Daisy's Fate...My Dilemma

I left off by telling of the account of Daisy's eye, and where once again her eye had started gushing huge amounts of blood;

So I looked at her eye, and I said 'O boy", I knew I had problems here.....I put the cloth hard against her eyeball and once again applied very hard pressure, it hurt her, but she withstood the pain, seemingly knowing I was helping her.

Not only was it awful that this was happening, but what was worse, was little Daisy girl's pathetic wondering; Why couldn't she see? Daisy Girl kept waving her little paw in front of her bloody eye, while making a very pathetic little mewing sound, my heart was breaking for her, she was truly very sacred.

The entire time that I am administering to Daisy Girl, right next to me, watching my every move and staying as close as he could, was sweet Pink Pinkerton. His concern for Daisy Girl was palpable, he was right there with me the entire time, trying to help and assure the little Daisy Girl, by giving her loving nudges and getting as close to her as he possible could.

It was amazing to watch the two in this situation, she looked to him for help, and he was there for her by comforting her and providing her a safe haven. Never before have I ever seen two dogs connected as these two siblings are to one another.

This is where I came to the Y in the fork of the road and my dilemma began. I love this little dog, her and Pinky mean the world to me. Here I was, in a situation that my first impulse was to get her to the Vet....

But this would be in direct conflict with what I do each and every day.

My website pawhealer.com sells Chinese herbal formulas to dogs and cats that are very sick. I tell my pet loving customers that I stand by these herbal formulas, and because of this, they put their trust into me, they believe me when I tell them that herbals are in fact something that work as well, if not better, than most western medicine solutions.

That being said, I knew that if I could determine for a fact that her eyeball was not poked out, and not punctured, and did not need surgery, I could handle the situation with my own very powerful herbs.

Because if one remembers history, the Chinese were a warring nation, and eye lacerations were a common occurrence, so clearly, I could find an herbal solution for Daisy Girls wounded eye, if the Chinese could do it, so could I!

I then set myself on a mission to determine if her eye was intact. After a few minutes of applying pressure, I was able to get a glimpse of her eye, and I found the the color to be good and there was not any evidence of clear fluids. I then made the decision that her eye itself was not injured because the blood appeared to be coming from inside the lower lid.

By then she was curled up against Pinky, and she was hunkered down and could barley keep her eyes open. I think she was in a state of mild shock, but she was responsive, so I decided that I would watch over through the night and let her sleep. It was a very restless night for me, but every time I checked her, she was sleeping a normal sleep.

When we woke up the next morning, her eye of course was swollen shut. I once again examined her eye and pried it open, and I could see that the eye itself was fine, but the tissue around the eye was in pretty bad shape.

I then got up... went over to my extensive herbal pharmacy and picked out an herbal formula called Gu Die Shang Wan (The Great Mender). This is a formula that is used for trauma. I got the little tea pills down her throat with very little problem, and then I waited.

Within one hour the swelling was completely down, her eye had opened, and she was walking around the house.

Here is Daisy to show you herself;
