Pepper's BIG eyes go for a check

We lugged the approximately 9kg load out of our house today,
supposedly so that Pepper would stop wailing

But he still did.
Maybe he wailed a little lesser,
for shorter intervals this time.
I guess.

But it was less stressful for Pepper this time,
with Miaomiao's company

Anyway,
I already predicted some sort of reproach from the vet this time,
for not immediately taking him to the vet

But,
for a typical vet visit:
See doctor's face: pay $25 per cat
Doctor checks butt and squeeze something out: $15

And the list goes on...

I hope she will understand why we didn't bring him
to the vet immediately

Although I know that if we brought him earlier,
his condition wouldn't be so bad

The immflammation is now in both his eyes,
so he needs to be on anti-biotics and anti-immflammatory pills

and also to wear an e-collar for this 14 days
(E-collar: Elizabethan collar, a cone-shaped plastic thing
worn around the cat's head to prevent it from licking its injury,
scratching its face etc.)

He totally hates the e-collar,
but it should be better by tomorrow

Pepper is now 3.8kg,
meaning that he lost half a kilogram
So yup,
we will need to include more kitten kibble in his diet,
because he is actually supposed to still eat kitten kibble

And the vet loves him!
She asked to carry him in her arms,
which Pepper was a very sweet obliging cat
and just sat nicely in her lap

Then she very happily said that Pepper purred
Although after that,
we were wondering if he was purring or trembling,
because he was trembling so much while waiting for his turn

And all this while Miaomiao was hiding
in the inner most corner of the carrier,
lest the vet was going to give her another jab
