| Oliver's Third Checkup Well we brought Oliver for his 3rd check up and the vet says he is doing great. He did say Oliver has another cataract on his other eye which eventually is going to need surgery. He said it could take a year for it to come up but to just keep watching him. He warned us that when we take him to be groomed he has to be hand dried and not cage dried. He said this was vital because the cage dryer will dry out his eye. I love our groomer but now I'm a bit worried. The most important thing is that Oliver is back to himself again He only needs one eye drop three times a day for the next ten days and then twice a day. |

| I didn't even know that there was a such thing as a cage dryer. wow! Well, just give this info to your groomer. If you like your groomer, they will surely ensure to hand dry Oliver for you Praying that his cataract stays under control for a long time. Happy to hear his check up went so well!

| I'm so glad Oliver had a good checkup. He's been in my thoughts. My Phoebe goes for her one week check up tommorow & her stitches will be removed. I'm anxious to hear what the vet thinks of her progress so far. I was also hoping that the meds would be cut down tommorow, but I guess not lol! I was surprised to hear that Oliver has a cataract in the his other eye. Did you suspect that? Hopefully, it will be a long time before it matures & needs surgery. Lori |

| When we took Oliver to the vet a few months ago our vet said that he had a cataract in the other eye but so far there is nothing showing. I guess only the vet can tell with his equipment. Hopefully it will take awhile for it to mature because poor Oliver has gone through so much this year between his cataract and his liver problems. He's such a little trooper though. We have yet to neuter him because he has so many other problems. Oliver's meds were cut after the first check uip hopefully phoebe wil be lucky also. We have our fingers and paws crossed for her. |

| I am very happy to hear Oliver had a good checkup. Cage dryers should be banned.
