Eye Problem?

• Eye Problem? Johnny&Tessy Posted : 11/19/2009 10:01:57 AM I woke up thismorning to find that Tessy's eye looked different.  It seems like her mucous membrane (is that what it's called?) is up over her eye some.  Is this something to be worried about?  She has been battling AIHA/AMHA for the past 9 months.  She had a bath yesterday afternoon and the shampoo I used was a natural organic Tea Tree Oil and Aloe Vera shampoo.  I'm wondering if this might have caused it? In any case I was just wondering is there is cause for concern here.  I've tried to add pictures here several times but for some reason it will not let me....or maybe I don't know how.  I'll add a couple of pics in our profile. Thanks Johnny & Tessy LIKE 1 REPLY 398 VIEWS LAST POST CALLIECRITTURS Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

Could be a bit of dust or most anything -- the vet will have the tools to look not only in the eye but to see if the surface has been injured. Because she's so immune suppressed they'll likely give you an eye ointment.  Good luck! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
