Hey everyone,
Just wondering if I could possibly ask for some advice? I've just come home and given both of my girls their metacam (they had their spays on Wednesday - both are doing extremely well) and while giving Maple her dose I noticed that her lower eyelid on one side is a little pink and looks very slightly inflamed. There's no discharge coming from it or any other symptoms. She's acting completely normal (starving and begging for attention :lol
They both had their vaccination about a week before surgery (tried to get more of a gap between the vaccines and spay but that was the soonest they could do it) so she is vaccinated against Myxo. Problem is (and why I searched every vet in the area on the off chance someone still offered separate vaccines!) I know the combination doesn't seem to be as effective :/
Is it something I should be really concerned about or something I should just keep a close eye on? Could it be a result of a lowered immune system or a reaction to the metacam? I've been giving her 1ml as instructed since Thursday. Her final post-op appointment isn't until next Friday. I can get her to the vet tomorrow morning but would rather avoid tonight unless you think it should be considered more urgent as my actual vet is closed and I think they refer you to a more expensive emergency vet.
I can try to get a picture if that would help? Not sure how well it will come out as my rooms light isn't all that bright and I don't want to handle her any more than necessary at the moment (though I'm sure she'd welcome it - she's been going mad being cage-bound since the spay :roll
Thank you so much for any advice
Edit: Got some pictures. The first one is her good eye. By the way she's squinting a little in the second one as I had just stroked her (the only way to keep her still!)
Now that I've got a better look I can see that it is more inflamed than I thought :/ So that's a definite trip to the vets tomorrow..
