Lizbit adds to the vet total

Two nights ago, Lizbit ran into or scraped against something in the dark, probably the end of a branch, an ice storm remnant. When she came in, she started swiping at her eye with her paw. Yesterday, the white part of her eye was red, so I vowed to take her to the vet today if it didn't look better. Sure enough, it was worse. The membrane also known as "the inner eyelid" was visible, red, and swollen. I got up early and snagged the vet's first appointment of the morning. The examination revealed no puncture or visible abrasion, so she was prescribed eye drops three times a day for a week.
Inserting the first eye drop required only three people and six hands. From here on, I'm on my own. This will be funny. I anticipate that my week's supply of drops will last about two-and-a-half days, including the amount that will land on her nose, ears, and the floor while she's wiggling around.
For the record, Annie was astonished that anybody would go to the vet without her.
