Again.............

Well, she tore out the IV catheter in her lavage system AGAIN.  I had to have my vet out AGAIN to fix it.   I am probably going to have to have her eye sewn shut AGAIN because her blink reflex is not good enough to keep her eye moistened.  I don't think she is making any tears yet. Her eye closes about half way and the top part is getting moistened by all the medicines that we are shoving into the system.  The bottom part of her eye is still too dry and she can't close it enough to let the medicines cover it.

I think I owe every vet in the area a ton of money.  I am a teacher and I don't make a lot of money.   There are going to have to be some tough decisions made in the next month.  I have, honestly, spent nearly $10,000 on this so far.  I say spent but it is more like "charged" and I am making payments to the vets that will take them.

It may come down to just giving up and having her eye removed.  This one large expense may be cheaper than trying to save her eye.  We could go through all this and still have to remove it anyway.

I am so tired. This is so stressful.  I don't know what to do and no one can advise me because no one knows.  Her eye could be better in a day, a week, six months, a year, or never.  Be prepared for this if you have to go through this.    Her eye is in a terrible amount of pain and we are doing EVERYTHING that we can to get through this.

If anyone has dealt with this, I could sure use some help. Please tell me your experience with all of this.  I am holding onto my last thread of hope.
