Junior Guinea Pig
Posted a few days ago about Rusty and baby Ziggy having eye infections.
Took them both to the vet ( yes, two consultation fees!) who didn't really say exactly what was wrong.....just "eye infection".
Gave tube of " Isathal" antibiotic eye drops to use three times daily on each piggy.
However, I am really worried about Rusty.....his eye seems to be getting worse and now I think it has spread to the other eye as that one looks a bit red today. His eye is constantly watering and looks so sore and he cries when I put the drops in.
Baby Ziggy's eye is not so bad, just a little pink round the rims and slightly closed but not nearly as bad as Rusty's.
Rusty is still eating but he is very quiet and depressed.
Am I over reacting and perhaps just need to give the drops time to work? Should I be concerned that it has spread to the other eye?
Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.
