Everyday Randomness

Back To The Vet

Bubba pretty much slept all day with me, and when I woke up at 4pm I noticed both of his eyes were covered in serious goo.  They were so bad I had to use a washcloth to remove the goo before he could open one of the eyes.  He’s already on eye medications for some pretty nasty eye allergies, but I’ve never seen it this bad.  It scared me because my first thought was pink eye.

I freaked out because the vet closes at 5, and I didn’t have time to get him down there, so I called the vet.  I just really wanted to make sure it wasn’t something else other than the normal allergies acting up since they’ve never been this bad before.

I took a photo and sent it to him while I was on the phone, and he confirmed it’s not pink eye.  It’s definitely his allergies bothering him.  Since we can’t get a full diagnosis that way (and I wouldn’t want to!), he’s going to the vet in the morning, but the vet went ahead and called in a prescription for some eye drops to start using tonight.

Poor puppy.  I can tell he doesn’t feel well.  He’s only been awake about 2 hours, but he’s been moping around.  Allergies are horrible right now for anybody though, humans and pets.  I can’t wait until allergy season is out of here…at least for the one’s my household suffers from.
