Quick update - we've got the vets later to discuss longterm options, but since Odin's eye exploded he has been doing better and better. His eye is perfectly normal, third eyelid and all, and I'm pretty sure he can see at least something out of it - he doesn't tilt his head at us like he was, and he seems to respond to flicking fingers either side, turning towards them. Eating is great, though it's still be a struggle to get them bigger. They've been outside the past few days for several hours and that has helped as he eats the grass, so we're just going to try and get them in the garden as much as possible. Be interesting to see what his weight is like now. Could the penicillin be affecting his gut a little? There are no caecals and haven't been for some time now.
Freja - we sent photos of her lip but they agreed that it wasn't worth the stress of trying to look at it and bringing her on, just to give pain relief and try to clean it. It is healing really nicely, all healthy pink and smooth now, doesn't bother her at all, and she is more and more happy every day.
They've not been to the vets for nearly 3 weeks now so they have had a good chance to settle down into normal life again. Odin is a little angel with his injections, I can give them when he's just sitting on the floor eating herbs.
Trying out their new transport box today, hope it works, it's a big storage box on wheels! Will be a snug fit but it's just for quick visits and emergencies, for day trips I'd still take them in the dog crate, I just can't manage that myself very easily and we need a quick and easy option anyway, especially if we're away.
