Poor girl , her eye is looking a bit better today .... but I can clearly see the damage . It must be soooooo. Sore ☹
She’s on eye drops 3 times a day and I’m giving her Metacam morning and evening .

All the best!

I have found that Kim Maddock's additional prescription of applying plain artificial tear gel 3-6 times a day for any eye injuries really helps with the healing process; especially where the infection has penetrated into the antechamber. The constant hydration is also making the eye more comfortable.
The gel is preferable to tear drops as it is longer lasting and more easily applied. You can get it from any pharmacy (say it is for yourself). Always at least half an hour after any medicated eye drops to allow them to be fully absorbed before applying any lubrication.

I agree .... the vet dispensed Remend ....which I see can be bought without prescription

(I’ll have to see how much the vet charged me 🤣)
 
I didn’t know the Remend gel was off prescription. I seem to remember it’s an expensive item from the vets.
 
Been back to the vet this morning as her eye has not improved .
The vet has cleaned the edges of the wound ...and she is on 20191027_142107.webpchloramphenicol eye drops 4 a day. I am currently sorting out how I can fit a job around looking after this love of mine 😂

She seems happy in herself. ..here is a picture taken just now of her chilling out with Dexy

Quick update : Sparkle went for her check up yesterday . Her eye is healing up, but it still has some way to go.

She is SO good at having her eye drops , but she made it perfectly clear that she doesn't like the vet :box:

Oh gosh, poor Sparkle, that really does look sore still. No wonder she didn’t like the vet poking around. Hope things continue in the right direction.
