Another late trip to the vet with Milo lastnight. Around 7:30p he was strangely MIA. I eventually found him under the coffee table with blood coming out of his eye. It wasnt too bad, just a little under his eye, but any bleeding from the eye is not good in my book. Poor guy. We brought him right into the vet and the doc met us there. Milo mustve been scratching his eye and caught a claw in his eye, rupturing it and thats what the bleeding was from. On Friday, the eye was still "good" (even though it looked really bad) and the retina was still looking okay. Lastnight we didnt get a reaction from it so it seems he has lost vision in that eye. Doc gave us two options to either take the eye out or bring the 3rd eyelid back up and see how he handles it for the next couple of days. We're in the last straw with his eye...if he scratches it and it bleeds again or if something else bad happens itll have to be taken out. We decided to try to put the eyelid back up as it doesnt realy seem to bother him that much (other than itching). Doc put a smaller button on his head and was also able to cover the rupture with the eyelid - both good things. We got home at 10:15p, put his cloth cone thingy around his neck while bribing him with treats to call him down. He super freaked out last time we tried to put that on him so we took it off to calm him down. He's fine with it now so thats good. He's in good spirits, running around playing this morning and getting his purr on. Im really hoping the doc was wrong about his eye not having vision. Milo just cant catch a break. If we can make it until next thursday with the cone on and his eyelid up we may have some hope when we start eye steriods.

I brought Milo into the vet yesterday, again.  Everything was fine until Wednesday afternoon.  Whatever happened caused his eye to go edemic and turn all white..looked really bad.  I brought him in and the vet said he had severe (bad) corneal (eye) edema (swelling).  So, the vet sutured his 3rd eyelid over his eye to act as a "living bandage".  Right now he has a button on his head...literally - its done like that so the skin doenst heal around the suture.  It looks kinda funny, but I feel so bad for him.  He keeps pawing at it too.  Milo just cant catch a break!
