Any advice on soothing a very bad pea eye?

[Tatee82]

Hi all,

Oreo is 8 years old and her pea eye is getting very bad. She’s too old for laser surgery or any surgery in general. Any advice on how to soothe it a bit? It must be so uncomfortable vet just gave us a lubricant for the eye a few months back but now it’s getting larger and her eye is almost shut.

Thanks

I’d take piggy back to the vet and see what they say.

Poor baby! I don't have any solutions, but I wish you the best of luck with figuring something out.

Yeah I’ll try, I think they only see emergencies right now but hopefully they can help over the phone

Oh poor little lady, hope you can get her some relief from this, such a shame x

Eyes usually count as emergencies at the vets, so I think if you send photos they will help you out

Hi!

Please have that seen by your vet again. There could be an infection.

Two of mine, Squiggle & Tiggy had eye infections/inflammation, they were prescribed either Tiacil or Clinigel eye drops & Loxicom for a week.


this is Tiggy after treatment. Picture was taken the next day.
(although their eyes weren't affected as badly as your little lady's appears to be) Both girls are back to normal now with no problems.

I'd definitely ring the vets today & ask to email photos in, hopefully they'll heal quickly
Oh edit... An appointment today is perfect xx

The longer eyes are left untreated, the more chance of complications occurring
Ask the vet if you can have some Loxicom (painkiller/anti inflammatory) too, as I expect it's painful.

Let us know how you get on. Good luck xx
