiend Speedy!
ReplyDeleteRA, Isis & Nanük
Thank you Ra,Isis,and Nanuk,this means a lot,xx Rachel and Speedy
DeleteI am sure that Speedy will be much better after the surgery, but the humans worry quite a lot about these kind of things! Good luck Speedy. I will be purring for you, buddy xx
ReplyDeleteAww thanks Austin mummy is a worry wort...hehe,xx Speedy
DeleteOh Speedy... Well, if your eye is hurtin', we can't have that. And if you can't see with it, there's no reason to be in pain 'cause of it so... your mom and dad are doin' the right thing. We're all gonna be purring for you... LOTS! You can count on that.
ReplyDeletePurrs,
Nissy
Awww thanks Nissy,I will be happier when its gone,xx Speedy
DeleteI am sending purrs Speedy's way! If the eye is hurting him and it's not getting better, it's best to remove it for sure.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sparkle you're a sweetie,xx Rachel and Speedy
DeleteOh my sweet boy. Sending lots of light, love and happy wishes your way for you and your Mum. Auntie shell
ReplyDeleteAwww thanks Auntie Shell,love you,xx Speedy and Rachel
DeleteWe're purring for Speedy and hope all goes well with his surgery.
ReplyDeleteThanks Guy,we do too,xx Rachel
DeleteTough decision to make, but I'm sure Speedy will make a cute pirate. Surgery was never an option for Weasley, because of his age and infirmity. Speedy is young and strong, so hopefully this will have him sailing the sea in no time at all!
ReplyDeleteHe will be a cute pirate,and I'm sure he will do fine,xxx Rachel
DeleteI think you are doing the right thing. If he cannot see out of it, then removing it will just make one less thing to get infected or hurt later. I had a blind golden retriever---she got around so well and never ran into a tree..knew just when to turn a corner! and she had NO eyesight--at least Speedy will still have a good eye....and lots of love from you and family! My best for sweet Speedy.
ReplyDeleteLee in Texas
Thanks Lee,he's going to be fine I'll just worry until its over and Speedy is at home,xx Rachel
DeleteOh Speedy, you will look super cute with an eye patch. Sounds like a good decision. Sorry Speedy has to lose his eye, but at least it won't cause him pain anymore. He will be fine without it.
ReplyDeleteAwww thanks Ann,xx Rachel
DeleteOh Speedy! me could not believes how happy and cheerful and like a puppy my old hairy slobbery sister Bob was after they removed her eye! There is different options (for dogs), like glass balls the vet can puts in so it looks like their eye is just closed, and stuff like that, but we asked which would be the easiest and fastest to heal and that was just getting it removed (along with the tear ducts) and stitched closed. It only took 3 weeks for it all to be healed up!

Awww thanks Nellie I guess it will be the same for me too,xx Speedy
DeleteHey Speedy! I am sorry you are having some troubles but rest assured you will still have a great life without the painful eye. We will be thinking of you and watching for updates sweetie pie.
ReplyDeleteAwww thanks Christina,love you,xx Speedy
DeleteWe are so sorry Speedys' eye can't be saved but it sounds like the best solution. Our paws are crossed for Speedy and we hope it all goes OK.
ReplyDeleteHave a marvellous Monday.
Best wishes Molly
Thanks Molly you're such a sweetie,xx Rachel
DeleteWell done Speedy's mum for making the right decision! ♡ We hope Speedy recovers quickly. Our owner once knew a rat with one eye and it was renamed PiRat.

When Fuzz was going blind from his cataracts we were given surgery as an option but decided against it.

Deleteaaww Speedy ((HUGS)) my friend. My human daddy can't see but maybe 10% out of one eye and not out of the other at all and he gets along just fine. I have great positive energy flowing your way during your upcoming surgery and recovery. We all must have a party once you are feeling better. Love you little one - XOXO - Bacon
