Rupert is a Californian so has beautiful red eyes. He's currently got very sore eyes, the white bit is creamy and pink. I'm terrified it's cherry eye but his eyes don't seem to be bulging. I took him to the vet on Monday and the vet diagnosed conjunctivitis. When I mentioned my fear of cherry eye the vet didn't seem to know what I meant. How do I know which is which please?
Since then Rupert's eyes are clearly now very painful. They're not weeping, but they seem painful. Last night just before bed he was really shaking. He does this when he's in pain. I was that close to calling out the emergency et but he then ate a bit of plantain but not much, compared to his usual eat everything in sight approach. He then sat in his litter tray and shook, I gave him a dose of metacam and after 1/2 hour or so he ate a little more. I went to bed really scared.
This morning he was quite bouncy waiting for his treats but is quite quiet again though calm.
Clearly the metacam helped.
Please advise what eye cream is best for Rupert and when it should start to help him. I'll take him back to the vets, should I ask for anything else? When will he start feeling better?
He's pooing well and eating far less than usual though last night the veggie trays were only nibbled and this ,morning were empty!
