My beautiful Barley bun is have an eye op this morning 
She's my French Lop X who lives with Alex my NZ white. I cleaned all buns & fed them all last night, & went to give them their Good-night nose-rubs. Barley didn't move away, but just flinched when i touched her nose. She'd been eating fine, so I just gave her a quick check over, then went up for bath & bed.
Kept thinking about her though - when i went back down at about 1am, I checked her over again. Her right eye had a tiny bit of discharge at one side - clear, but when i touched it, it obviously hurt. Her eye socket kind of looked "wrong" - it's hard to explain, but kind of mishapen - compared to other eye. Whizzed her up to emergency vets. Vet suspects an abscess or infection BEHIND the eye. She had pain killers & antibiotics & some eye drops - I brought her home cos she would be more comfy - but she went back first thing. This morning her eye was all gunky, & she's been rubbing it. She was hunched over & clearly in pain She hid from me when I walked in, & Alex was agitated too
So spare vibes please & any advice you have - cos I've not had much experience with ill buns.
