So, after I went back and looked at the pictures of Sam the day after he had surgery, I’m thinking that Bill’s eyes look about right. I didn’t remember Sam’s looking so red and sore, but they certainly were.
I also decided that the fact that Bill’s been so quiet and is mostly sitting around watching his brothers and sister play is completely normal – because that’s what he did before surgery. He’s always been a quiet observer, whereas Hoyt has always been the spazzy bigmouth. They both seem to be healing just fine, feeling okay, and that’s all we can ask for!
And now I’m about to leave to take Lafayette to the vet for his new eyelips. Send good thoughts in his direction, would you?
Sam, a week after surgery and lookin’ good!
Hoyt, a day after surgery. Fred came upstairs to help me with medicating Hoyt, Sam and Bill last night, and he picked up Hoyt and looked at him and said “This isn’t one of the ones who had surgery yesterday, right?” and was surprised to find out that he was. That’s how good he’s looking!
Bill, one day after surgery.
Bill, still squinty. He may just be a squinty kinda guy. Maybe I should have named him Clint Eastwood.
(Edited in 2016 to add: I canNOT believe I didn’t say “Maybe I should have named him Squint Eastwood.” HOW DID I MISS THAT?!)
Snuggly Hoyt.
Sam, up close. Lookin’ good!
