Hiya everyone,

I noticed last night that the fur around Saffron's left eye was quite damp. It just seems to be in the corner of the eye. I have checked her eye and that seems fine, its just the fur that is wet.

This morning it was the same, if not a little wetter? She seems fine in herself.

Should i get her to the vets or keep and 'eye' on it??

Thanks in advance
 
I would make an appointment for the Vets. A watery eye is often a sign of a dental problem. Best get it sorted ASAP :)

she may have something in her eye..a bit of dust or similar..you could try bathing it with some cooled boiled water....she may have poked herself in the eye with some hay....or could be first sign of teeth problem...I'd keep a watch on it for a couple of days and if no better get a vet to have a look
 
Double check her eyes to be sure there isnt a stray strand of fuzz in her eye :wink: Simba and Nala have had that before and at first glance i dont notice it but if u get the light shining the right way on their eye i have found a fine strand of fur on their eye. Once removed their fur around their eye dries up.. i hope thats all it is and there isnt any dental probs. If you cant see anything on their eye at all and no fur poking the corners of their eye etc then as said probably best to get their teeth checked :wink: :?
 
only just seen this

gus had a "wet eye" which i thought wasnt usual - we had it checked out and he had an abscess behind his eye

i'd get it checked out just to be on the safe side
