Thea has a gunky eye

Wow that has been a long haul for you @Betsy
I’m so glad to hear that Thea is finally clear of her gunky eye.

After 2 vet trips, 5 days of bathing with cold tea twice a day, a 7 day course of Isathal, 2 bottles of Exocin and a "you can't have any more eyedrops unless we do a swab test first" at 150 quid I might add (which I refused), daily bathing of the eye up to four times a day, Viscotears since the last bottle of eyedrops ran out, I pulled this out of Thea's eye this morning. :yikes: :yikes:

This seed head had been in Thea's eye for 3 months! I didn't see it, the vets didn't see it but poor Thea must have been very uncomfortable. I bet she feels a lot better with that gone! I reckon it was the Viscotears, along with the regular bathing that must have finally flushed it out.

No not allergies! It was a massive seed head. It was hidden behind her eyeball. 2 vets couldn't see it and neither could I. She has very thorough weekly checks. It took along time for the seed head to work it's way out of her eye.

That's what I was thinking. When I pulled it out, it definitely came from behind it cos it certainly wasn't in front of it or the 2 vets and I would have seen it much earlier. She squeaked a bit as it came out.

Oh my gosh! That must have been severely uncomfortable, things like that have a weird way a moving through the body, I had a splinter in the bottom of my foot that years later came out the top of my foot lol
 
Just a quick update on this thread. Thea's eye still occasionally needs a bit of wiping with cotton wool and water but otherwise it's OK. There is nothing in it as I have had a good look around it. It isn't yellow gunk that needs wiping away, more like tears from the tear duct. She is such a good girl and demands her coriander afterwards.
 
Ah lovely Thea I’m glad it’s just tears - she is a good girl and deserves a peaceful retirement ❤️🥰
