also, in response to shilohhhhh...
nemo's eye is still HORRID. if anything, i'd even venture a guess that it's worse. lots of cloudy liquid comes out from it, and if you press gently on a certain spot to the side of his tear duct you can see a small thin strand of pus start to come out of the duct.
he has had both his ducts flushed before -- we originally thought it was a birth defect on that side of his face.
not so.
he is now on penicillin shots once a week for 5 weeks (next tuesday is his last shot, i just gave him his 4th one a few hours ago), which he is SUCH a good boy about getting. he also is still on the eyedrops 3x a day nowadays.
the doc says this may just be a chronic infection. i feel like it will never go away...i just can't afford to keep doing this. not only that but the vet is about 1/2 an hour away from us and with gas prices being the way they are....
it's worth it, don't get me wrong. my nimmy is worth anything to me, i love him like he was my own human baby (Actually most babies are icky so probably more than that), and i'm willing to pay the price. i just don't want to think of him as suffering, because he acts perfectly normal. i don't think he's hurting, dr holmes says that he isn't hurting at all.
UGH.
