Roc's been back to the vet and we've to do eye drops 5 times a day now! (Poor guy, he'll have no time to sleep.)

Apparently there is pus in his eye and an ulcer, which ought to be healing, but isn't. The vet said that oral antibiotics or an injection wouldn't do it and it has to be eye drops.

My husband is getting lessons in how to put the eye drops in. (He just phoned from the vet.)

I asked if we could have two bottles this time, as they keep giving us one bottle to use 3 times a day for a fortnight, and then it runs out after 15 drops.)
