I remember that! One of our Shih Tzu's went through something similar for a while.

Have you asked the vet how bad it would be if Gracie missed the OTC eye-drops for whatever period of time?

In Minneapolis, there's a company - Pets Are Inn - that arranges in-home pet-sitting. They don't list any franchises in Illinois, but I wonder if there's an equivalent? I vaguely recall seeing ads for an Uber-like company that does pet walking - I wonder if they also to pet sitting?
