Hi everyone,
just been to the vets with Rosie as her eye was inflamed and very watery when i came home. The vet used some dye that is meant to turn green if there was an ulcer, it didn't turn green whilst there, but it is now green in the discharge round her eye and in a small patch on her eye .

As the dye did not turn green whilst at the vets, the vet thought it is likely to be a conjunctivitis like infection and prescribed fucithalmic vet drops.

Unsure what to do now as there is a green patch on her eye, you can only see it in certain light.

Do i go ahead and use the drops?

thanks kayleigh x
 
The vet is likely to have prescribe fucithalmic eye ointment for a scratch/ulcer on the eye too so please don't worry - it's the right stuff for either condition.

Thanks suzy, just popped a drop in now for her. Didn't want to give it her if it would cause more damage. She seems happy enough, running round the run with the others so hopefully the drops will do the trick and she will be right as rain :)
 
Poor Rosie, when Cookie had an eye injury she had the same drops and it helped it amazingly well. Hope beautiful Rosie gets well soon x
 
Yes fuciithalmic is effective against ulcers and conjunctivitis. Damn fluroscene (dye) its a pain to get out for fur.

Hope your little one feels better soon.
