So one of my girls.henrietta has a poorly eye.
Checked them as i do every day and i noticed on weds her right eye was very watery...didnt think too much of it as i know they excrete liquid from eyes to groom but thursday her inside of eye was really red and inflamed. Got her out and checked as best i could and couldnt see anything.
So friday morn booked her to vets that night and vet put a dye in her eye and she had a minor scratch...she then put a numbing cream in it and proper checked it for anything and nothing was in there..
She generally has fatty eyes anyway but this was more so and just angry looking
I guess my main question is would a scratch alone cause this?
Poor girl...you see her nice side she looks normal but she turns her head and u get evil eye...literally!lol
Shoukdnt laugh but her Fve is comical.
So shes on antibiotic eye drops twice a day for a week and if still same to take her back.
Any advice would be great please from you lovely lot :)
 
Aw - poor Henrietta. I hope the eye drops your vet has prescribed will help.
 
Thank you... hoovering all food water and hay so will........keep an eye on her...pun intended :)
