Gracie wasn't bleeding but her eyeball was no longer in it's socket! We'll just say that I've never seen anything so disgusting. Thankfully I was our vet's nanny so I called him at home. We rushed straight to the animal hospital where she was examined. She didn't cry or seem irritated. Currey and I were doing enough of that for her! We were told what we feared. It was a freak accident but Shit Zhus are known for having eye problems. They had tested the eye and she had lost all vision. Even worse, it was her "good" eye. When we adopted her she had had 2 surgeries on her other eye. We were assured that she still had vision out of her "bad" eye and would not be completely blind. After discussing our options with the doctor we decided to have the eye removed. I was hysterical and bawled like a baby through most of our time there. She did great in surgery and we brought her home this morning. She's way drugged and at this point looks atrocious. We've laughed that she is such a fighter. Even though she's not 100%, she's showing several of her Gracie behaviors! We believe that she will make a full recovery but it is painful to she her in this state.

We also thought that Blythe would be joining us last night as well. The stress of the evening prompted contractions but once we found out that Gracie would be fine, they stopped. All and all an interesting evening. We are glad that she is safe and hope there is no more excitement in our home until sweet Blythe arrives!
