Poor Mini Sue.....
Mini Sue had to go to the vet today. I had noticed over the weekend that she was keeping her left eye partially shut. I thought that in a few days whatever was wrong would clear up. Yesterday my husband noticed her wiping at it with her paw. Sometimes it looked okay and other times it didn't. So I made an appointment for today.
First the vet put a numbing drop in her eye so she could look at it. Then she put another drop of something that would show if there was a scratch or something. Sure enough, it showed a green spot on her eye and that meant there was a scratch on her cornea. She gave me drops for pain and a prescription for an antibiotic drop, plus a lubricant. So I have to put these 3 drops in her eye every 6 hours for a week.
I feel so bad for her because I know how irritating and painful it is to have a scratch on your cornea. It's bad enough to just get something in your eye that you can't get out.
I told the vet that she needed a patch and she can be a pirate for halloween!

The gutter guy finally came today. We had one of those gutter toppers put on the back of our house years ago because we have a 2-storey house and it's a pain for hubby to get up there to clean the gutters. So with one of these brilliant gutter toppers, you should never have to clean gutters again! Last spring, my husband noticed that it was clogged up with crap and the water was pouring down our house and on top of our family room roof. He called the company...talked to someone who said that someone would be out to look at it. Then we never heard from them. Hubby kept calling and leaving messages but no one called back. Then a couple weeks ago, we get a letter from them telling us that due to a computer glitch they don't know what jobs have been serviced and what jobs still needed servicing and for us to call them. So today we finally got someone out here. Apparently the end cap had come loose or something and a bird had built a nest inside. It was full of nesting crap and pine needles. The guy cleaned out two bags of stuff and he said that it was the worst he has seen and had to clean. Apparently, they have cleaned out these gutter toppers before. I thought that was the point....you don't have to clean out your gutters. Anyway, he put a new end cap on and fixed something else. It was part of the guarantee and it didn't cost us anything....! Wow, finally something that didn't cost us......
