Hi all
Haven't been around for a while but just wanted to post a bit of a brief on a nasty eye abscess we're treating on Hildy.
Hildy had a very deep hay poke to her eye, which has not responded to a topical antibiotic eye drop that she's been on for a few days. We have very sadly had an abscess form in the front of the eye.
Hildy has been the bravest little girl throughout. Eating, drinking, in and out of everything as always. Tonight was the first dose of baytril along with metacam and a probiotic mixed into the dry food which she has been on for over a week now. She's not seeing out of it and likely won't regain vision but we hope we can save the eye and avoid surgery.
If anyone would like to share experiences, advice etc do reply - I'm anxious to get this right for Hildy.
Thanks
