dog has a serious eye ulcer vet says she should see an eye doc

Remove the eye. Fairly common procedure, the dog will be fine afterwards. Even fully blind dogs can live a mostly normal life.

i remember we had a dog that was fully blind and it lived just fine. i just feel really bad being the guy who lets a dog lose an eye to save money. but i dont even have the money to spend on it. i could maybe put down 1000 but my dad just had two strokes and mom lost her job so im not getting help from them.

Expensive option *might* fix the problem. Cheap option will definitely fix the problem.

if you're still on the fence, don't think about it as doing the cheap option to save money. vet trips and medicating and recovery and all that bullshit is hard on a dog. if removing the eye is faster and easier, then for the sake of your dog, choose to do that.

as >>2378359 says, missing one eye is not detrimental to an animal in captivity. i've known lots of birds with one eye that got along just as fine as you please, and if those feathered fuckoffs can do it, any animal can.

Friends mom has a one eyed dog, it's not as quick as it used to be. They adapt and learn to work with one eye, take their time instead of dashing into something. May hold back on play.

Birds are something else though. Had a chicken get its entire ass end eaten down to the bone by the others. We cleaned the wound and kept disinfecting/bandaging it. Used blukote when it was dry. You couldn't tell that chicken was even touched. No bald spot or anything.
