Assessment of his eye infection is potentially good news insofar as it's
operable (various tear ducts & lachrymal passages need surgical intervention
and his lower eyelids need trimming) and with a good chance for total
success. So I could get a fully healthy boy back again soon :)

Operation booked for the 15th August.

The surgery is half an hour's drive away and as usual Bandit made it very
clear how much he hates being caged up in a car by maintaining an eldritch
screeching (stuck pigs could learn much from him) for the entire journey,
both ways. Good as gold at TEDs, though, and I even got him purring on the
exam table. He was encouraged to explore the consulting room so TED could
assess his eyesight and he (Bandit, not TED) did some housekeeping, picking
up a small wodge of fur from a previous patient that was under the desk.

So 3 weeks to recover before the big event. I'll be asking you all to purr
for a good outcome at the time. In the meantime we can all purr positively
for others in need.
