Eyes

Trixie and I visited a doggie ophthalmologist today. Everybody there was astonished at her finely-tuned reflexes toward anyone who approached her eyes. "She's like a cat!" they said.

A technician had the job of holding a whiny and wiggly Trixie for a long time while the vet did some tests. Once Trixie was set down on the floor with the freedom to go anywhere, the silly dog trotted right over to the same technician and begged to be picked up! Trixie forgives!

She has corneal edema, and we still don't really know why, but it is not terribly serious, and it is getting better. It might be reversible and it might not, but there are several treatment options available to keep things from progressing. Some of these options are pills, NOT EYE DROPS, and I am thrilled at the prospect.

So, maybe just three more weeks of her current eye drop, in a tapering schedule. It's going to be a long three weeks.
