Double trouble

So, in a strange turn of events, I discovered today that Pippin and I have the same cream for our poorly eyes!

Not sure why, but I think there is something quite cute about that.

Pippin still has conjunctivitis, poor thing, and one of the antibiotics they tried her on a few weeks ago was this Fucithalmic stuff.

We took her back to the vet today, and brought along all the different things she's had since she got it and, when my Mum took them out of the bag and the vet read out what they were to himself I went "Oh, I've just been given that for MY eye!"

I ended up in A&E last night, you see. Was quite worried, but they gave me some cream and said to come back to the eye clinic in the morning for an eye specialist to check it over.

So back I went, having been unable to use the cream they gave me cos it wouldn't stay in my eye as was too hard and wouldn't dissolve and just made my eye hurt.

Probably not helped by the fact that I was pretty tired having not got back from the hospital until around half three in the morning!

They said it's nothing to worry about though - just that the top layer of skin on my eyeball has peeled away leaving it exposed and raw, which is why it hurts. But apparently it should fix itself quite quickly, so that's a relief.

Anyway, they gave me this replacement cream to try, and it turned out to be one that Pippin had tried!

Mine's the one on the right. Her's is the one on the left. It didn't seem to work for her, but hopefully it'll make sure my eye doesn't get infected or anything.

She's back on one of her other creams now to give it another go. We're to go back in a week, and hopefully it'll have got rid of it by then once and for all! She is so good natured though and never complains. I can't believe how lovely she is. You just see her rubbing her eye a bit every so often, and then licking her paw and rubbing her eye again to soothe it.
