No More Fun and Games
Sometime between 6:30 and 7:15 on Thursday night, Minx and Magnus got into one of their usual rough-and-tumble play sessions. Unfortunately, Magnus somehow managed to give Minx a scratch on a cornea. The eye in question was very watery and Minx kept holding it shut. We were pretty sure that he wasn’t ill, but we went to the vet on Friday, just in case.
The good news is that it’s already healing up nicely, and the vet gave us some antibiotic eyedrops in order to ensure that continues. The even better news is that the eyedrops apparenty don’t sting, because giving a fully-clawed, twelve-and-a-half-pound, slippery-quick cat eyedrops is not an easy proposition under the best circumstances.
The vet tells me that he’ll be fine, and the cloudiness will clear up on its own in a few weeks. Minx is still walking around all squinty, though. I feel as though I should teach him to say “aaaaaaaarrrrrrr!!!”
ETA: As of Sunday, Minx is starting to open the injured eye a bit, and it looks much less red and cloudy.

[...] a month ago, Minx got his eye scratched. Intiially, it seemed to be healing well, but not so much now. [...]
