Re: Mickey Has diabetes possible Cushings too
Dori,
If you know any older folks who have been through cataracts and surgery, you know their cataracts aren't always removed immediately, but at a certain "point" determined by their eye specialist.
Regarding replacement lenses, some have had no problems with them while others have.
I sure can see the point about less infection risk; our little one before Lucky had to undergo cruciate ligament surgery on one back leg. The tendon was damaged so badly, she had to have an artificial one implanted. She had an infection and needed to go back into the hospital for it initially. After that, we had no further problems with her implant. We called her the "Bionic Dog" after that.
Long before diabetes, Lucky needed to have the same type of surgery on both of his back legs, one by one. Neither of his tendons were damaged to the point where artificial replacements were needed--he had no infection issues when either of them were done.
Am sure those who have been through cataract surgery--with or without implants--will be glad to tell you more about their dog's experiences from the surgery.
