Josy is a nethie we took in a few months ago, she was part of a large rescue. Fairly beloved took the rest to Rehome but we kept Josy because she had cystits and the vet suspected mastitis, she was also a bit feisty.
A few weeks ago we put her in to be spayed and have the mammary lump removed, I asked for x-Rays first, just in case the lump was cancer and check it hadn't spread to her lungs. Luckily I did because her heart became very irratic while being x-rayed and the vet said he wasn't happy to carry on with the op. We agreed and may try at a later date with a different anaesthetic protocol.
Anyway when I picked her up one eye was all gunky, the vet said to put fucithalmic in a couple of times a day, but no improvement. She saw the vet again and we added in a corneal repair gel as well as increasing number is treatments to 3 times a day for both the gel and the fucithalmic. She is slightly better, the vet thinks but to me it looks like her eyelashes are now turning in. Obviously I don't want to operate on her anytime soon but I can't seem to get on top of this eye issue.
To add, Josy has always been prone to a dirty bum, x-Rays showed she has a severely deformed spine so probably can't get down to clean herself, so at least we know why.
