Spent a couple hours at the emergency clinic this afternoon. Maliik was winking at me in an abnormal way and I never hesitate to get a vet check when it comes to eye issues. Regular vet was closed at 1 p.m. which is when I got home and noticed the problem.
It is a superficial wound and he's wearing the cone of shame at the moment and looking as depressed as he possibly can.
Problem is, I'm supposed to put drops in his eye 3x/day for the next 5 days. I can't pick him up, I can't hold him. If I can't approach him and get it in his eye when he asleep, I don't know what I'm going to do.
Will talk to the regular vet tomorrow to see if she has suggestions. Emergency vet (who I dearly love) said to call him and maybe he can work something out. Don't know what that means -- maybe Maliik will have to stay at the vet until the treatment is completed.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to handle a cat that is unhandleable?
