Aw thats sad and I know its never an easy decision to let them go. Putting all the pet things away, beds, dishes and toys etc is so final I find, hugs from me xx5

Aww that’s such a hard decision to make, but better a day early than a day late. We’ve got to make a decision this week about our cat 😢😢😢

Hi @Cheery_Daff. I get visual migraines. Started August 2020 out of nowhere. Local optician did a really good examination and very accurately described what would happen. I’ve had about 6 since then - always start in the middle of my vision and the lights work their way outward and then vanish. Always about 20 mins. Sometimes one eye and sometimes both. Never get a headache. Quite strange when they happen.L x6

So sorry to hear of the dog. Its always a heartbreaking decision to let them go. 19 is a good age and by the sound of it he/she was ready for the trip to rainbow bridge.

Does it look like honeycomb shapes, mine does. It only lasts about 20 mins for me too.

Yes, this is exactly it! Very weird. And yes, kind of honeycomb but triangular - feels more like a kaleidoscope in my case. Most odd.Hi @Cheery_Daff. I get visual migraines.

Long day, but we're only about half an hour from home now fortunately.
In the office tomorrow. Got a frozen lunch I can take, so just need to knock up a smoothie for breakfast tonight. Got a hygienist appointment in the afternoon, and she'd best be gentle given I'm still waiting for a filling and for the dental hospital to take out this tooth with infected root canal 🙄6 -
That perfectly describes mine @Cheery_Daff no pain but the visual disturbance.Fashion on a ration 2025 0/66 coupons spent

Me too Cheery, mine is black flashing chevrons in the shape of a C . One large C shape. Lasts about half an hour and I find it difficult to see through it so reading is a bit difficult . No pain. Had it for about 30 years or so. If I close my eyes it’s still there in both eyes. I think it’s quite common and am just grateful there’s no pain with it.5
