To the Eye Doc We Go
On Friday, Luna went back for her second check-up to make sure the obstructed gland in her eyelid continued to heal.
When we arrived, Luna checked herself in and then chatted up a dog in the waiting room.
It was her turn before we knew it and Luna was a very good girl while her eyes were being examined. Here she is getting a Schirmer Tear Test.
Her tear production was fantastic. She measured 18 mm/60s in one eye and 20 mm/60s in the other eye. This is so much better than several years ago when her one eye wouldn't even register. Also, the extra eye drops we have been giving her cleared up the blockage in the gland in her eyelid. So it was a great report for the lucky girl.
The reward for such a great report? Luna doesn't have to go back for a check-up until January of 2010! Yay!
After all the good news, Luna slept soundly on the way home.

Luna, this is wonderful news!!! You and your Schirmer test pics bring memories of my Baxter having the same…He, too, has low tear production.
What a great report! Now I think you need a special treat to celebrate!
