Trouble never takes a holiday

It has been a rough month for my little friends.  Jock has had to go to the vet a couple of times.  He has had an eye infection.  I called Dr. Don on a Sunday night about two weeks ago.  Jock's eye was blood shot and swollen.  I wanted to know if I could use contact solution to flush his eye.  Yep.  I could.  Ok?  Can I bring him in in the morning and will you be there?  Oh, yeah, bring him in.  I want to make sure he does not have an ulcer.  Monday morning Jock and I made the trek to Dr. Don.  Dr. Don was not in the office.  He was out on call at one of the ranches.  Fuming,  Ok, yeah, I can see Dr.  Henninger.  I do like Dr. Henninger.  He is so gentle.  He checked the eye, gave me an antibiotic and two tubes of salve.  He also ran tests to confirm that there was no ulcer.  There wasn't.  So I treated Jock for 5 days and he is much better, but he still has gunk in his eye.  I called Dr. Don again at home.  He agreed with me that Jock is having trouble with allergies.  He told me to keep him in as much as possible.  Well, short of giving him a litter box, he is already in as much as possible.  So Dr. Don told me to keep up the salves and I could also give him Benadryl if needed.  Jock is pretty high maintenance.  Now Abby on the other hand, is not.  No food upsets her.  No allergies.  Just a grouchy old lady.  They are all sweeties.
