Oh, such wonderful news! He looks fantastic! Keep up the regimen. Of course he doesn’t like it, but he doesn’t know it’s good for him. It appears his eyes will be normal — no damage. Is it too early to determine if he can see and find or follow something?

I do know that kittens need low light for a few days after their eyes open. They do not see 100% clearly immediately, and if he’s still getting terramycin treatments, things will be fuzzy with the goop in his eyes.

Great news though!
