carenb Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Hi all, can anyone help - my legbar has over the past week or so, slowly closed one of her eyes. Now is completely closed. Anyone have any suggestion as to what this may be, or what to do to solve it ? Thank you for your time in advance everyone, Caren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Sounds as if she may have got an infection, scratched it or got a foreign body in it. I would bathe it with either salty water or cool tea, no milk, no sugar. It has soothing and antiseptic properties. If it doesn't improve, I'd take her to the vet in case it needs antibiotic ointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAB Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I had this with my Silkie - I think his feathers had poked in his eye after getting wet through in terrible rain. Bathed it with cool tea, which has antiseptic properties, and he was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
