Dock is doing about as good as expected. We were at a friends cottage for a few days last weekend, and she stayed at the vets and did fine there. My vet didn't get a chance to look at her, but as I didn't have any issues, the staff just let her do her own thing.
I noticed on Thursday afternoon that her left eye appeared a bit odd. After looking a bit closer, her pupil looked as if it had shifted a bit to the left. Her eye sight did not appear to be a problem, and as I am a worrier, I didn't know if I was seeing what I was seeing. I needed the hubby to look, and he confirmed this afternoon that he is seeing it too. It is just a tiny bit, so not really too noticeable, but if he's seeing it, than I'm not loosing my mind.
I checked in with the vet and it sounds like strabismus. We know she has some cranial nerve deficits, more so on her left side, so likely what is going on is the tumor has grown and is now occupying more space. As she is still quite lovable, eating well, good hydration, and is loving her pets and her brushing, until she shows signs of altered sight, or neurological function issues, we will continue on as is. I'm going to up her pred to twice a day for a few days to see if that helps with the strabismus.
