Fifteen-week-old Chloe has glaucoma and may be losing an eye this morning during surgery. She was given eye drops on Wednesday. It became a waiting game on Thursday. But on Friday, there was no improvement. There’s not much of an option left for the little Chihuahua.

HEALTH HAPPENINGS

Dear Dr. Donohue: I haven't seen you write about my condition, reflex sympathetic dystrophy. I sprained my ankle about five months ago. I took care of it myself, but the pain didn't go and it got worse. I finally saw a doctor, who said I had reflex sympathetic dystrophy, and he told me to take Advil for it. It helps some, but how long does this last? I have to use crutches.
