| Maximo's eye again Maximo's corneal ulcer is back. Looks like it didn't heal correctly. I caught it right away and got him to the doctor immediately. The doctor is giving him one week on antibiotics and if the eye doesn't look perfect, Max will have grid keratotomy, scratching of the cornea to stimulate proper healing. No getting out of it this time. The ulcer is very, very superficial, which is good news. This is going to be another long week. No walks, no playing. It's hard balancing protecting Max while keeping Teddy happy.

| Kristin, I'm so sorry you and Maximo have to deal with this again. Any idea why it's not healing correctly? Is there something that is preventing it from healing? (wind, foreign objects, shampoo, etc). I hope this can be the end this time. In the meantime, I wouldn't worry so much about making Teddy happy. He'll be ok.

| Oh noooo. I'm so sorry. Hopefully it will heal quickly. You are such a dedicated owner watching those eyeballs and getting him to the vet at the first sign of an issue recurring. He is lucky to have you.

| I am so, so sorry Kristin. I always think of you and Maximo. He is in the best of care in your loving arms, and I am confident his eye will heal. I just wish you both didn't have to go through this again. Please know how much I care and wish that your beautiful boy heals very soon.

| I just read the subject and said NO! aloud. I hope the antibiotics will get him cleared up before the end of the week, and he can heal up quickly and properly this time without surgery. He's so lucky to have a mom who is paying such close attention to him. So glad you caught it early.

| Poor Maximo. I'm sorry you are having to go through all of this again. Max (and Teddy!) are so lucky to have an attentive mommy. I'll be thinking of you and my favorite long-haired boys.
