Update 6/18/10:Pugsley went for a follow-up appointment today and is doing well. He needs to continue receiving eye drops every day. New pictures have been added in the below slideshow.

Update 5/10/10:Unfortunately, Pugsley had to go back to the eye doctor today as his graft didn't look right. Turns out, the graft had moved and he needed to have surgery again. Thankfully, the doctor was willing to do the surgery for free; however we still had to pay for the anesthesia. Please help support Pugsley in keep his one eye. Without this eye he would be blind.

Update 5/6/10: Pugsley was scheduled for a follow-up appointment tomorrow, 5/7. However, today we had an emergency come up. This morning we noticed Pugsley was not acting quite right as he was walking like he couldn't see at all. After picking him up to see what was wrong, we noticed his right eye (which is his good eye) was closed and he wouldn't open it. Once we were able to get it open, we noticed it was clouded over and something was not right. We immediately contacted Animal Eye Care of Western NY to report this issue. After explaining the problem, they advised to get there as soon as possible. After rushing him to the vet, we learned he had a hole in his eye, which most likely happened while he was playing outside. Pugs don't show much pain when this type of accident occurs which makes it difficult to know there is anything wrong. His eye now has an infection causing the cloudiness in his eye. At this time, he cannot see. The vet kept him since they need to perform surgery on his eye. If successful, which the vet states happens most of the time, he will start to gain his vision within a couple days. He will have a circular scar on his eye where they have to suture a grafting over the hole so it can heal. We are very distraught over this. With this came a hefty fee for the surgery at $1640.00. Please help support the poor little guy and donate today! Every dollar helps. Thank you for your support.

Update 2/23/10: I had my follow-up appointment last week and things are going well. I have been able to stop my one eye drop medication and have a new one. Since my tear ducts only work at about 20%, I have a new eye drop medication to help stimulate my tear ducts to get them working normally. I have a follow-up appointment on May 7th. To help cover the costs of these follow-up vet costs, my chipin amount has been changed to $550. Please help and donate today! I will provide a new update when I have my next appointment. I appreciate everyone's support!

Update 1/12/10: I went for my appointment on 1/12/2010 as planned for my eye surgery at Animal Eye Care of Western NY. The doctor said my caregivers did an amazing job taking care of my eye by giving me my eye med's and making sure no additional damage was done to my eye. I will have another visit in a month and if things are still going good then I will not need my eye removed.

Here are some pictures from my appointment.

We have lowered the chipin amount to $300 to cover my vet visits and eye treatment med's. If I end up needing my eye removed then we will change the chipin back to $700. THANK YOU very much to all of you who have cared enough about me (Pugsley) to help towards my treatment. We will keep you posted on my progress.
