dent/scratch in eye

Amsy1991

Mama Doe
ive just noticed a dent or scratch in the middle of binkys right eye. i was wondering if i would be anything serious and if we should treat it or whatever. i was wondering also how it was caused, maybe a scrap between miffy & him or he got hay stuck in it? im not sure.

any tips. id take a photo but theres no point as you wouldnt be able to see it.

I would prob take to vet to check out-if not be watchful for signs of infection. Does the bun seem in pain?-Sue:wave:
 
Is it on the eyeball, or the lid? Kendra had to have stitches recently cos she had the tiniest liitle cut on her eyelid. I took her to vets as soon as I saw it, but TBH I didn't think it was a big deal at all:oops: Vet was concerned it would change shape of her eyeball, that could lead to massive problems:shock: She had a GA, a couple of stitches, metacam & baytril & was fine after about a week:D

I also had someone elses buns here for bonding recently & one of them (Pr Prod's Dude) had a little eye injury. I panicked a bit cos of Kendra, but he just had baytril & vet put some dye in his eye to make sure his eyeball had no scratch:D

So vets:D
 
It sounds more like an ulceration on the eye. I would take him to the vet so he can see if it is retaining dye. He will need a course of fucithalmic drops or tiacil either way. :)
