I took Buddy to see the vet yesterday and it seems that dashing straight through the shrubbery at full tilt in pursuit of a fox the night before has caused another corneal ulcer. The vet tells me this one is very superficial so I’m hoping it will heal much more quickly than the last one which dragged on for months.
Now he has to wear the cone of shame when he goes out to protect his eye from further damage and to deter him from rampaging head first into hedges and bushes. To add insult to injury I made him wear a raincoat tonight.
Also got antibiotics so made he a little supper to mix them with.
She is a bit whiny but not even attempted to lick the area so far.
I thought I had a cone but can’t seem to find it.
This is sister / niece’s pointer cross Pepper in the strides of shame (cat motifs). She’d gashed herself (again!) chasing a ball. Healing up well, I hear.
I still remember an interview between Kerrang! and Lee “Scratch” Perry in the early 80s, describing him as wearing a “terrifying” (24" flared) “pair of strides”
