Rushed Honey to the emergency vet this morning when we woke up and found her completely lethargic and unresponsive and unable to open her eyes. Very unsteady on her feet and could hardly get her in & out of the car.
Harrowing morning, dragging into afternoon, waiting around while they ran tests – it seems to be acute glaucoma, with the pressure in her left eye 3 times normal. She was in a lot of pain (massive headache), nauseous and very high heart rate, slight fever. They’re keeping her in hospital overnight to monitor her and try to bring the pressure down in her eye with medication, plus determine the cause – as she was perfectly normal at 10pm last night. Very scary how quickly these things happen.
Because of the very high pressure, there’s probably been a lot of damage to her left eye and they think she may have lost the vision in that eye 
- and possibly may even need to have that eye removed.
To be honest, watching her stagger around this morning, I really thought we were going to lose her and would actually be relieved now just to have her back, minus one eye or not. Although it would be a tragedy for her to lose her beautiful eyes. Anyway, vet will update us in the morning…will keep you all posted when I can.

Oh no Hsin-Yi, that’s awful, I hope Honey gets better soon and that she gets to come home as soon as possible.
Sending healing vibes to Honey.
Abby and Jack send licks and woofs.
I hope you and Paul get some rest tonight, even though you will be thinking and worrying about Honey all night.
Take care, you are all in our thoughts.

How awful! I hope she gets out of there soon and that no severe damage will be caused to her eye. Honey is such a wonderful dog so it would really be a shame to have anything happen to her. I wish you the best of luck!
Hsin-Yi,
This is so scary. The same thing happened to my little hound. It sprung up overnight and she had already lost vision in one eye and the other was compromised by the time we brought her to the vet. I hope Honey is getting good sedation because it is very painful. Better to lose an eye than to be in pain. You have all the good thoughts I can muster. Please keep us update.
Mango Momma
Oh, no, that’s awful! We’re thinking happy thoughts towards Honey tonight…

Hopefully there’s no permanent damage (since you got Honey to the vet so quickly) and Honey gets to keep her eye. Whatever happens, the most important thing would be that Honey isn’t in pain. We’ll be thinking of you and waiting for updates. Take care!
Oh my god, we keep our fingers and paws crossed for poor Honey.
She is a strong girl, I’m sure she’s fighting with all her strengh to come back home in no time !
Good luck to you and a lot of cuddles to your girl.
We send you all our positive vibes.

Nooo this cant be true! I cant believe it, this is such an awful news and I feel terribly sad. I am gonna wait for your next positive post, and I truly hope Honey will gain her health back and I am sure no severe damage will be caused to her eye.
Hsin-yi and Paul take some rest and my prays with you.
Oh Honey, best wishes for a speedy recovery, you poor dear.
Love from Louise and Gary the terrier.
Hsin-Yi, Paul, Honey and Muesli, you’re all in our thoughts in these difficult and stressful moments and keep our fingers crossed that Honey may recover very soon.
This is horrible news, but hopefully the vet will be able to fix Honey up and maybe even safe her eye.
Best wishes from all of us!!

Oh, this is terrible! Thank you for taking the time to let us know. I will pray all goes well and that Honey recovers well.
Hope that you’ll be better soon Honey!
I’m very sad that this happened and am praying Honey makes a full recovery.
Again I am very sad. I wish the best for this special girl dog!
I’m simply happy she has you as an owner.
OMG you guys, I cannot imagine how stressed out you must be. I send my thoughts and prayers for you and our dear Honey. Get well soon and you and Paul remember to take care of each other!
We heard about Honey’s troubles from Mango and dropped by to send our good wishes! We hope Honey is feeling better and is back home with you soon!
Bunny
Oh no, Honey I am praying and praying for you and your family. You are very much loved by people who have never met you in person.
Poor Honey, we are so sorry to hear this news. Mom had a dog who had sudden onset glaucoma too. Lucky lost one eye right away and the other did pretty well with drops for about a year. But Lucky managed quite fine for many more years. Honey is so well trained and so very intelligent, we are hoping she too will do well. All paws crossed here for her.

Please get well soon, Honey! We will be crossing our paws and thinking of you today!
Oh Honey, that is so awful to hear! We hope that your nice vet helps to make the sickies go away. Mom says she has you, Paul and Hsin-Yi in her thoughts today!
We are thinking of you!
Lots of love, Teal’c and his hoomans xxx Paws and fingers crossed.
Oh, Hsin-Yi, how scary!!!! Poor Honey!!!!
I agree with you, though — after such a frightening episode it would be such a relief to be able to bring her home healthy, even if it means missing an eye.
Grendel and I will send all the positive energy we can to the beautiful girl…. though it’s in short supply around here, right now. We may have to make a very difficult decision about our 30 year-old gelding today….but that’s a story for another time.
Take care of yourself and keep us posted. You and Honey will be constantly in my thoughts!
We are thinking of you this morning and will keep Honey in our prayers. We are also sending hugs to you.
Sam
Wishing honey and you all the best and strength to get through this!!! She will recover, she is a strong and healthy girl!!! All my thoughts are with you!
OMG, I was shocked when I woke up and read your blog post this morning. I can’t even begin to imagine how scary that must have been. These big guys (and gals) are such lovers, its horrible to see them in any kind of pain. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you, Paul and Honey for a full and speedy recovery, and that the underlying cause is not too serious.
Big hugs from me & lots of healing slobbers from Murphy

Oh my goodness Hsin-Yi, I just checked your blog this morning and saw the awful news…Poor Honey, I’m sure you guys must be besides yourself. I’m sending you good healing thoughts and hoping for the best for Honey.
We have all our paws crossed at my house that Miss Honey will be okay!
I have tears in my eyes as I write this as Honey and you, Hsin-Yi have been a (and Paul… OK and Muesli too!) huge positive force in our lives. Daisy’s life has been positively influenced by all that you do and talk about. We just hope that Honey’s pain has subsided and know that whatever happens now will be for the best. We send all our love and thoughts to you all…
Cathy, Bill, Daisy and Nessie and Harley too…
Sweet sweet Honey! Feel better soon! And how scary for Mom and Dad! My heart break for you all! Prayers coming your way!
My heart flipped over when I read this title this morning. We will be praying for Honey today. It is amazing how fast this happens but even more amazing how fast they come back when they feel better. We know that Honey loosing her eye would be terrible but often the patient never knows anything happened. They adjust very quickly.
Please keep us updated. We all love Honey very much!

Oh no. Hopefully they fix her up for you to take home in the morning!
Poor Honey!
We hope she feels better soon. How scary to find such a sudden change in her over night! She is such a vibrant old girl that it is easy to forget she is a Senior citizen and prone to old age ailments.
Keep us updated, she will be in my prayers.
Keeping Honey in our thoughts and sending lots of healing vibes her way. How scary for all of you.

Oh no! We are thinking of you all and hoping that everything goes smoothly today. How scary!
I just read this on facebook and had to come over and say that I’m so, so sorry!!! I know you must be so scared right now, not having any real answers and not having Honey there with you. I know those vets will do everything they can for her.
I’ll keep her in my thoughts and prayers. My boys will have their paws crossed too. Please keep us up to date.
Oh my god!!
Im so sorry to hear that!
I wish you all the best and hope you will be just as happy as before, minus one eye or not..
My bernese mountain dog Baghira had an emergency surgery in january and we also thought we might lose her. She had a major infection in her uterus. But she fought for her life and is the same now, althought she is also a senior doggy now..
Im sure your joy of life will make you fight and we soon will read exciting stories from you.
All the best from Germany
sending love, hope and strength your way
Honey and Hsin-Yi, our paws are tightly crossed for you, and we are sending our very strongest POTP your way. Please keep us updated.

Hello you beautiful ladies. I have been following Honey’s adventures for a long time, but never made a coment.
i am sorry that this is the reason that I am writing this comment, and sincerely hope the next one will be to welcome a happy tail wagging Honey home.
We (Pixie -- my Golden Retriever and I) are sending all good vibes your way.

Dear Honey,
get well soon! So sorry to hear you were in such pain, but hopefully it’s getting better. Loosing eye doesn’t seem as horrible as compared to loosing you, and just hang in there. And you’ll still be breath-taking and elegant sweet girl as we know you. Love you so much! Thinking about you and hope to hear good news soon.
Oh noes! Mason sent us over to give you some POTP and some AireZens! I hope you are better soon Honey. Paws crossed that you don’t loose your eye, but even if you do, your peeps are gonna be soooo very happy they still have your amazin’ face to kiss on! Get better soon, Honey!
Kisses,
Ruby

I am so very sorry to hear that Honey is so ill. I know how helpless it is to see your beloved Honey in the condition you found her in this morning. The waiting is so hard because the mind wanders to places you’d rather not think about. I will make sure to keep all of you in my prayers and hope for the best for Honey.
Dear Honey & family ~ stay strong! Everything will be ok! ;_;

Honey, get well soon, with or without that eye. We are all terribly worried. Sending get well wishes your way.
Mango sent us over. We’re so sorry to hear this but we hope that it’s all fixed by now -- and yes, if it means losing depth of vision, it’s better than the pain or passing. We’re purring for you! Au, Target and Guido, Malaysian cats.
How sad! I wish you all the best! I follow your life since a while. I draw a daily great dane cartoon inspired by my own great dane “Rala” who went over the rainbow bridge last friday -- so I can imagine the shock you caused to youre humans. Please get soon well. I´m looking forward to many more “Honey Adventures”
All the Best
