OH, POOR PHELIX! And poor you! It's awful to feel guilty so don't
do that!

Phelix was taking care of me today because I home and not feeling
well. He's always by my side and took a nap with me. He's the one
with allergies that was born with only one eye. He's been
scratching a lot lately and I woke up and looked at him and he
couldn't open his eye! And there was blood. I nearly panicked.
I didn't care how bad I felt - I was getting that boy to the doctor.
By the time we got there - he was looking a lot better and looking
around - no bleeding - but I was so worried and I really need to
protect his one good eye. They examined it and put drops in and
looked to make sure he hadn't scratched his cornea. They also
checked his ears - they look good...and checked for fleas (he
doesn't have any).
The vet thinks that when Phelix was scratching, his dew claw caught
his eye and ripped through the bottom eyelid. They trimmed those
for me and gave him a steroid shot because he's really been itchy
lately (his tummy is bald but his ears have really been itchy).
They gave him some salve for me to use in his eye 2-3 times a day
-- it just says 'BNP-HC ophth. ointment'. It has an antibiotic and
a steroid in it. Since Phelix's ears are so itchy, we're going to
do the tresoderm a few days too just to be extra sure.
I feel bad because I'm not very good about keeping toenails
trimmed....but I sure will from now on! Thank goodness I was home
when that happened. It looks much, much better now and Phelix
keeps telling me it was no big deal.
Just thought I'd pass that along in case it would help someone else.
Phelix thinks it is his god-given right to go outside everyday when
I get home and roll in the lavender. He'll let me know if I'm not
fast enough letting him out. Today when I took him in the girls
kept saying --- Phelix smells like lavender!! :0) He's such a
ladies man.
All good thoughts to you and your fur babies.
