Update on Mr. Blue Eyes

My blue eyes will be twinkling and sparkling again in no time. And now here is the update on my morning visit. When Mom checked my eye early today, she thought it was looking much better but decided that we would still check with the vet. When she called, they thought it was a good idea to have me come in so they could see what was going on.



So here I am waiting for the big exam. Photos aren't too great because Mom had to use her phone camera.




Mom, are you sure you want to keep waiting? You could just turn the doorknob and we could both beat it out of here.



So then the door opens and the nice doctor and his assistant came in. First he sat down on the floor and talked to me and petted me. I decided he was a nice guy even if he wasn't my regular vet. He looked at my eye, then checked it with a flashlight and a funny gizmo that let him see things very well.



Mom didn't take any pics of him working on me because she didn't want to disturb him. The next thing he did was to put a funny dye in my eye to see if there were any corneal ulcers or scratches on my eye. Thankfully, my eye is doing just fine, no problems with the cornea. He thinks I got bit by some mean insect in a couple of spots. He said it isn't due to allergies and doesn't think it is a scratch.



Now this next part wasn't much fun. I got a SHOT - right in my neck. The nice vet said it was to help bring down all the inflammation in my eye.





AND I have this little tube of ointment that Mom has to put in my eye three times a day for a week. Guess she got off lucky, Thundering Herd - only three times a day and the ointment is supposed to be easier to do than drops. We'll see when she gives it a try this afternoon.



See how much better it is looking. Thanks to all of you for your good wishes and concern.



Aaaahhhh, the best part of my day! When I got home, I got to have a special treat. Here I am waiting patiently for my yummy salmon skin.



Hey, wait a minute - why does SHE get one too?

Woos, Thunder
