Aw no, that's such a shame I'm sure she'll be fine if she does need the op. She couldn't be in better hands with you

Thank you everyone. I don't know if it's a fluke but her eye is less protruding today and the swelling gone down, hopefully this is a good sign and it will continue. Maybe it's the metronidazole making a difference I'm not sure! We'll get the results of the swab by Wednesday as it's a culture so 5-7 days so fingers crossed we've found the best abx.
Thank you all admittedly I don't take many photos of them as Jake is so nosey he's always right up to the camera or moving! They are a beautiful pair Her eye still looks ok, compared to when it was at its worse.
Metronidazole is a antibiotics and I think works for some parasites too, not sure about fungal but the 'zole' bit at the end certainly sounds like fungal?? Antifungals can effect the liver more readily, I was on fluconazole for a long time and liver was a worry. We use it at work for mainly infections to do with the gut. The exotic referral vet explained about baytril working well in the bone, and like it works alongside other abx well despite if it's resistant, something about letting the other abx in, she explained it much better of course!!
Thank you again for all the vibes xx
That's good to know thanks! Yeah Jasmine was on it trying to treat her antibiotic induced enterotoxemia
