RiverStar-Aura Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I get home from work about 30 minutes ago to have my youngest brother tell me to have a look at Kirah's left eye. I do and this is what I see: and I won't be off work until Tuesday, however, I'd prefer to know what it is I'm dealing with here. There isn't any discharge coming from her eyes and they seem pretty clear -- this problem doesn't even seem to be phasing her at all either. Since I live in a house of morons, who couldn't even be bothered to call me at work (I could've told them to take her to the vet today for me), I thought I'd post here to get some opinions and help. Is there anything I can do for Kirah between now and Tuesday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadbury Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Ummm I think I would be getting some saline and flush her eye out - making sure there is no Dirt/eyelash/etc.etc. If you cant get to the Vet or get someone to take her I would be heading off to the chemist to get some Golden Eye Ointment and using that in the meantime......if things get worse or if she is distressed head straight to the Vet.

RiverStar-Aura Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 Thanks for that Kadbury. I'll go flush her eye out now with saline and pop out to the Chemist for some of the eye ointment you've mentioned. I wish I wasn't working tomorrow so that I could get her to the vet.

RiverStar-Aura Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) I tried my best to flush her eye out; she's not the most cooperative patient as she gets scared. I used a spare sauce bottle I found in our Tupperware cupboard and washed it (the bottle) in boiling water to sterilise. My poor girl!

Kadbury Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Did you get the Eye ointment ? If flushing her eye made her nervous then leave it and just use the ointment. Maybe edit your post - it sounds a bit like you flushed her eye with boiling water....I know you didn't BUT :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverStar-Aura Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) :laugh: I edited my post because I see what you mean! I did get the eye ointment too and have administered that for overnight. I'm really hoping this turns out to be nothing. Poor Kirah's been in the wars this past week; first an upset stomach and diarrhoea and now this Edited September 30, 2012 by RiverStar-Aura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becks Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I'd run if you came at my eye with a sauce bottle - maybe try an eye dropper instead or one of those saline bottles used for contact lenses (I mean the one a day phials not the spray bottles!)

persephone Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I usually soak a tissue or swab in saline , and rip it gently into the corner ..with my hand in the centre of dog's head .. obviously cold liquid is a shock .. so room temp or SLIGHTLY warm is more comfortable :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverStar-Aura Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 Kirah's eye cleared up over night but I've been keeping a close watch on it for the past 2 days. All seems to be going well and I appreciate all the helpful suggestions. Looking back, the sauce bottle probably wasn't ideal, but I couldn't think of another way to flush her eye -- I was worried so brain sort of stopped functioning. I did use lukewarm water though because I was flushing it at night and it was a cool evening. And I'll definitely head out and buy an eye dropper to have on hand incase I ever need to flush an eye out again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maltese11 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Looks like cherry eye to me. My Maltese sometimes gets it and I just simply lightly massage the corner of his eye and it goes back in. Cotton bud with warm water I use to rid the tears from the corner of his eye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kajtek Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 An old eye treatment used by my grandmom ages ago for humans/horses/dogs/cats/etc 1) Get some organic tea leaf 2) Brew a very very strong tea 3) Bath eyes with cool tea brew It seemed to work well.
