So Mingo was due for his annual checkup this week. He had been having some discharge from his right eye that looked like pus, so I brought that to the vet's attention. She checked him under a fluorescent light and it turned out his eye was scratched. It probably came from wrestling with Lily.
The vet gave me some ointment to put in his eye, but didn't tell me how I was going to do that. Now Mingo doesn't like to be "caught" and will turn feral if I catch him. He had to be sedated for the vet exam. There wasn't time to ask as the office was busy. I've been putting him in a pillowcase with his head sticking out, but he wouldn't let me near that eye. Sure, go ahead and stab me in my sore eye with that sharp, shiny thing. The ointment ends up being smeared all over his face.
It's supposed to be applied three times a day for ten days. I'm at my wit's end.
