So we got up this morning and Alley couldn't open her eyes. When I would pull them open, her third eyelid wasn't retracting. Her eyes seemed more sunken than normal as well. Off to the vet we go. She has conjunctivitis, which is basically an eye infection. After two rounds of antibiotic eye drops, her eyes are completely open again. They are a little red and runny, but SO much better. It scared me though, I was afraid she had cataracts or something.

Know it well. Isn't it great to be the mother of a dog. Now you fit in my bracket.

Tell her not to stick her paw in her eye! I'm glad it was something very fixable:)
We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare, and the love we can spare. And, in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made.
