One of my boars, Harry, has what looks like a hay poke. I noticed it Sunday morning. He looked as if he was squinting. The eye had a white spot and the entire eye looked a little cloudy. I wiped it with sterilised water and then wiped it with colloidal silver. I brought him to vet Monday morning. She used dye but said she didn't see any damage to his cornea so she prescribed Isathal, twice daily for 5 days, and booked a follow up. I have now been using it 3 days and I don't see much difference- possibly slightly less cloudy. Thankfully, he's eating, drinking and pooping ok. I'm just wondering if I could get an OTC eye drop to give him between Isathal doses? I've not used the colloidal silver since starting Isathal because I heard it can interfere with antibiotics, but would artificial tears, for example, be helpful?
Just as a side note, the same eye was damaged a few years ago when he fought with his cage mate. He got eye drops and it seemed to heal ok. I'm sure this time it's not the result of a fight, but I wonder if it's coincidence or not that it's the same eye that's affected?
