Gah! Now Alice has a scratch on her eye!! U/D - been to the vets

HoneyBear

Mama Doe
Back to the vets tomorrow yaaaay!
I noticed yesterday that she had her eyes closed a lot, she's pretty lazy so thought she was just sleeping!
But just noticed it looks redder than her other eye and has a faint white line on which looks like a scratch :cry:
Can anything else go wrong for her poor little mite!!
She's already on septrin, will this help avoid infection at all till I can get her to the vets, I'm freaking out as my bridge bunny had an abscess in her eye.

charlie had a scratch on his eye and it was fine. get it checked but hopefully it will hael on its own:D
 
When Poppy got a scratch on her eye (probably poked it with hay :roll:) The vet gave me Tiacil which are antibiotic eyedrops, so I would guess if she is already on systemic antibiotics, she may be OK. Could you not have a telephone consultation..it may save you a trip to the vets with her if she doesn't need additional antibiotic eyedrops.
 
After examining with that funny light thing, JC will probably give you the ointment/drops beginning with Fuc ....... and recommend bathing with cold tea (at least that is what happened when one of my rabbits had a scratch on his eyeball - amazing soothing/healing properties has cold tea).
 
Called the vets he said bring her in as will need antibiotics direct into the eye.
Unfortunately not seeing JC tomorrow as couldn't fit an appointment in around my work hours :(
 
Ouch :cry: poor Alice! I hope she feels better soon, a sore eye is no way to get set uo in the love game!
 
I'm taking her to my local vets in Fareham instead as have to work tomorrow, they are pretty good but no JC haha!

Ahhhh okay, I'm sure they'll sort it :) I expect it's fairly common among small furries with burying their heads in their hay! :lol:
 
Been to the vets, she now has eye drops to add onto her list of other medication!
Bit concerned as the vet said he's almost certain that Bear has done it to her as quite straight and deep :cry:
My poor little girl when is she going to get a break!
 
Oh poor llittle Alice. I hope it wasn't bear. Is she wary of him. If not maybe it wasn't or just an accident.

Hope she gets better soon. Im currently administering five meds in the morning. If she improves it will all be worth it. Good luck. X

No there still loved up as ever! He hasn't shown any sign of agression at all apart from being a bit 'humpy' but he does that from time to time. Bit worried about leaving them now as I work full time.

Alice now stamps her feet and runs away when I open the cupboard her medicine is in :lol:
 
Maybe it wasn't him them since she's not bothered and still in love. Poor little cutie getting the blame.

Alice has learnt pretty quick. Doughnut begs for her weetabix, she's still oblivious!
