So Honey has another check with the vet tomorrow. This is her eye today. Alot less red and swollen but not sure what it should look like to be honest. It's alot better than it was.
Hope she's OK at the vet today Lucy x

Thanks for all your support! The vet says it's doing OK but wants to see her again next week to check the stitches aren't irritating her eyeball. He put some dye in and it showed a little irritation but with her eye drops it should be ok. He unfolded something he'd done last week.... Part of the third eyelid I think to keep the tear duct in place. It seems to have done the job. Looks better this evening than this morning.

I hope it continues to heal up well Lucy.
Your vet seems very competent

Phew !!! So pleased that it was nothing too serious. I am sure she'll feel a lot more comfortable now the stitches are not irritating her eye.

Wasn't as bad as I thought. Two stitches hadn't dissolved and we're irritating her eye so he put local anaesthetic in her eye and removed them. Looks better now and hopefully swelling will go down over the next week
Great news Lucy!
I wonder why those stitches hadn't dissolved? Maybe a matter of time?
