Please send good vibes for my doggie.

[Minimus]

I woke up this morning and noticed Mimic, my 5 year old JRT, had cloudy, bluish eyes that were watering really bad. She was also squinting a lot or just keeping them closed. I took her to the vet and was told she has anterior uveitis (inflammation in her eyes) caused by something internal. The vet ran some basic blood work and all came back within normal range but he is sending it off for further testing as well a sample of fluid from her eyes. The results will be back on Monday.

The vet said it could be related to a number of things - liver disease, kidney disease, pancreatitis, or something with her endocrine system like thyroid or cushings. He sent us home with some prednisone eye drops and gave me his cell number just in case I need to call him on Sunday.

My poor baby looks so miserable - I can't believe she can actually see but the vet said she can. I know she is hurting because she will occasionally whimper and she tries to rub her eyes with her paws.

It is going to be a long night and a very long Sunday. Monday cannot get here quick enough so I can find out the results of the lab test.

This is a google picture of a dog with anterior uveitis - both of Mimic's eyes look just like this:



Here is a picture of Mimic from earlier today - she keeps her eyes squinted or closed:





This is how she normally looks:
