My Little Conehead

Poor Beau is back in a cone. Thankfully, it was not due to trauma, but still due to injury. This time it's a corneal ulcer, which is a scary way of saying somehow my dog scratched his eye. I kind of figured he had done something like that since his right eye has watery and kind of puffy for the past week or so. But when it didn't get better on its own, it was time to visit his awesome vet. Since he was there, Dr. Wonderful checked out his left eye as well. Unfortunately, he has developed cataracts. Eventually he will go blind in that eye. I'm not too upset by this news. Our family dachshund Jordi developed cataracts in both eyes and lived for several years after he had gone blind. You just have to refrain from rearranging furniture and leaving shoes and bags out. Beau is going to be fine... assuming he doesn't fall victim to some other injury... bless his little heart!
