eye update

We went to the regular vet today for a check on the bleeding eyeball. Initially the doctor said that it looked like the blood was getting re-absorbed and the eye was on the mend. She instructed me to continue the antibiotic three times a day until the week was up, and decrease the atropine from every night to every other night. She took Dragon to the back to draw his blood, since he happens to be due for his DHP vaccine and I wanted to get a titer first. The light was different there and she got another look, and was concerned to see a slight "fuzziness." It might be nothing, or it might be a sign of a small amount of retinal detachment. She refered me to an ophthalmologist. We have an appointment there tomorrow morning. I am really worried about the possibility of permanent damage to his eyesight.
