Now Mimzy, possible torn third eyelud? :(

As if I don't have enough to worry me with Fiver. Now it appears Mimzy has torn (or God forbid one of the cats did) his third eyelid on his 'up' eye. Conjunctiva is red and weepy and 'boogery'. He hasn't had his eyedrops in a week because I can't find the brand we use for him. He will also have to be seen along with Fiver when I see the vet open tomorrow but can I do anything to help him till then?

Gosh...sorry to just be posting more misery. :cry: Many TIA.
(Still using phone data...sorry to be brief.)
 
The only thing I can suggest is to apply some 'Artificial Tears' . You should be able to buy them OTC from a Pharmacy. The generic name of the type I have used is Carmellose Sodium. Sold here as Celluvisc. It wont treat or prevent infection, but it should keep the eye lubricated and reduce soreness until you can get Mimzy to a Vet.

You sure are being put through the mill M :cry: Sending millions more vibes x
 
Oh goodness - I am sorry that you have poorly buns when you are still recovering and settling in. Sending loads of vibes for Mimzy and Fiver and some hugs for you x
 
Sending loads of vibes for Mimzy. I hope his vet consultation goes well tomorrow and that his eye soon becomes lots less sore.
 
Thanks everyone. Jane thank you, I'll look for those tears.
Honestly I hadn't expected any bun to survive the trip so we're still a step ahead, just. Will keep you all updated as I am able. :love: xxxx

I suppose if this was going to happen, better it now when you were already making a trip to the vet with Fiver. Better then having to wait another week then going in twice. I hope their visit goes well and you will be happy with the new vet.

Could there be new things in the environment irritating him? Even pollen that's blown indoors?

I remember using just phone data for a while and how quickly it seemed to disappear! Have you got a library near by you can book free internet time? Useful if you're wanting to keep tabs on what jobs are available in the area. Then there's the free wifi at good old MacDonalds. :p
