Eddie Has a Horrendous Corneal Ulcer :-(

Jack's-Jane

Wise Old Thumper
He sustained an injury to his left eye on 22nd November. A piece of hay got stuck in the conjunctiva. A small ulcer developed on the cornea but resolved after 10 days treatment. But now, for some inexplicable reason it has returned, only much worse :cry:
Eddie is my frail brain damaged and permanently snuffly Bun. He really doesnt need another problem.
We are off to see Christabel now
Poor Eddie Wabbit :cry:
 
Thanks Lily :)

It appears that a tiny fragment of hay must have remained in his conjunctiva from the previous injury and suddenly worked itself out. So everytime Eddie blinked the tiny strand of hay scratched his eye :cry:
Christabel managed to remove the offending strand and thankfully the cornea has not been penetrated. Eddie is to remain on Tiacil for at least a week.
 
if it is an ulcer then insulin put into the eye works a treat. One of my buns had one and the eye specialist at my vet he was on Tiacil and the insulin if you want Christobel to give him a ring I will give you his name and number:D
 
Aww poor Eddie that darn hay is lethal sometimes, i got a bit stuck right down my nail when i was pulling some out of the bag so i can only imagine what pain he's in :( Sending vibes for him xx
