Thanks for all your messages. The vet thankfully thinks Archie's sight will be fine and it will be checked again in three months. What a relief. However it would appear that he still has not learn't his lesson. If he sees our resident hedgehog, Spikey, in the garden he tries to push and tap it. Well, last night he finally found out that its best to give Spikey a wide berth. My son heard a big yowl just before coming in time and rushed outside to find Archie by Spikey looking pained! Lets hope there will be no more accidents! :Crazy:

Feeling really great after Archie's trip to the vet this afternoon. The vet said his eye had healed and he did not need to check it for three months. Archie will be celebrating no more eye drops! ;D

Aw, glad to hear that the vets were pleased with the progress.  I know Max was getting pretty peeved with eye drops after 2 weeks, but its for the best, and I'm sure they know that deep down  :hug:

Give him a gentle head rub from me and Maxy x

I'm glad he's making good progress.  You know he must be feeling better when he runs away from the eye drops!  Jaffa has had to have eye drops a few times for conjunctivitis and it took all my cunning to get them in him for 5-7 days.

 :thanks: Thank you so much for all your thoughts and good vibes. The vet was pleased to see that Archie's eye was responding to his torch. We have to keep on with the eight eye drops a day regime and take him back next Wednesday. Hopefully the punture wound will be much better by then. Poor little chap is beginning to make a dash for it when he sees the eye drops looming towards him! :Crazy:

Hopefully the drops will be a piece of cake to give, even if it takes 2 people to do it lol!  When Max had drops a while ago he struggled for the first few, then I think he figured out they were going to help him, and he became much less wriggly and complied for a change  :evillaugh:

Good luck and hope Archie's eye improves quickly for you both  :hug:

We managed to get the drops into Archie's eye this morning only 7 more to go now! He is such a brave little cat. His pupil is still very dilated, but that could be the drops. :Crazy:

Just brought Archie home with two lots of eye drops. He will have to have a combination of eight drops per day in his poor eye. If we cannot manage he will have to go back to the vets for a few days. The vet is quite hopeful he won't have to lose his eye. Poor little chap. He is also confined to the house until his eye gets better. The vet said usually when cats get this type of injury they come into the vets with a small twig etc still in their eye but Archie must have pulled back when the sharp object went in. I just wish I knew what it was. Anyway I just hope we can manage the drops. Thanks for all your kind thoughts which have helped. :thanks:
