corvus Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) We went to see Dr Smith at the ARH this afternoon. He very quickly figured out the problem and it was a cluster of little hairs on the inside of his eyelid. He didn't say which kind of hair, but I'm guessing the kind that regularly cause ulcers! The cluster of hairs lined up neatly with the problem area on his cornea. So I'm booking him in for surgery to get it sorted out sometime this week. Thanks everyone for your help and for encouraging me to get a referral. I'm glad we have an answer and a solution.

Kirty Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Good luck with the surgery. He will feel much better once those eyelashes are gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corvus Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 Yeah, poor little fella makes me sad when he has a sore eye. It's like half the Erik gets sucked out of him. We often ask him to be a little less Erik for a while, but what can I say, I really prefer him at maximum Erik. ;) Life suddenly seems very dull when there's less Erik in it.

corvus Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Erik's in surgery today. With luck he will be home tonight, but probably he will have to come home tomorrow morning. Kivi was more upset about him leaving us than Erik was. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
