Huey's Vet Visit

Mom and Dad took Huey to the vet today. The main purpose of the visit was to check Huey's eyes out because they look cloudy and sunken in. The vet confirmed that Huey is blind, just like we all suspected. The vet also said that there is inflammation in his eyes. He stated that Huey is not in any pain and that it may have been uncomfortable in the beginning. Huey's eyes had brown spots in them since he could open his eyes. As time has gone by they have become cloudy and sunken looking. The vet said that Huey's eyes are drying up and that eventually they will shrink to the point that they will disappear. As horrible as that sounds, it's not that bad. The vet said there was nothing that could be done at this point. Mom and Dad are supposed to watch Huey for an eye infection. If all goes 'normally', Huey's eyes will close up on their own when his eyes have completely dried up and basically, disappear. Mom and Dad need to keep a close eye on him. If they notice any discharge coming from his eye they will have to take him back to the vet to have his eyes removed. Discharge = Infection.

If you click on some of the photos to enlarge them you can see the cloudy spot in his eye. Both eyes are the same.

On a side note, it looks like Huey has a skin infection too. He was treated with Revolution at the vet's office for possible mites and mom and dad need to give him Baytril for 12 days. We're all super concerned and hoping he does not have any adverse reactions to the antibiotics. Mom brought some Revolution home and treated me and Horatio too, just in case!

Quills crossed that my little boy gets all better!!
