She very much deserves to have a special day all to herself. The past few weeks have been a little rough on the poor girl. We got her an eye doctor after seeing some clouds in her eyes. It turns out that her eyes don't close all the way so it makes them dry, leading to discoloration. The girl sleeps with her eyes open half the time, so this wasn't really a shocker. But with daily drops, we can avoid an expensive surgery that would make her eyes close all the way. It would also make her eyes look further apart...no thanks!Anyway, after getting Marti her very own eye specialist, not two weeks later she comes down with a corneal abscess, a super nasty eye infection. She had to get a shot in her eye, take oral antibiotics, get two different eye drops every six hours, and have two follow-up visits. She also had to wear a cone to prevent her from attacking her eye. No one likes this part, but God, is she adorable?
So after almost two weeks of this regimen, one call to the emergency eye vet because her eye started looking much worse before it started getting better, and lots of dollars later, yesterday she got the all-clear, and I can stop worrying myself sick about her.
She's my little angel though, and worth every penny. If she keeps this up, we'll be heading to the doggie chiropractor next:
