On Friday Douglas had his monthly ophthalmology recheck and everything is still looking good! He's able to decrease his prednisone more and decrease the frequency of his eye drops. He spent a little extra time with the vets because he's such an interesting case that they wanted to take pictures of his eyes in depth. Everyone loves Douglas at the UW!

Orla is home! Her white blood cells rebounded to normal levels this morning so doctor felt comfortable sending her home (with a LOT of antibiotics, pain meds and probiotics). ... Will forever be grateful that we got her into ER quickly… a few more hours and we likely would have lost her. Also SO grateful to the UW Veterinary Hospital for saving our girl's life. And now, we rest and recover. πŸ’›

So thankful to have @uwvetmed to help me take care of James and Normie, even if they're not too enthusiastic about their appointments!
