eye question

New Kit
Bonnie has a reddend area around her eye shes had it for a couple of days. the eye itself is clear, but the reddened area looks asthough it has a small amount of yellowish/creamy coming from it. Bonnie in herself is fine shes eating,playing and doing everything she usually does. I have been cleaning her eye gently with boiled water (cooled obviously).
any ideas?
 
Sounds like a bacterial infection to me- You need some meds from a vets. I have tried the home remedy of golden eye, but you have to do this for atleast 7 days. The best med in my opinion for eye problems which has cleared up two of my lot is Tiacil. You probably need a couple of bottles. Ask vets about it.

Ambience xx

P.s Remeber to let the vet diagnose it before you try any home remedy type stuff.
 
I would take her to the vets. You dont know what it is and what has caused it and you cant be too careful with eyes.
 
Thanks all of you. Took Bon to the vets this morning she's got an eye infection, eye drops and antibiotics and back to the vets on Monday for a check. She was not very pleased about being examined though:roll::love:
