Just noticed cheekiness eye doesn't look right. It's not weeping and she's completely fine in herself.

The weird thing is I've been having trouble with my own eye I have a little lump and itsdead sore!
 
It looks a bit blood shot maybe a bit of hay or something is in there ? Is it an opaque blueish colour or is it black as it should be?
I can't remember exactly what but some eye drops may help my bubsi eye was blood shot and blueish then bulged and the vet thought his eye would pop in 24 hrs but gave us eye drops and antibiotic ones and after a couple of days it looked perfect again!x
 
The eye itself looks absolutely fine apart from that bit in the corner it looks like pea eye but a bit red
 
Um I don't know then you could still try plain eye drops if anyone on here knows which you can use!?x
 
I give it a clean earlier with some saline and the redness has gone down a fair bit. It looks like eye lid skin coming up.

She may have an ulcer. Amelia Jane got one after having some hay in her eye. I would take her to the vet as they will diagnose it and give you the correct treatment for her. Poor thing looks in pain.
 
Aye I'll call them in the morning.

I like to have a bit of an idea of whats up before I go.

She doesn't seem in pain at all but I should imagine its annoying. I know mine is its driving me mad! Have to get myself seen my the vet methinks.

Piggy fan, I've FINALLY had my wisdom teeth out!
 
Oh my god it is about time! You had them in agony last year! I had one out and it is awful. Are you okay?
 
Yeah it's been a while now since they were done I was in a right state yet had to hack away some of my jaw to get at the bottom one then I had a fit coming round from the ga I don't remember that bit though luckily
 
Oh that sounds awful. You poor thing. I had mine under local not general. Yours must have been pretty bad to have to be sleeping while it was done.
 
Her eye gas calmed down alot since I soaked it

A visit to the vets is in order anyway I reckon
 
I couldn't get in today but they did ring me back with the first appointment in the morning. It's with the Pdsa because I'm signing on.

She's seems absolutely fine though had her in the couch before weeking her head off for foodies. Then running around the living room popcorning.

The eye is no worse but it's obviously not right!
 
Just in the Pdsa waiting for cheeky to finally be seen.

SOme people don't half get on my nerves. I'm the only one out of 7 people that's paid anything towards treatment. The woman on front of me didn't even have an appointment and has just turned up demanded her dog be seen and not paid anything. Pffft.
 
Fuming she's gone in before me, my appointment was 25 min ago and she's now sitting in the waiting room huffing and puffing while she waits for her free meds!
 
It's an ulcer she's got antibiotic eye drops.

They gave me a receipt there charging 42 just for the consult! That's outrageous it's 20 in my normal vets and 17 in the old one.
 
I thought it may be an ulcer. At least she has the treatment she needs now and hopefully it will go soon.
 
I'm still outraged there charging £42 for a piggie consult and double for the meds to!
