rascalsmom Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I posted on 9/29 about Buddy's eye. I certainly did not intend that post to be "diagnosing" anything, I was simply looking for a way to relieve his discomfort UNTIL I got him to the vet. Yesterday I took him to the vet, since he was no better. Indeed, his eye is scratched. I had a feeling it was, as it was just like five years ago. We came home with atropine ointment, plus two types of drops. Happily, it is already looking better. The vet told me to put the e-collar on him, but he really isn't rubbing it very much at all, and that e-collar freaks him out! Poor old fellow, for him to have this happen twice is such a shame. He's a real trooper, though, puts up with all those drops and goop...such a good boy. Hopefully this will clear it up, and this time we will not have to see a specialist!

patricia Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 It WILL clear up quickly and the drops provide pain relief. Our Angel Cody Angelo had a scratched cornea and he was miserable. We got him to the vet within 30 minutes of him scratching himself but it took a full 24 hours for him to feel 100% but the drops did provide comfort immediately for him. We have a large shrub by the deck steps and we saw him brush against it and heard him cry and we trimmed the shrub right away. Sending gentle hugs to sweet Buddy.

Remolacha Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I am glad Buddy is feeling better! I had a cat with a scratched cornea, she was not nearly so cooperative about the eye drops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
