Dougy doesn’t cooperate by facing the camera, but this gives you some idea (from yesterday) of the healing progress of his eye. He does hold it open all the way now (Sunday), and continues to be a good boy when it comes time for his medication.
The area around the eye looks a bit rough because of the antibiotic gel that gets on it. Dougy seems to understand the medication is good for him, which makes me think his eye feels better after I put it in his eye. He has five more treatments.
I think Dougy deserves some fresh nip leaves as a treat for putting up with the goopy drops.
No fresh ‘nip at the moment, but I did buy the kitty boys some high quality ‘nip that does the job.
Glad Dougy is doing well.
Me, too. It’s always stressful when a pet is ill.
Good boy, Dougy! Proud of you!
He’s been a good kitty, even showing up at the right places at the right time so I don’t have to chase him around to medicate him. I did have one day he got under the guest bedroom bed twice that day, but I have a long walking stick from my birding (twitching) days that is an efficacious cat extraction tool! LOL!
“An efficacious cat extraction tool!” I like it, Doug! Hehe!
Good to hear that Dougie’s getting better.
It always is a happy time for both cat and human when that eye starts to heal, Correne! Thanks!
So glad Dougie’s eye is doing better! And also that the process of applying the medicine to the kitty is going smoothly!
Dougy is a good little patient, though he does try to hold the infected eye tightly closed when it’s medicine application time! (I just spread it open with my thumb and index finger.)
Very happy to know that 🙂
Thanks! Me, too! I hate to see him suffer.
Wow Doug, Dougy’s eye is already looking much better, yay!! 😻
It’s encouraging how fast the antibiotic works, John. I hate to see him deal with these reoccurring infections, but it is his fate to have them periodically. He will have them all this life.
Good to see Dougy feeling better!
Yes, it is stressful to see him suffer these eye issues, but he will have them all his life. I know what to do, at least, when they occur.
Happy to hear of the progress, Doug. Thank you.
The treatments are nearly done, then it’s another trip to see Dr. Y. to verify the infections’s been dealt with. Poor Dougy will have these infections periodically as long as he lives.
