That's worrying to hear. I've got my paws crossed for you (and him)

Hoping for the best for you and the dog, DJ x

Paws crossed indeed.
We had our first emergency trip to the vets last night - probable bee sting but the little fella started limping, swelled up and went very floppy and we panicked. Didn't need that £115 anyway.
Feel a little guilty actually - the daughter gets stung about three times a year and all she gets is tears wiped away and a pat on the back.

My boy lost an eye a few years ago, a small scratch turned into a melting ulcer and the eye got eaten away by bacteria. Yesterday my partner noticed the boy had a weepy eye. So we immediately went to the vet and he had two ulcers on his remaining eye. We had to ask the vet to make a plasma - usually this is reserved for further down the line in eye treatment but we can’t gamble with this eye as there is no backup.
24 hours of 2 medications that have to be delivered at four hour intervals (but can’t be administered at the same time) and I had to return him to the vet, ulcers appear to be clearing so four more days of interrupted sleep ahead.
Fingers crossed, I fucking adore the one eyed idiot. He is the most enthusiastic creature, everything is always new, and exciting. All the time! Everything is done with maximum velocity and glee. He lives in the moment, with no guile, cunning or cynicism. I have an utterly mercenary manipulative bitch who I love for different reasons, but the boy is my constant reminder that life is full of wonder, novelty and innocence.
