Looks like we have a vet visit in the offing. When I had the dogs all outside yesterday and they were playing, Elf managed to get his lower eyelid cut (there was so much blood at first that I couldn't see where the wound was and thought his eye had been punctured). I rushed him inside and we got him cleaned up and determined that it was a wee cut on his lower eyelid, it stopped bleeding and didn't need any stitches ... but of course we're keeping a sharp eye on it, and of course it's gotten infected. We'll be cleaning it over and over again today with warm water, to see if it improves at all, and if not, he'll be making a quick visit to the vet.
Very poor timing, of course, as his trial version of insurance from when we adopted him has expired (we weren't going to be continuing with that company) and we don't have insurance set up with Trupanion, so no insurance to cover it yet ... and of course it's before payday so funds are tight.
...Sigh ... oh to be rich enough that I never had to worry about pet emergencies!
Also, there is a memorial to be held in Penticton next Tuesday, for my parent's next door neighbour, who we have known for over 35 years ... which is no only one of my scheduled work days, but the day before payday, so again, I don't think I'll be able to go. I'll have to talk to Maxx about it when he wakes up and see if there's any way for us to make some sort of arrangements if I can get the day off ... and also check with John and Steve to see if they would be going up and if I could catch a lift with them, just worrying about the ferries. As always, we'll have to wait and see.
