Trip to the doctor
Gray scrooge has a pink eye. It started tearing a lot and oozing yellowish mucoussy stuff, so i took him to the doctor.
The poor guy really freaked out when i took him outside in his camping tent... the noise of traffic was too much for him. He cried hard in the cab, and was very restless when we finally got to the clinic -- all those dogs barking, and dental equipment going on and off in a back room totally freaked him out...
The nice doctor tested his eye with some fluorescence drops, and concluded that it's conjunctivitis, and gave him a bottle of drops, one in each eye, 3 times a day. The cab ride back was realllllllly long -- the cab driver had to tell me his life story and interview me the entire ride. i ended up answering random things just because i was tired of his questions (if someone asks, my name is korina and i'm from detroit, i travel a lot for work)
Gray scrooge is sleeping on the armchair now, i'll keep you posted about how he's doing.
next morning update:
the eye looks so much better. it's not tearing and all the gross stuff is gone :) hurray modern medicin!!
next next day (Sat)
Scrooge looks much much better. i keep giving him his eye drops (he knows by now to come and get his treat afterwards) but i think he starts missing Ben -- as the rest of us do.
10 days later. all clear.

Grey scrooge is back to himself. He stepped in his own fresh turd this morning in the litter box and left little brown, smelly footprints all over the kitchen we just mopped. Luckily Keren caught him before he could hit the carpet.
