[Dailydrool] Hal E Bear needs drool & Sara Sue update

[Vikki Kiehl]

This morning after I fixed breakfast for the hounds I saw that Hal had
rubbed his left eye so much that he couldn't open it, again.  He had a small
injury in august & we did all the drops etc.  It's bothered him a couple
more times since then & I've taken him in & treated it.  Last month he
rubbed so much that I had to use atropine to keep it dilated because it
started spasming, also had antibiotics & oral pred. Last wednesday vet
looked at it again because it had started bothering him, no corneal abrasian
so used antibiotic steroid drops.  This morning, another trip to the vet &
both drs looked at him.  Now on antibiotic drops (4x/day), flurbiprophen
drops - nonsteroidal (3x/day), & atropine drops (1-2x/day).  We go back weds
morning for a recheck (and Spencer is having a dental & xrays for arthritis
at that time ackkkkk!)  Hal now has an appt with the eye specialist Nov.
3rd, which is pretty good considering they have a 2month waiting list.  Eye
dr said it was urgent & moved him to the front of the list.  Tonight he can
barely open his eye, which is better than it was this morning.  I spent
4hours waiting for pharmacy to fill the anti-inflammatory drops so the poor
baby spent all day... <sigh>  And he had sooooo much fun yesterday at the
howl-o-ween party!  He was Robin Hood, & we only had to hunt down his hat
twice!
Some good news, Sara Sue's ear seems to be healing.  While I had Hal at the
vet I brought a swab from Sara & said "Is this how it's supposed to look?"
Vet said yup is right on track.  I gave her the blue power recipe in case
icky sticky ooey gooey treatment doesn't work.
So, between Sara's ear, Hal's eyes, Spencer's dental & xrays...
<wringing purse to get out last drop> maybe I need drool for money! <g>
Anyway, if you could spare some drool for Hal I'd really appreciate it.
