Our First Doctor Visit

It is official. Little Baby went to the vet today and got his clean bill of health. He does have one problem which I have known about since his first appearance here and it has worried me. He has a bad eye. I feared he might have a bacterial or viral infection in it which can happen with newborn kittens transferred from mom to baby during birth. However, he did not have that. That is a good thing. Those are difficult to cure or put into remission. Instead, he has a very bad scratch on his eye. We are doing all we can to save his little eye. If it does not improve soon with his regular vet's recommendations, I will take him to a vet opthamologist. They have vets of all kinds and we have been to most of them at some time or another. Only a few hundred miles away is an exceptional veterinary university. There is nothing quite like bonding on a few hundred mile drive with your cat unless it is taking one on board an airplane. Did you know that you can take your pet with you on board an airplane in the cabin as long as there are no more than two other people trying to do the same thing? It can get quite exciting! Not to mention loud. I am not planning any plane trips with little baby anytime soon. However a nice long, hot road trip might be in our near future. We are both hoping that eye heals quickly!
