Eye Ulcer

Last Wednesday, I noticed that Mocha's eye was red, partially closed, and watery.  I took her to the vet, and she was diagnosed with an ulcer.  The vet said she would treat it as a traumatic injury, and gave us some eye drops and pain meds.  If it didn't clear up in 3-5 days, other scenarios would be considered.

Well, today I took her back in for a re-check, and her eye is all better!  She hated getting the drops, but they worked.  And the pain meds were always accompanied by peanut butter, so they were something to look forward to.

She was good at the vet today.  We had to wait a while, and she spent her time observing the other dogs in the waiting room.  She got very relaxed and was lying on her side for a while. 

Now she's home and here she is, eye all better:

After the vet and before coming home, we went to the trail for a walk.  We went to a different part of the trail than we usually go to, and there were lots of new smells, sights, and sounds.  We didn't see any other dogs.  Mocha is now cozy and taking her afternoon nap.
