One of my recent three girls which I took on knowing they were ill may need an eye op.
I picked up the three thinking that two were possibly pregnant and one had rti.
vets visit revealed that two of them had eye issues one was crusty ( fluffy) (which I knew about) but one who have have called salt has a lump in corner of her eye it touches her eye ball and she had eye gunk. The vet said she may need it removing. It has a hair stuck to it which is touching her eyeball I wonder if it is a hair folicavle which has a lump growing on it.
they are only 8-12 weeks old bless them.
The lump is very small because she is small but it is causing discomfort as she does squint.
I dont think a photo would even pick it up. But ill try later.
They are all on antibiotic eye drops for now and I will be taking them back next week to see how they are doing and discuss op. The lump doesnt seem like something that will shrink I think it is a birth defect.
I wanted advice from here really to see if it is something she really needs doing or whether she'd manage with the lump or would it be too uncomfortable long term and risk her health with infections etc..?
I don't know whether vet will tell me what is best as in past I have been told by vets they cant tell me what to do for best?
