Last night Keeley and I were playing "Get BOB" aka catch with his toy alien. Well when he was bringing Bob back I accidently poked him in the eye! His eye swelled up and he was blinking it out of control, it was too late to call the vet so we decided to see how it looked this morning and when we woke up it was oozing a greenish puss.

I took him into the vet and he has to have eye drops for a week.

I feel SOOOOO bad. I hope it starts feeling better soon, I can't stand that he is in pain because of me.

OMG...that is such a freakish thing to happen! It wasn't your fault, accidents happen, unfortunately. But, he will probably be fine. Your quick action in taking him in and getting the medication he needed probably will do the trick. Best wishes to the little guy! If he appears to be in pain, you can give him Tylenol for kids.....just ask the vet what dosage to give him.
