Stevie's eye - Needs abx again and poss op

It's going back a while now but I almost had corrective surgery on Stevie's eye but it suddenly seemed to get much better.

I think Jet helped keep it clean and I have been bathing in warm water but have noticed a little puss in it again - It still isn't healing. I really wish the original op was done properly.

I didn't want to put him under GA unless I really needed to but it's looking likely now :cry:

He's going onto another course of abx as a last shot at trying to make it heal but the vets aren't confident and think an op is the only real chance, but even then they said it might not work and he may still suffer infection :cry:

Whilst he's on abx is there anything else I can try bathing his eye with?

I heard that garlic is really good at healing, but is it safe to use with buns considering they shouldn't eat it?

I dont want him to have an op :cry:

Why does it all happen at once, Eva's in for her spay on Monday too :cry:
 
I do think I was lulled into a false sense of security thinking it was healing - But now I just think it was Jet keeping it clean for him :(
