Anyone online - sore eye

Velvet · 19-12-2010, 01:18 AM

Hi folks

Wee Amber was outside in conservatory early evening with Timmy for couple hours - they do this most days, only difference is usually we check them every 30 mins or so to see if they want in, they usually dont!

Today we had friends to visit, so didn't check so often. Just noticed Amber working at one of her eyes & shes closing it. I dont see anything wrong, nothing sticking in it etc. Ive bathed it with luke warm saline. Is there anything else I could/should do? If its worse in morning i will give vet a call though as we are snow bound, a vet trip would be seriously dangerous.

I'll not annoy her again tonight with bathing. I do think its helped as shes lay down on one of the armchairs to dose & stopped working at it.

Can only think if they were playing roughly maybe Tim's paw caught her eye. They do tap each other with their paws

I would love to sit & cuddle her - but she wouldn't like it!!

I hope it's OK, especially considering the weather and the hazards of a vet trip; I'd just keep an eye on it and f it doesn't seem to be weeping or irritated and she seems otherwise all right eating and toileting, I'd try not to worry .... although we do, don't we! Let us know in the morning how she's doing.

Sounds exactly right, that it has been caught somehow but see how it s in the morning and if it still is doing the same then ring the vet. I hope it gets better soon.

I know this is 10 hours later but hopefully a nights rest will have helped the eye recover. My two spend a lot of time play fighting each other. The downside of this is they quite often have a sore eye, nothing serious but obviously been caught by the other somehow. Usually a bathe in saline solution and a day or two rest and they are fine.

How is it today? If no worse I'd bathe again. Obviously if you're really worried then even a phone call to vet for advice would maybe put your mind at rest.

I hope Amber's eye is OK now? The saline solution was just the thing ..... perhaps repeat until you can get to the vet if you're still worried.

Much better thankfully. I'll keep up bathing anyway today. They were rough playing this morning so separated them fir a wee while. Tim sat swishing his tail in indignation but its just for today.

Looks like just a play injury then. Phew, they just love to worry us don't they?
