That's good they have given you antibiotics. Do you know what they are called? Does the eye look any better?

it is Bactrim and the weird thing is it's for humans but also ok for pets, cats dogs and smaller animals? She didn't like it at first but she has come around to the taste now i water it down. Her eye still looks the same i think, but like i thought before one minute it looks bigger the next it looks normal! Think i am trying to look too hard sometimes... but she is putting on weight last night she was back in the 990s so i was very happy

The weight gain is good. Sounds like you have Septrin which is a good antibiotic. I am encouraged by the fact that the eye hasn't got any worse. With Tim there was a gradual deterioration each day.

Yes she is now up to 1012 again, she didn't gain this much weight on the first round of metacam, she barely got over 900 before.
She wasn't sure of the bactrim even though it was banana flavoured yes haha i had to water it down but now every morning she comes out and stands on her hind legs with her feet up on the edge of the cage waiting for her medicine! But both the bactrim and metacam have run their course (5 days for the bactrim and 7 for the metacam) but i have now started with the worming medicine for 5 days.
I'm glad Tim's eye is getting better, at least i know i can wait and see for it to go down - it's not gonna happen instantly. but i took some new photos for halloween and i can't tell if her eye looks big or not, she always had big eyes - my bf always said she had really big, bulgy eyes!
She is slightly on an angle - it is her left eye that i thought had the problem. it may still be slightly bigger but sometimes i see her look around and they move slightly and that can make them look worse

She's stunning. Is difficult to tell from the angle but I would say they are not that bulgy and definitely not in the way Tim's was. Great that she has gained weight.

She is my little brown scruff ball of half rex half aby <3 yes thinking back to the 2nd vets appointment i could definitely see her eye was bigger then.
