PLEASE MAKE SURE TO READ THIS ENTIRE POST - THERE IS IMPORTANT DATED INFORMATION AT THE BOTTOM!!!!!
Tuesday did not produce the ERG results that we were hoping for.
Marley's retinas are not functioning on a level that would result in any real benefit through surgery. The risks of putting Marley under anesthesia again outweigh any benefit that he *might* gain from removing the cataracts.
I know....I spent hours just laying around with him and apologizing to him and wishing the news was better. Tuesday was a hard day.
BUT
Every cloud has a silver lining and I take comfort knowing that Marley is a very happy dog. He is well adjusted, loves people, loves animals (once they learn to stop sneaking up on him), and loves kids. He is healthy as can be - all of his other testing came back WONDERFUL... and he is loved by all who cross his path.

set your DVRs/VCRs/DVDs or whatever you use
MARLEY IS GONNA BE A STAR!!!
Tune into the CBS Early show tomorrow (FRIDAY AUG 14) at 7:00 a.m. (EASTERN) to see Marley as part of the Purina Rally to Rescue segment.

Can someone You tube this and post link on here???? I will be working and will miss it. So sorry testing wasnt a success - but he looks great otherwise and he sounds like he's doing good. Poor boy has had a tough road and glad he is with people who understand him... I had all the patience and love, just neighbors that complained to the dog catcher all the time :(
ReplyDeleteAs we talked about, our hearts are sad for marley's ERG results.....BUT, he is truly a blessing! He is a wonderful Weim and such a loving, gentle soul! I continue to tell everyone I meet about him and tell them to tell his story, with hopes that someone will come forward and welcome him to his forever home! The kids were sad to hear the news but seeing him with Jamielynn & Juie this morning on the TV made them so very happy!!!
