Glad to hear that Monty is improving day by day, in a week or two his eye will be healed and the fur grown back, apart from the missing eye he will be back to his normal old self again. Sending hugs for Monty.

There is always an infection risk due to the huge abscess that was behind the eye, so we will be looking at keeping the Zithromax going for at least three weeks. He is looking really well and hasn't at any point looked unwell since having the eye removed. He was clearly in pain before the op.
 
Everything was going fine until Friday when we started to get some pus oozing out from the eye socket, and then by yesterday it was looking quite nasty and was opening up. Simon has checked it and says to start flushing and is hopeful that it will start to granulate and heal. It was a very aggressive abscess and was very deep in the socket so it isn't going to be a quick fix, but at least we now have drainage. Monty is fine in himself and doesn't seem at all concerned that he currently looks like something from a horror movie, bless him!
 
Oh no poor Monty, so glad he is in expert hands with you and Simon. Lots of healing vibes to him x
 
Ahh poor chap! Lacey;s was a little like this. Then she ripped some of the stitches out as well which did not help. After a few days flushing she was fine though so hopefully Monty will be the same. Lacey still gets some 'leaking' but its not pus so I just wipe every day. Its a yucky business!
 
Monty's eye is healing nicely now, but we are keeping him on Zithromax for another couple of weeks. He had his teeth filed yesterday and unless I am worried, he won't need to see Simon for two weeks. He is a tough little man, and just takes life in his stride.

I am thrilled to hear this Debbie and am pleased to say that since I have been flushing Eliza's wound out daily again, she is making progress too xx

Let's hope our little furries are on the up and up now! They do know how to worry us though x
