Eye Oops Follow Up
In case you have been wondering.....Henry's corneal scratch (or should we say "chunk"?) is healing. It has indeed been a slow process. A process which has required several more trips back to the vet for follow up. (We had to be sure it was indeed healing and that is not something we can spy with our own naked eye.) The good news is, so far, we have not needed to venture beyond our own general vet. If we had to make these frequent trips to our eye specialist it would have been bad news. (Seriously, who can take 4 hours a day off every other day for 2 weeks without suffering some recourse at work?) So, we have been lucky that Henry is healing his Henry way: slow & steady. The way he does everything. But it has worked for him this long. So, why change now?
Henry will keep healing and we will keep dosing him and hopefully it will all be fine again soon. (I doubt night trips with his head out the car window are vet approved or good for his healing.) But they are more good for his mental health and that is what we need even more than a quick healing eye these days. So, we gotta take what we can get and sometimes that means making trade offs.

Glad to hear Henry’s eye is healing. He sits up so proud in this picture.
You are right, sometimes there have to be trade offs, and if Henry’s head out the window helps his mental health, well that’s the way it is.
