She sent me this a couple wks ago after I left a phone msg asking her to call me for more info...
"Hi, I apoligize greatly for not getting back to you sooner. I tryed calling you last week but you were not in. Buddy has been going well considering everything he has been through.
His diagnosis was acute glaucoma. He had a luxated lens in his right eye. The eye doctor in Williston said the fibers that hold the lens in place just gave way and disolve. She said terriers are know to have severe genetic defects with there eyes. He had both his lens removed and glaucoma lasering done to his eyes to try and lower the pressures. He is now near-sighted and he is still on eye pressure medicine. But he is still happy and still hiking. Talk to you soon. Hope all is well."
