Simon Has A Corneal Ulceration :(

[simonandhallie]

Yes, the headlock has been quite effective. Who knew 7 pounds could be so strong? You know what else had me giggling and this is really what makes me a bad mom. When the vet put the dye in Simon's eyes and turned off the lights and used the special lamp he looked like the cutest little alien ever. His eyes were glowing a bright green and I couldn't stop giggling, the vet told me to behave (haha).

I've been calling him my sweet alien baby all afternoon I just did round 3 and he was better. Of course the turkey hot dogs helped a bit too~

he isn't stupid mommy, he knows how to get you.... So should we start calling him our little monkey alien now....your not bad I would have laughed too... I was wondering have you tried to see if his eyes still glow in the dark.... Just kidding Simon, we love you....

aaawww...poor simon He's probably thinking that he deserves some TLC because of his eye but instead, he has a crazy momma fighting with him to put drops into his eyes Hope he feels better soon!

Did you try the towel? Im tellling you it works,It's one of V's old tricks.

[Judy in Waco]

Poor baby! You got him to the vet before it became serious even though you thought it wasn't very serious. That...in my opinion, makes you a GREAT mom! Plus...the whole eye drop resistance campaign he's putting on...you should be the yorkie mom of the year!!

I hope you feel better Simon!!!

[Sadie's Mom]

Poor Simon...Sadie send him love.

(and don't feel bad...we all would have thought the same thing about allergies)

[LIL MIS' MAGIC]

Poor little Simon! I sure hope you get better quickly and please let mommy put the drops in your eye without hurting her!

PS....Hope the towel helps....I have tried this with Captain & Sailor when trying to cut their nails.....it does help to hold them tighter and not get scratched as much, but mine still win more times than me!

My neighbor is going to help me when she gets home, do you think she will be available from 11pm-7am tomorrow?

I don't care though, as long as the monkey starts getting better. That's all that matters

One of my pet mice has one, and it is hard to get the drops in her eye too! Her eye is smaller than a drop, so it is really easy to miss!

Ok I've done this 7 times now and Simon's still winning. I couldn't hold the towel and get to his eye with only 2 hands. I thought perhaps he wouldn't struggle as much after he went to sleep but he got MAD AT ME!!!! And poor Hallie just stares at Simon like she doesn't really know what is going on

So now we are off to bed and I will set my alarm every hour (like I'm gonna be able sleep). I haven't heard if I will get to take tomorrow off after I teach my 8am class (I sure hope so).

Thanks again for all the well wishes and making me like a good mom. I just really wish I knew how it happened and now I'm really going to have to get Simon some doggles to protect his big brown eyes!!!

[SWEETPEA]

oh no i just saw this poor simon. hope he gets better soon. misty and me will be sending prayers and hugs and kisses

I hope Simon feels better, poor lil guy!

So sorry to read that Simon has eye problems. Mike's idea of putting the drops in while he is sleeping or resting might work so he is relaxed. Do you think the drops burn ie alcohol? I had to give Charlie oral Ivermectin every day for two months and it is so bitter. He would run away, literally go "agh" after the dose, and I would give him a treat immediately.

Simon sounds very strong, and it is too bad that you have to hold him down. I know that makes you feel sad when he resists. Warmly, Deborah

[I Love Bailey]

I am sorry to hear Simon has an eye infection. I used to put cheerios on the counter and let Bailey eat those while putting drops in her eyes.
I wash her eyes out everyday now with saline drops and she doesn't even care and she knows she will get a treat afterwards.
Bailey has allergies..go figure..

Simon Samuel! You better stop fighting your Mom. She knows what's best for you.
