Eye Membrane Help (x-posted from Health)

could it be an allergy as it looks very red? - have you looked in the eye to see if there is a foreign object i.e. a hair, piece of grass sorry I can't be of anymore help
 
Thanks for replying, she hasn't had any allergies before (though we've only had her 14 months, I guess it's still possible) I tried to have a look to see if there was anything in her eye but she doesn't seem to want me touching it, I'll wash my hands and try again :(
 
Tried again and had a good look (or as good a look as I can hope for without any specialist equipment) and can't see any foriegn body in there... although I got an almighty disgruntled thump in response when I put her back down :oops:

Poked herself in the eye with hay?

I really hope it's just something like that... I'm trying to keep an eye on it to see if it's getting worse or not but she keeps disappearing behind the sofa to flop out :? it's just so hot here today and tomorrow is only going to be even worse...

I do tend to think of smaller things first... Just, my friends pig didnt eat for a while... It was coz she had swallowed a bit of hay whole.
Cats eyes were weird... She had rubbed some plant stuff in her eyes and had a reaction.

Definatly be careful but I do find that animals can do daft little injuries to themselves at times just like people do. Hopefully it'll be totally fine by later on tonight and you won't need to worry :)
 
Fingers crossed its better in the morning. In my experience if teeth are the problem the eye runs rather than swells.
