Will do that! He's still being the bratty little brother to Lucy and Chunk. I keep telling him that is likely how he ended up in this position to begin with! Darn cat! :roll:

BTW...I can see no discernible cloudiness this morning, but he's still dilated so it may not be readily visible to me.

Ok, but might want to give vet a call and ask her opinion on when the dilation should return to normal. (and be sure to finish meds as prescribed)

She told me several days. It's been dilated since Wed afternoon. Still
Dilated but not fully. I don't see any cloudiness at all. Looks crystal clear! Still doing the antibiotic ointment as directed.

Ok, good that the cloudiness is dissipating, but may want a repeat exam just to make sure (maybe next week or so) - the opthalmic exam can see more clearly at the lens and cornea than the naked eye. Thankfully, it sounds like it is resolving!!

I'm taking him back in about a couple weeks to recheck the lipemia. I'll be sure to keep an eye on it and if it looks like it's having issues take him in sooner.

He's being so good about the ointment application!

Yes he has been. He's a good kitty. He's enjoying a bit of leaf watching today.

The eye is clear too!

His eye looks perfectly clear. Last day for the ointment. Of course I'll keep an eye in it.

He LOVES open window season!

Last week it was Doc, this week it was my mom. Just got back from the ER with her. She mistakenly took her evening pills instead of her morning pills and had her BP crash due to too much of one drug in a 24 hour period. She's ok now but I need to reconsider her pill dispensing method. When it rains....
