Sam's Altered Vision


Our doofus Sam. *shakes head* He greets the day by shaking his head. What dog doesn't?! ;) Turns out his morning routine is getting him in trouble. He's going blind? No, just tunnel vision caused by an elizabethan collar. Early last week we found a smallish hematoma on his left ear. We called the vet promptly and consulted on letting it heal naturally. They said that was a fine course of action. Well, things were going mostly well. He was not bothering it one bit, but he knew not to rough house with Joony. Sensible dog, right? Saturday it blew up like a balloon. Sunday it got hard as a rock. We brought him into the vet Monday morning (yesterday) and he needed to have it drained and a tube put it so it could keep draining over then few weeks. Needless to say, he's not liking the cone too much - it's his first time.
