Buddy's Eye

Buddy came in this morning and his left eye wouldn't open properly. It kind of made him not really open his other eye on the other side either when he was just relaxing, so he looked like the dog with no eyes. 

So it was off to the vet. We've got a new kitten, have I told you that? He looks like a Russian Blue, but he came from the RSPCA, so I doubt that he is a purebred and while he and Buddy get along well, one never really knows what a cat may do with his claws. So it was a nervous walk to the vet.

It turned out that Buddy had a pice of dead leaf, or bark, or some organic material, the size of a match head, stuck to his eye, which has ulcerated his eyeball. Poor him.

He now has 2 different types of drops and 2 different types of antibiotics to be administered for the next week, or so.

He doesn't look happy.
