It’s been a terrible week!

Boy, what a week. Dad discovered something wrong with my eye last week. I wasn’t too worried, but when he showed it to Mom, she got all worried. So it was a trip to the doctor the next day. I had a hole in my eyeball! Yep, and it was draining fluid out. That’s what dad saw. So, the first doctor tried covering the eye with my third eyelid. They had to put a button on my face to hold the sutures. That wasn’t fun because I had to wear this hood thing and I couldn’t eat, and I couldn’t drink anything. Mom would take it off, and all I wanted to do was get rid of that damn button Oops, sorry, but it made me so mad.
But that didn’t work, and it started to leak again. Mom called the vet and we went in again. She said there was nothing she could do, and suggested another doctor that specializes in working on eyes. So off we went. He is a long way away, and it seemed to take forever. Once we got there, the doctor examined me and made a couple of suggestions. Well, mom and dad decided on his first choice and it was off to surgery for me. They gave me an artificial cornea. Well, actually according to the doctor, he had to put in two of them because the eye is so damaged. Then came that hood again, and we were off to home.
That lasted about two days, and it started to leak again. I hate this. So it was back to the doctor, and he found that some of the stitches had broken. So, he tried a type of glue that was supposed to hold. Well, it did, but other stiches broke and we had to go back again today. I was good, and let him look as much as he wanted to. He decided that we should just wait until Tuesday, and then make the final decision. But the good news is that I don’t have to wear that hood anymore. That’s so cool. Now I can eat and drink without Mom being there.
Sugar!
