OK, first off, I made an appointment for the WRONG BRANCH. Brownie had to see the vet regarding this eye infection he had for the last week or 2 which was strangely refractory to polymyxin B and tetracycline ophthalmic ointment, so off he went to see his least-favourite person in the world tonight.
I must say again, VETS ARE AMAZING. If you know of Brownie's temperament, you might be surprised to know that the vet managed to:
1) Instill flourescein into his eye
2) Do a fundoscopy on him - yes, fundoscopy. Yx, xw and I almost wet ourselves seeing the vet put her face within 3 inches of a growling doggie who won't think twice about biting her nose right off
3) Give him an injection - i.m. of course. Intraocular would be way too much to ask for.
Anyway, he doesn't have any corneal ulcer. I'm inclined to think it's a corneal abscess actually. In any case, he went home with a hydrocort injection, a tube of gentamycin (!!!) ointment and his usual unfit-for-work-stay-at-home-and-laze MC.
The moment he came out of the clinic, he started being his usual naughtiness again - pouncing on the counter trying to get at this 10-cm long kitten, scrambling all over in the car, and gobbling his fried chicken livers right now.
Oh crap. The gentamycin ointment dosing is a 1cm strip to conjunctival sac to right eye, three times daily. Omg .. how to give three times a day? =( Think probably try to do at 6am, 6pm and 12 mdnight.
