The bun I'm looking after has trouble with a blocked tear duct - posted a thread about her yesterday.
The owner mentioned before I went that bun is fine having her eye fussed and 'picked' at - did wonder at the time what she meant as the eye looked clear other than being wet.
Today bun has a nice buildup of gunk around the bottom of her eye :? I've bathed it and about to put Vaseline on the skin underneath but think it's a bit late as it looks SO sore and is missing the fur
Also noticed that her eyelid looks slightly mishaped at the top, and looking at the inside it seems slightly raised and redder than the one on her normal eye :? Could this be linked to the tear duct problem or be something seperate (ulcer or something?)
My other worry is that one of her ears looks very dry and flakey and she's lost some of the fur on it. The other looks fine and I can't see any other fur loss or flakey patches on her. Could this be mites, and if so can my buns catch it? I've got some Ivermectin here I could treat her with, and some antifungal & antibacterial shampoo incase it's worth bathing it with that too?
