Ping pong dog

Look at my poor baby...




Last night after his nap Nitis' right eye was suddenly swollen. It doesn't look half as bad in the pictures as it really did. I am SO not good at dealing with these things, I get so worried, feel nauseous, start shivering, just want to cry. It didn't help when a few hours later his left eye started swelling too! I think I need to marry a vet!

Unfortunately it was nigth time in the middle of nowhere and there was no vet in sight, neither to wed nor help the dog out. We decided to sleep on it, but I can't say I got much sleep. Although I was no longer awake when my little dog woke me at 4 am to go pee. First thing after forcing my eyes open I looked into the eyes of my baby and they no longer looked liked ping pong balls!

Still don't know what caused it, an allergic reaction of some sort. I was just so relieved he was fine again... which lasted not half a day before he managed to get a plastic bowl on his head with the result that he could not use his right front leg (I have no idea either) for half an hour. Dog crying and screaming, Smilla with a heart attack... maybe I should have bought a goldfish instead.
