Oh no, poor Pinky! How did the vet appointment go?

 

[weepweeps]

He’s back on doxycare antibiotics, antibiotic eye drops, loxicom, eye gel to keep it hydrated and a thicker eye gel overnight.

Plus his potassium citrate to stop bladder stones and critical and ProC because he’s on the antibiotics.

Hiya got a very thick creamy discharge now. She said she’s 99% sure it’s chlamydia. But we haven’t tested for it. There’s no point as it will be the same treatment.

She said he could be prone to flare ups like this every so often.

£100 this time. She’s very good though.

Booked in again for next Wednesday for a check up.

This is why when I got him he was sneezing a lot. He probably doesn’t have allergies as was thought.

It's not the first I've heard of chlamydia related to the eyes in guinea pigs, so I can believe it well enough. If it is that, not that it's better than allergies bur at least you're not stuck trying to find the trigger when he has an episode of it.

I'm sorry, poor Pinky. I hope it clears up soon and doesn't come back too soon. Hopefully doesn't come back at all!

My late Muffin suffered from clamydia. He was on eye medication for a few weeks. I would have to look up for how long it was, if you are interested.
But his symptoms weren't as bad as Pinky's.

Sorry to hear about Pinky’s diagnosis.
Hope all the meds clear it up once and for all.
Holding you in my heart

Very true

That would be great if it’s not too much trouble. It’s always good to hear other peoples experiences

Poor Pinky and poor you.

I am sorry that it highly looks like Pinky has chlamydia but he has a wonderful mummy looking after him

 

[weepweeps]

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

Poor Pinky and poor you! I hope it clears up quickly and you get a break from gpig ill-health for a while @weepweeps

 

[Truffolo]

I hope Pinky's infection clears up quickly. Wishing you support for all the medication

 

[Roselina]

You’re doing an among job nurse guinea pig
