I will have to find out if that is what our vet is planning to do.

he made a pocket and put the gland back in and sutured it closed.

that is a big difference between the two photos. Did you have it tacked or was another method used?

wait and see. You can tell by the way he breathes when he is exerting himself.

I am sorry he (and you) are having these problems. Sounds like your vet knows what he is doing. It is unfortunate for Ajax to get the histiocytoma right beside THAT eye...It is probably encroaching on the eye and making the whole thing seem worse.

Does he seem to be in any distress? I am sure he could get get on the Maxitrol (or something) to relieve the discharge if it seems infected. It is very difficult to 'wait' for these things and I do not know what the theory behind waiting is, in Ajax' case?

Is he having trouble breathing? is that why he is having his nares widened? or, is it just something the vet suggested? Can Ajax play without getting out of breath and breathing hard?

If you feel really confident about your vet, then you pretty much need to go with his suggestions. going in on Monday is not a bad idea to see about the infection part. I would defintely go in or get a second opinion from someone else.

we appreciate your help!

to the air and the pollens attach, and have no where to drain. The lacrimal hole (tearduct) that drains the eye in to the nasal passage way is blocked.

Just keep using the drops to keep it moist, i would also keep trying to put it back in.

It should be fine to wait to have it all taken care up at 1 time.

This is Spike's before and after pics.  Ask the vet for some neo,poly,bac eye oinment until surgey.  He will be fine.

I am a little worried about the "wait and see" approach, but I am a big worrier anyway... We asked the vet about Ajax's breathing because he seems to stop breathing (kind of like a human with sleep apnea) in his sleep. I wasn't sure if it was the nares or his palate. The vet said that one of his nostrils is almost closed, but the other one is fine and suggested widening the one. He is a BCA recommended vet and has done this surgery a lot, so I trust his judgment, but I also like to get practical advice from more experienced bulldog owners. Ajax seems to breathe okay when he's playing. He doesn't pant any more than other dogs we're around. I will keep everyone posted on this situation. Thanks again!
