is this what it looks like in an early stage, or is this just an irritated tear duct and i a paranoid mother?



my poor little dude. :/

ollie says, uh, i hope this crap's not contagious.


if i'm not insane and this is cherry eye, can you guys who have been through this before give me the rundown? i know it's pretty common in bostons, but i'd love to get some sort of idea of the cost and how long our little dude will be feeling bad post-surgery. lunchbox had to wear one of those cones around her face once, and she was so miserable. i hope edgar doesn't have to go through that for an extended period of time -- he'll hate it, i think.
okay, enough babbling. please advise. :]
