Gypsy's eye is all cloudy : - (((

The cloudiness is actually the eyes way of healing itself. I assume the vet gave you anti-biotic drops to go in it, as well as an oral anti-biotic? If not you need to get them for her.
 
No, my vet was USELESS!!!! he sent her home all wobbbley and frightened as she had only just woken up from the GA!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: :x I only got oral antibiotics, which are prooving near impossible to get in her :( even if I manage to squirt them in her mouth she won't swollow them and just lets it run out! :shock: :? I was just thinking today that she should have got eye drops as well :?
 
Hi Rainbow.
When you say her eye is cloudy do you mean 'gunky' or do you mean that the actual eye is going cloudy?
Did your vet check that there were no scratches on the Cornea?
Were you given any antibiotic drops for her eye aswell as oral abx?
I would take her back to the Vet in the morning just to be on the safe side.
Sounds like she could do with some more pain relief too.

It's hard to tell, I think it may be gunky, it looks like white snot ( :oops: sorry!)
No, the vet didn't give me any eye drops for her :( while I'm there I hope he can give her antibiotic injections as well as I just can't get it into her properly :(
looks like I will have to TELL the vet what to do to get any sort of help for Gypsy :( my other vet was so good, why did she have to leave? :(
 
GGGGRRRR can't get an appointment until tomorrow :cry: I hate to think of Gypsy in pain :( all around her eye it's swollen and misshapen, I hope it will go back to normal once healed.
 
For the time being, there is a natural tear drop called celluvisc, it's natural and has no artificial substance, you can use it as many times as you want. It's not a medicine or it won't make her healing faster, but it comfort her eyes.

You notice she is irritate by the itch, you can use this type of natural tear drop. It's perfectly safe, and I use it myself whenever I have dry eye due to dry weather. Go to the drug store and ask for any brand name of natural tear drop, it's about $10 or so.
