Collithing eye woes

Pete's right eye (on left in picture, naturally) suddenly appeared 'droppy' late last week and sunken in. After trying our first veterinary/medical approach "wait and see" - we went to the vet Monday. The vet said it was unclear what caused it, but that topical steroids would almost certainly solve the problem (the white liquid in the bottom of the eye is the steroid solution. She showed me how the eye was 'mushy' (ewww - I could feel it) because either the aqueous humor was not being produced in sufficient quantity or was draining too fast.
Pete and Kete seem to be very bothered by itchies these days - they always are as summer slides into autumn. I suspect in Pete's case it's because too much of last year's coat is still around, and in Kate's case allergies to somethign that is blooming now. Ed is either never itchy (he has a great coat) or else he is possibly too lazy to bother scratching :)
