A Dread Not Warrented
Woman in the Middle | June 26, 2016Blackie has continued to stay at his slightly perkier level we are happy to report. However, he has now developed an infection on one of his eyes. Seriously, if it isn’t one thing it is another with that cat! The vet gave us drops to put in his eyes twice a day. Lord help us! Drops in the eyes of a cat? I couldn’t imagine what we would have to go through to make that happen.
Hubby and I were home alone when the first drops had to be administered, because of the previously mentioned Disneyland trip the girls were on. I got the bottle of eye drops out and ready. The directions said to put one to two drops in both eyes. I told Hubby if we managed to get one drop in the infected eye I would feel we accomplished something. I picked up Blackie and handed him to Hubby. Hubby got him in position and I approached with the bottle. I dropped one drop in the bad eye. Blackie could have cared less. I decided to put another drop in the bad eye. Still no reaction. Hubby said, “Want to to do the other eye while we are at it? “Might as well,” I replied. Two drops there as well. Still nothing from Blackie to indicate anything even happened.
All that worry and dread for nothing. Oh Blackie, you do like to keep us guessing!
This is how relaxed Blackie was about his eye drops.
Maybe it felt better with the drops. As he got older Jake was much easier to medicate. In his youth I would end up with scars!
Blackie’s ho hum teaction to the eye drops is amazing!
I was pretty darn amazed!!!
I’m so happy that he let you give him the drops!
