Poor Monty spent the day with uncle Simon yesterday. He had been a little quiet for a few days and his weight had dropped despite only having his teeth filed recently. On Sunday night I found him looking rather sorry for himself. As he came towards me I stared in horror at his eye. It looked very swollen, red and had a discharge around it. I felt around the eye and could feel pressure behind it. He was taken straight to Simon yesterday morning, who has diagnosed a retrobulbar abscess. We are hoping that we will be able to save his eye and he started on zithromas yesterday evening. While at the vets he had x rays taken and his teeth all filed and today he seems much happier. He is having metacam both ends of the day too.

Monty would like to thank everyone who has entered the photo competitions to raise money for the vet bills at the sanctuary as it means he can get the treatment he needs and hopefully be back to full health very soon.
 
Big hugs and healing wheeks... xx
 
Lots of love and healing vibes and Wheeks to Monty x
 
Fingers formly crossed for poor Monty!
 
Oh god Poor Monty, really hope the meds help. I have heard of this happening before due to tooth root issues, is that what has caused Monty's abcesss?

Yes it would seem that that is what has caused this. He seems much happier today and is eating fairly well. I am going to get Simon to check him again tomorrow. He has had three doses of Zithromax so far and is having metacam both ends of the day.
 
HI Debbie

Just caught up with this..I was so caught up with Biscuit I never thought to ask how poor Monty was. I glad he's getting better. We're all sending healing vibes to him. Get well soon little Monty x
 
His eye still looks dreadful but he seems brighter in himself. I am supposed to be taking Bruno to see Simon tonight and Monty tomorrow, but will swap them over and take Monty tonight. Will feel better once Simon has had another look and has said whether he thinks things are improving xx

Just got him out to give him his meds and actually his eye looks somewhat better, I think. I so hope we can get this little guy better again and he doesn't end up losing his eye, although if it comes to that I know he will manage just fine. xx

Oh thats a relief! Lets hope it keeps going in that direction. More healing vibes sent to all of them! x
 
Although the eye itself seems to be bulging a little more, the oedema around the eye seems improved. Simon is thinking the infection is reducing, but obviously we have no way of draining the pus without removing the eye. Therefore we have to hope that with the infection gone the pus will re-absorb. Monty will be staying on Zithromax for three weeks, and we are hoping that the pressure behind the eye will start to slowly reduce in time. Simon has said it could take months but as long as he continues to improve then removing the eye remains as Plan B and will only be done if absolutely necessary. Monty has gained nearly 100g since starting on Zithromax at the start of the week and is very perky and eating incredibly well.
 
Hi Debbie,

Just reading this, sorry crazy wheek! What a shame for sweet Monty, big waves of vibes from the lil household and let's hope the improvement continues.
 
Hi Debbie, I'm really sorry that Monty is so poorly. I didn't see this thread earlier as I'm having my fair share of heartache with Minky & haven't had as much time to look on the forum as I normally would. I know he's in the best of hands with you & Simon cclose by if needed. Get well soon Monty, I'm sending all the healing vibes I can. xx
 
We are all rooting for you Monty. That slave of yours is doing a great job, so make her proud.
 
A quick update on Monty - He's doing very well and his eye is looking very much better. I am feeling much more confident that we will now be able to save his eye. He is seeing Simon tomorrow evening so hopefully he will agree that we are moving in the right direction.
