Nip/Tuck

Posted by respect-a-bull on February 18, 2010 at 11:16 AM

It's done!  For the first time in his life, Stanley is able to see the world without his lashes digging into his eye.  He did great during surgery.  He's not so happy about wearing the cone, but it's only for 2 weeks while his eyes heal and after that it will be all over. 


I spent a lot of time with Stanley as we were his first foster home, and there wasn't one time that I saw his eyes open this much.  Even with the cone, the stressful day and the stitches, there must be some major relief already.


I used to marvel at Stanley's ability to run through the yard at full speed while keeping his eyes closed.  Somehow he'd manage to not run into trees or the fence.  He was so sensitive with his eyes, but now that is all in the past. 


We're so happy for you, Buddy!  Heal up, get that cone off and get out in the world and really SEE!

Hooray for Stanley!! I'm so glad his surgery went well. I think I'll miss seeing his squinty eyed face which had become so endearing, but this is much better for him! Thanks for the update and pictures. It means a lot to those of us who have followed his journey

This is a triumph for all dog lovers, all the bully breeds and for humans out there that actually still care and get out there everyday and fight the good fight. Bless you all that do, and bless whoever made that incredible video in the first place. I hope it has inspired everyone as much as it did me. Do better. Be better. Go Stanley, go!

Its a whole new world for Stanley thanks to you and the other people who have helped him! I have a picture of Stanely in my office and you can't even tell he has eyes they are so tightly closed. What beautiful eyes you have, Stanley! Thank you for all that you do for Stanley!
