Photo taken one hour after surgery on 5/3/2017 |
I said to the vet, we don't want to put him under to do the surgery, Bob says if his dad was alive he would just hold him down and cut it off... The vet said, I can do that. And I will do that. He came back with scissors, put deadening drops in Jakes eye, two assistants held his head, while I tried not to cry, and snip snip snip and it was gone. He had his annual with bloodwork and all his shots and surgery and was done in 15 minutes.
The vet said Jake is amazing. he said the first snip he did not know what was coming, but the 2nd and 3rd he did and he never even flinched. It gone and will grow back in a year or 2 but vet said, if it grows back I will snip it again.... that was the first miracle. the 2nd was the fact he charged us NOTHING. it was included in the annual exam/shots..... and Jake is so happy, he can see and no big marble hanging out of his eye. It is not a malignant tumor but a common one in older dogs.
Thank you Lord, for answered prayers |

Aye and AMEN! Praise God for this miracle that Jake is healed and comfortable again. What a darling old boy he is to not flinch when the vet snipped at his eye. I was just thinking too: If I was there, I'd have held him while Bob snipped it off. But good that you had the vet and also confirmed it's not malignant but one of the signs of old age in dogs. Oh I am SO happy for you both and for darling Jake. Please give him a big hug from all the menagerie here on a Farm in Africa! xx
Double WOW! I just read this aloud to Phil. This vet is pure GOLD!! And Jake is such a good boy! I would have given him hundreds of treats afterwards. GREAT and inspirational story, GOOD BOY, Jake!!!!

What a nice blessing you received. So glad it was rather simple for Jake.
'Sitting over here with tears in my eyes. Thank God for that wonderful, caring vet!
Kisses to Jake!
How pawesome! I'm glad you were able to get rid of that yucky thing.
That vet is a keeper. Good boy Jake for behaving so well through it
Oh, Sandra....this makes me cry with joy for you....so, so glad. Even though I didn't know beforehand.
I was going to write exactly what Rose did above. I am so very happy that tears came to my eyes. Good old Jake, good old vet. Our vet is young but just the same, his quick action saved Samson's eyesight back in 2012.
That is a wonderful vet. Jake deserved a miracle. Perhaps your vet is the miracle in and of himself :)
Yay, Jake. Enjoy seeing clearly, my friend.
Your vet is an angel, what a great guy. So glad Jake is clear of that tumor.
Jake, you are truly blessed.
