UPDATE on Buddy's eye.

Apparently, the vet who said that Buddy had cataracts, was WRONG!! WRONG!! WRONG!!
Needless to say, that we will NOT be seeing that vet again.

Today we saw the head vet at the clinic and Buddy has an ulcer on his eye due to an infection that did not heal up properly. If he was diagnosed RIGHT the first time, this would NOT have happened.
He has two different eye drops, 3 drops to be given from each bottle, 3 times a day and he is to go back in 2 weeks to have his eye checked again.
He does have a little cataract starting in his right eye though, due to his age. He is 15 years old now. Apart from that, he is in reasonably good health.

Here's a sweet picture of our Buddy taken in March.


Thank you to all who made some very nice comments on My Buds in the first thread.

Oh Buddy, you're so cute. I hope your eye gets better soon.

Yay Buddy! Glad to hear that it's not cataracts that need to have surgery. Let Mom put those drops in your eyes and you'll be good as new.

Whew, at least now he'll be treated for the problem! Hope you heal up quickly, little man!
