    Peej's eye doctor appt.

    Peej went to the eye doctor this morning and for once, he got a good report. His eye is as stable as it can be and while he's only got about 50% of his vision left in it, it's still responsive to light which is a good sign, and he's down to only one drop of pred. acetate once a day. At least for now, there's no talk of removing his eye. He's doing so well, that his doctor doesn't want to see him again until February.

    Oh thank goodness.
    I always think about your Peej and how hard it must be to have him lose his sight in that eye.
    I hope for the best!

    I am glad to hear that the appointment went so well. Fingers crossed that he will remain the same.
    You mentioned that he only needs his eye drops once a day now. I assume from that it was twice before. How was he with that, was it easy to give it to him?

    When his eye was at its worst, he was taking his eye drops 4 times a day. I keep his eye drops right next to the cat food bowl, so right after he takes a drop, if he's good, he gets some cat food. His regular vet said as long as he doesn't get too much cat food, it's ok as a treat and he likes it, so why not?

    He's really good about his eye drop. He used to sit with his back to me so I couldn't reach his eye, but he's really good now. He knows I don't give up.

    I always think about your Peej and how hard it must be to have him lose his sight in that eye.
    He handles it much better than I do. It makes me sad when we play with the laser and he can't see it on his left side. But, he doesn't care and as long as he doesn't hit his head on the wall when he turns to chase it, he still has a good time.

    It's really nice to have some good news for a change. Thanks for the nice comments about my boy, everyone.
