Uh oh... Back to the Vet

Last night I noticed it looked like Sogna's eye was running. All down her cheek. I picked her up to try to show Jon, and when I tried to touch it to feel the consistency, she freaked out. "Maybe it's just because she doesn't like being held."

Thinking I was panicking over nothing, I decided to leave her be over night, and see how it looked in the morning, thinking, maybe Biffy just licked her eye when his mouth was still wet from the greens.

After a pretty sleepless night for me, her eye looked just the same in the morning. I was petting her, and tried to touch it again. She jerked her head away and ran, but I got to feel it: Hard and dry.

I'm not sure if she's jerking her head away because it's sensitive, or because she doesn't like being touched there. Could be either or both.
We're going to the vet Saturday afternoon. Please keep all paws crossed it's not an abscess. My little angel girl does not deserve that after all she's been through and how strong she's been. And after the tremendous recovery she's made in the past two years.

That's all for now. Everyone and everybun try to stay well.

  2. Fingers crossed here too.
    I had a bunny who had that often, and thankfully every time i took him to the vet it turned out to just be a clogged tear duct, once my vet unclogged it, he was fine for a good while, until it got clogged again. Not sure what caused it, but i hope yours is something as minor.

  4. our paws are crossed here Lisa :)
    Wesley got a hair in his eye last year and it all puffed up and turned red. One visit to our homeopathic vet and a tiny bottle of Eyebright and a few 'bathes' and it was better in a week.

  5. Ok, sweetie, paws all crossed here. There are many fairly simple etiologies possible, our bet it is one of them.

  6. Thanks for the encouragement everybun. I'm hoping it's no big deal, but it's in my nature to worry about the worst case scenario.

  8. Paws and ears crossed. Sugie just had a tear duct flushing and it helped. Same kinda thing with a runny eye. She did great and eye is all better. I'm hoping for the same with Sogna.
