Elf came down with another bout of cherry eye today, and it got so bad I was thinking we were going to have to rush him in to the vet tomorrow at lunch, but the third eyelid has once again slipped back into place and he looks normal once more.
Poor wee bugger. It doesn't happen all that often, but when it does it just looks so very painful! When we have him in at the vets next I'll have to remember to mention it and get their recommendations about surgery, whether they think it would be a good thing and how much it would be. I believe it's just a stitch or two to keep the third lid in place, but he'd have to have it done on both eyes (as both have popped out at different times).
He's now snuggled down under the covers waiting for me to come to bed, with the other three dogs on top of the covers, so I'm signing off for the night.
