You know you need to make that appointment. With any ailment, the sooner it is addressed the easier it is to cope with.

The primary vet won't be able to do the eye work, that is why you got the referral. The specialist, if Beenie has to have anesthesia for some reason, may be able to do the dental at that time. I've had specialists do the "regular" stuff. Yes, it will cost more. But everyone is working to limit the number of times the pet has anesthesia.

I would say, for now get to the specialist, and hold off on the dental until you know what is up with the eye.
