Another windy morning when we were out walking.

I noticed after our walk that Ellie started rubbing her face. At first I thought it was a tick but having brushed her, I couldn’t find one. She has a collar on but I know I often find them crawling over her after a walk. Well, she kept on trying to scratch something on her face. I watched her and realised it was her eye and it was inflamed.

I went off to the vets, the Prof. We arrived at her door and this had never happened before, Ellie just sat down and wouldn’t move!! She was not going in! I guess since I have had her she has been a little like a pin cushion and the op for her being spayed too. A lot of needles in a few months. Well, I had to part lift, part drag her in and the Prof even came out with a bag of treats to try and entice her in!! We managed in the end. The Prof couldn’t see anything in it just inflammation but put drops in her eye and told me I must do it, 2 drops twice a day. She gave me Neo-Kort, an antibiotic steroid. The cost 40tl (about £11.30)

On the way home I stopped at David and Kenny’s to drop off a tool I had borrowed. Dave was there too, replacing some of their pool tiles. I had intended just dropping it off and left Ellie in the car. Kenny insisted I stayed for a glass of wine as Jennifer was there too and Kenny fetched Ellie out of the car. Four dogs again running around the pool. It took Ellie’s mind off scratching her eye. Well, a couple of glasses of wine later and then Kenny insisted I stay for dinner!!!! I am so lucky having such good neighbours. They are both the nicest of people. Thank you both.
