Hi all so my hooman is getting really fed up with my poorly eye, and so am i! I had a really bad hay poke that left a small ulcer,well i went to the scary vet hooman -i did my best to hide under my hay in my travel carrier but he blooming found me! After alot if poking and prodding he checked my teeths and put some horrid green stuff in my eye my hooman says i looked like the Hulk? :/ .. Anyway the vet hooman clarified it was a small ulcer and gave my hooman some fucithalmic cream for my eye (i hated having it put in my eye and fell out with my hooman for a short while!) anyway my eye got better woohoooo! :) but now every so often it weeps and looks sore so back to the vet i went, it got better again :) .. But now my eye feels sore again and my hooman has to keep wiping crusty things out of it which I'm ever so good because i let her because it feels really nice :) but me and my hooman wondered do any of your hoomans know what could be causing this to reoccur all the time? Thankeeeekkkss Ditto xx
 
Gammy Eye

It sounds very much as though your piggy is not clearing the infection that has invaded the eye. Do you finish all the ointment you are given or stop when the eye looks better?
Possibly your piggy may need a stronger antibiotic or for you to apply it for a longer period!
Hope you see some improvement very soon.
