Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

We had an unexpected meibomian cyst rupture in Meatys eye on Friday on the way out to the country. Luckily my amazing new vet squeezed us in (5:00 on a Friday night.) He’s ok, but putting gel antibiotics on his eyeball twice a day with a pointy metal tube has been a challenge & a drag. Poor guy.

Why must you use a pointy metal tube?



I would be having coniptions!

Our dog must be getting... blind? Deaf? Something? He has started having "i am terrified" episodes where he is impressively shaking and wants to crawl onto a lap. Poor dog!

And... our cockatiel died... we knew it was coming. She started having trouble breathing ... not sure why it started up. But putting her in a warmer location, various supportive care, didn't help. So... I knew she was dying, everyone was warned.

But she wasn't that old... not that we remember exactly... but older than 5, younger than 10.

Anyway.

Ugh! Suck! I’m sorry! Was that the one you had or the one you just adopted?

Yeah the metal tip… on the eyeball. Are they TRYING to make me poke this dogs eye out.

Meaty is on the spectrum, so sometimes he’s very chill to the point of oblivious other times I think I’ll need a doggy straight jacket to dose him.

How about washing your hands well, applying medication to a forefinger and gently applying it that way?

You’re a genius. Thanks, I’ll try it.

I guess I should’ve thought of that, but sometimes you’re too close to a situation to see the obvious.

Can I have that in writing? Hey, remember that I'm the kid who couldn't read in third grade.

I was told to use my finger.

Reading is overrated.

Clearly I can't read. Or type.
