Healing....

Here is a very fine montage of photos of my owie eye. Well, fine when you consider the photographer.

You will notice that there is still slight swelling on the top of the eyelid, but it is very much improved, and it has stopped making yucko crusty stuff.

When we saw my DogTor, she said that we should be seeing improvement by the end of this week, which just shows that I am still superior to most dogs, even in my dotage.

She said there was no evidence of a bite from another animal (thus letting Teka off the hook) but that it might have been a spider, or I might have rubbed or scraped it against something, and then irritated it with my (filthy) paw. Muzzer is leaning toward the rubbed or scraped option, since I am still in the process of discovering my inner terrier, and have done more digging and squirming this summer than I remember ever doing before. Lots of good sniffs in this Mayemphis dirt.

Teka has been a pretty good nursie, though she can't figure out how to get her hat on. If she tries again, we will take pictures.

The only difficulty we have had is that she wants to grab Muzzer's cough drops out of muzzer's mouth, which gets muzzer coughing lots, and then the cough drop has been known to eject from Muzzer's mouth, and most of the time, I SCORE! because Teka is still up by the mouth and the cough drop is by the feet.

Muzzer is trying to learn to cough with her teeth clenched, because cough drops are not for puppies, but that is a whole other comedy routine.
