Hi All,

I've just got back from hols for 2 weeks and a family member has been looking after my babies, we've come back and my two year old female frenchie, Lady has got a hard lump on the end of her nose and her right is is swollen and red. We took her to the vets on Sunday and he's given her some antibiotics and eye drops so we've been giving her them. The good news is that the lump on her nose is going down, the bad news is that her eye has got worse! :(

Its her lower eye lid, its now like a big red spot and is more swollen, she is acting completely normal, eating etc running around like crazy so its not bothering her but i have no idea what it is! :(

Any advice? My father in law did saw that whilst we were away they broke one of our ceramic bowls and that my house rabbit got out and there was a little scuffle between the 3 so i was wondering if she's either clonked herself in the head with the bowl and damaged her eye or one of the other buns has hurt her?

Sorry for the long post but any advice would be great :)

thanks everyone!
