Irie's latest ailment is a scratched left eyeball. I have no idea how she did it, but all day the left side of her face has been drenched from her eye watering and it's all puffy and swollen. Not the most attractive. I took her to the vet this afternoon and they did all kinds of cool things to figure out what was going on. The best was squirting some fluorescent green goo into her eye and then turning out the lights to see if there was a scratch. It worked amazingly well and has also left Irie oozing green eye goo. It would be a particularly cool effect for halloween. I'll have to remember it.
Anyway, now we're on a pain killer/eye ointment regiment. In theory it should resolve itself in a few days. It's so sad to look at her right now though. She just looks pathetic. When we got home from the vet tonight she jumped up on the couch and promptly fell asleep. Very un-Irie. I had to go give a presentation for work in the 'burbs so I had to wake her up and move her to her crate. Nothing sadder than putting a sad, sleepy dog in her crate. She just looks at you with those weepy eyes.... She seems in pretty good spirits now though. Second wind, I guess.
