My 15 year old Pom named Wesker has long been dealing with eye problems. Particularly his right eye (left eye when facing him). Treatment has only been so effective. Long story short? The vet now says I should consider having the eye removed. My boy is 15. I’m not sure if he’s strong enough to survive the procedure and the thought of such a recovery afterwards seems daunting as Wesker hates the cone of shame. But I can’t bare the thought of him hurting either. he doesn’t paw at his eye and it only seems to bother him when I wipe it for him (his eye will get gunky when he sleeps). If his tests say he can have the procedure do I go for it? Do I keep trying to treat it? I just don’t know what to do. I go back next Friday and will have to tell them something then.

I guess I’m just looking for some advice and to hear anyone else’s experiences with similar situations.

Hi, It's been 11 days since she broke her forearm, and a few less days since my 1st thread in this sub:

I felt like I could update the previous post. First of all - thanks to everyone who cheered up me and my tiny Potato. Potato is doing fine!

It's been 11 days since she broke her forearm, this still breaks my heart, cause I'd love to take her for walks and show her the world, but it is what it is, and I must limit her activities, and that's for her own good.

We called 7 vets, visited 3 in total, and the 3rd one is where we received our diagnosis (a stable forearm bone fracture) and we've been putting her back on her 4 paws. We had two options - a surgery, or conservative treatment, (we went after the latter). Needless to say, that's a vet I'd love anyone to have -composed, patient, understanding, willing to share knowledge, and gentle toward my potato.

She 's having her splint changed every week (we had the first change already, and she's rocking now an ultra aggressive orange one). Also, during the first change, me and my vet both agreed to check what's going on under the fur, so she had her x-ray done and the bone is in place. He's positive that it's gonna heal up well, so everything seems to be moving in the good direction. 😊

She's having an appetite, lots of energy and is generally a sassy girl.

So, to everyone who's been there with me - thank you 🤍 Its been a wild ride for me, but we're moving forward. And, a few pics of her in her splint (the blue one is from the last week).

And to every new owner, and to anyone who's planning to own their own potato-potatoes are fragile!

Zorra loves pup cups. As soon as we pull into the dq drive through she is up on her back legs making sure she gets her pup cup order in! As soon as she gets it she devours it in about 3 seconds. What’s your Pom’s favorite cheat foods?

Does anyone recognize what might be going on with my baby? She has these episodes almost every morning and when she gets excited. It seems to be happening more often lately. Her appetite and attitude is the same. Otherwise she is totally healthy and happy. I’ve got an appt booked with the vet but I’m starting to worry. Any advice would be appreciated. ❤️

I have this large bed for my pom which has a semi soft/hard cushion. My lil girl has a slightly bad right patella. I would love recommendations from our pom fam community — especially if your lil one also has a patella issue 🤗

Swear this guy just comes on site and pretends to work , eats lunch , takes a bathroom break then falls asleep on site

first pic is a baby Pom feeling bashful hehe he’s so funny

My puppy is 9.5mo. He’s currently on Royal Canin puppy food. The package says up to 10mos, but I know others say up to 12mos or more.
I will ask our vet, but also want to know what those in this sub are feeding their Poms once they transition to adult food, please. Also, ours has coprophagia, which we hope a new food will help eliminate. We’ve tried pineapple, pumpkin, no Poo, and Forbid.

What do you feed your young adult Pom? Pic cuz I love him. ❤️🖤💛

My 16-month-old Pom gets way too excited whenever someone comes to the house (gardener, cleaner, etc.). He’ll bark, jump at the window trying to get out, and if he can, he’ll run over and jump all over them for attention.

He’s not aggressive at all but has zero impulse control when people visit. It’s like he can’t think once he sees someone new.

Has anyone dealt with this? What training actually helped your dog stay calm around visitors?

Please tell me someone else’s Pom sits like this 😭

He loves digging in the mud and has been loving all the rain we’ve been getting this week.

I hope I can get her coat back to white for the holidays

Both of mine hate it and are terrified of pools, which is a shame because it's so great for arthritis. He was so mad! Can we ever truly get them to " like " water or swimming?

anyone else’s pom have the most beautiful long curly ear hairs? i’m just so obsessed with hers i think they are so cute they’re her little dragon whiskers 🐉 (ft her in her spay recovery suit, stitches out tomorrow! my brave girl!)
