I removed the stitches today and this is what his eye looks like. There is a small place on both sides of the eye that will hopefully continue to heal but the stitches were no longer needed.  One of these is at the inner canthus of his eye, it almost looks like a small piece of skin is missing. I am hoping this will conti ue to close with time. He doesn't seem to  have any problems opening or closing his eye though.
