Heal, Hamilton
Suddenly Hamilton’s eye is bulging all sore and out-of-place looking. He looked perfectly normal yesterday or the day before. He seemed sort of sad and worn out earlier when we tried out best to doctor him up and comfort him. He kept sitting and licking Chad’s hand all sweet. He’s known to nibble fingers a bit -just exploring- but we’ve never seen him this docile and still. But he started scampering around a bit all over Chad while I was seeing to his cage. Washed out his eye with boric acid saline solution, gave him a few little treats of fresh veggies and such. He pushed the carrot pieces off the dried bread and devoured the minced garlic…so I gave him more. I thought that was interesting, and can only be beneficial if not just a yummy snack. We’ll see how he is in the morning and off to the vet.
