Young Bun
Hi Guys,
Would really appreciate some advice.
A few months ago I noticed a small white mark on gremlins eye.to cut a long story short I took him to the vet, tried 3 different antibiotics, a steriod and he went in for a general to check his teeth and a good look at his eye. the mark gets smaller but never goes away. but diagnosed an ulcer on the cornea.
My vet then referred me to an opthamologist who agrees with first diagnosis. he then under local scratched the eye to encourage it to heal and gave more antibiotics but still the mark is still there. the vet then said maybe a virus is preventing it from healing and also there is marking on his other eye this week. he said the herpes virus as is common in other pets but he had never seen it in a bun before.
he wanted to give zoviorax but wasnt sure if if it was suitable for buns? he is asking his colleagues and researching as am I! and we are going back on wed to decide the action plan.
All along bun has been his normal happy self, eating drinking pooing adn playing as normal.
Questions
1 Has any had similar experiences?
2. Anyone heard of zoviorax used in buns before?
3. other option is to have surgery but high chance of it not working or losing an eye
Any experiences/ advice appreciated.
