Peanut update

The bloody cone finally came off yesterday. Peanut wore that thing for ... let me see ... from July 7 until yesterday, August 15. Usually it would've come off on or around July 26 but with Peanut's history of attacking his eye, I was too paranoid he'd get to it again - even with the cone on. If we hadn't gone out of town I probably would've taken it off sooner, but didn't want Mom and Dad to have to worry about him getting to his eye so just left it on while we were gone.

Since he had an appointment this morning I decided yesterday was a good time to take it off and groom and bathe him. I think he's done ok with it off. The doctor clipped that little finger of the patch that was supplying the blood supply. She said it looked good (although there are a couple of stitches that haven't dissolved completely) and he shouldn't need to be seen again for three months. We still have to continue these damn drops though, and she added the antibiotic drops back 3x a day for four days. I understand why but  ... ugh!! So that's where we are right now - hopefully he will continue to heal and life will get back to normal.
