scarlettohara Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 (edited) Have just noticed this when went to shut their door, my millefleur frizzel has one eye closed. She will go to the vet in the morning but I have bathed with cooled boiled water for now. Anything else I can do - she has opened it now but it looks sore UPDATE: Took her back to the vet this am as eye again looks swollen, sore and now a bit cloudy. She had a different antibiotic injection and will have one again tomorrow as he said it could possibly be mycoplasma However he did say she was quite lively - she was cheeping and craning her neck to look around the surgery Can anyone tell me what else I should look out for - especially in the other babies. Thanks, Sara Edited September 12, 2010 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlettohara Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 Back from the vet - she had a small cut on her lower eyelid (probably from playing) and is it swollen and sore. She had an anti inflammatory and antibiotic injection (she weighed virtually nothing to the vet's amusement) and a general health check but all else fine. I have eye drops for 5 days to be on the safe side as she refused to open her eye long enough to put the green dye in I'm now £68 poorer as took one of the cats too and she has a bladder infection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Heck at least they'll pick up now. Getting it early before it blew up is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlettohara Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 Yes she is opening it more and I am so looking forward to putting the drops in later and wrestling with the cat to administer her tablet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallyChook Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 you have my sypathies... eye drops and animals are hell, as are tablets and cats. here's hoping both improve quickly xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I'm so sorry I didn't see this earlier Scarlett. If ever my girls have an eye problem I make some weak black tea...............let it cool ................then bathe the eye with the tea using cotton wool pads. The tea is a natural antiseptic and it often does wonders as sometimes they get runny eyes if they've had a bit of straw stuck in their eye or something daft. Hope your girl is on the mend soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
