Well, the pupper's eye procedure wasn't so successful after all. Everything looked good when the stitches (and button) came out last Saturday (as reported earlier) but it was like a slow motion train wreck since, I could tell by the end of the week something was going the wrong way, culminating in an emergency run this morning to our Vet. (I had planned last night on calling today to see if I could get her in on Monday but things changed quickly as soon I woke up). Poor baby. Great vet and staff, got to her as soon as possible. Two more serious emergencies (accidents) arrived ahead of us with only one vet. Reinforcements were called in. The pup developed Anterior Uveitis. The deep cataract is believed to be initially at fault, most likely causing (worse case scenario) a lens protein leak into the eye fluid. The pressure build up in the eye because of the AU caused the healed ulcerated cornea (the reason for the original surgery) to once again detach. 
Anyway, long story short, the sight in that eye is pretty much toast. AU is extremely painful so the goal now is to relieve the pain, head off any infection and reduce the pressure in the eye ball. The final result will either be blind in that eye but comfortable or the eye will need to be removed and then she will be comfortable. We should have a better handle on the final prognosis on Monday when we go back in to recheck the eye pressure.
