Slightly Squinted, Crusty, And Watery Eye

[piggy.talk]

I just noticed today right before her butt bath that Cotton's left eye was ever so slightly squinted, watery, and just a little crusty. It doesn't look that bad but it was enough for me to notice. Unfortunately my family and I were out the whole day and I returned home seeing that it hasn't gotten any better. I'm hoping it's just a hay poke and not a sign of URI or some sort of bacterial infection. I will attach a photo when I can.

If she's not recovered then she'll need to go to the vet as the hay might still be in her eye, and will causean ulcer if not treated.

We've been giving her saline and gentamicin as that is the best we can do for her at the moment. The vet appointment is 2 days away I hope she'll be better by then.

Please have her seen for an eye injury as soon as you can. Eye injuries can deteriorate very quickly, but thankfully heal quickly again in most cases.

I took her out today to find that it had gotten so much better after giving saline and gentamicin drops, she's good as new now!
