Burpdog Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 (edited) Since coming home from Abilene last year (could be coincidental), Huston has had some discharge from his right eye. Forms, hardens and sits there until I take it off. Nothing terrible, two vets have looked at it over the months and could see nothing wrong. I thought perhaps a sand partical from running in the sprint runs. Last week it escalated getting very goopy and the other eye started a little. I flushed with saline and it got better but I still made an appointment with the eye specialist. Went in yesterday. The majority of the exam was unremarkable. Then he did some test to see about drainage (into the nose?) and it wasn't running properly. So, he stuck a needle (no, I do NOT watch eyes) in somewhere and flushed. Out came this yucky string of goop. What ever he did unclogged something (no, not the tear duct). Big medical name and when I get the report, I'll update Hopefully this will fix it. Drops for 2 weeks and then I will call vet. If this doesn't work, they have to backflush thru the nose (my little bendy boy's nose ) to clear whatever is there. So praying this is fixed!

MerlinsMum Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Ugh. Sounds nasty. Poor sweetheart. Hopefully Huston will be on the mend soon, now that he has those drops. Hope you'll be able to leave that cute schnoz alone! :goodluck Quote Kerry with Lupin in beautiful coastal Maine.

Guest Snowy8 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Oh my gosh! And by the way, I have not seen a picture of Huston lately...gooky eye & all! Just out of curiosity...would this have anything to do with his roman nose? Just wondering if it has an effect on sinus & tear drainage.

Gr8NCGreys Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Huston I cant wait to meet him next week. We will have a black and white Roman nose picture with Deniro and Huston for sure. Deniro gets some crusties (nothing major) sometimes too. I wonder if it could be the Romas nose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burpdog Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 I forgot part of the story! While we were waiting (those who have been to an eye specialist know waiting is parting of the game), I look over and I see discharge from Huston's hoo hoo. Wipe it with a paper towel and it's nice and green Wiped it several times during the visit and green. So when Huston got home, he got a hoo hoo wash.....poor guy Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
