Huey and the Cone

A little over a month ago I caught Huey rubbing his face in what appeared to be a broken duck egg in my parents' backyard and the event was immediately followed by what appeared to be a cut in his right eye. Emergency visit to the vet, cone, eye drops, eye gel, and he's cured.

Fast-forward a few weeks and the cut returns, no duck eggs in sight. Fast-forward to last week and the cut is back, prompting a visit this morning to an animal ophthalmologist. Turns out I owe an apology to the duck egg--Huey has a treatable degenerative disorder and he had simple surgery this morning to help correct it. Hoping the little guy will bounce back in a week or so and we can finally get rid of the cone (and get some sleep!).
