Squinting eye- NOT BETTER!

• Squinting eye- NOT BETTER! Disarray29 Posted : 7/19/2007 10:45:19 PM After going outside tonight Emi cannot keep her left eye open.  If it is open she is squinting.  I don't know if she scratched it or if there is something in there, I didn't see anything when I looked at it.  I thought it would have been better by now, but this happened a few hours ago and she is still keeping it closed.  Should I bring her to the vet tomorrow?

• janet_rose Posted : 7/20/2007 4:20:48 AM Disarray29 Should I bring her to the vet tomorrow?  If it is not better by morning, I would definitely take her to the vet.  Eyes are very delicate and you don't want to take any chances with her sight.   I would give Benadryl just in case the problem was a insect bite/sting.   Benadryl - Dosage: 1-2mg/lb of body weight 2-4 times/day 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• rwbeagles Posted : 7/20/2007 9:18:12 AM I would rinse with sterile saline...if there's a foreign object it may come out. I usually do this the first day, three times a day and use an antibiotic opthalmic ointment I picked up at JBpet I think. If it's the same the 2nd day we go in. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Disarray29 Posted : 7/20/2007 10:46:25 AM Ok, we are back from the vet.  It was a horrible experience.  She bit the vet tech when she put her on the scale, I was so embarrassed!  She does have a scratch on her eye, they put dye in there and I got to see the green spot which was kinda cool.  She has some ointment and pain med. , recheck on Monday.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• rwbeagles Posted : 7/20/2007 10:58:52 AM Sounds like what Sandy had. She had a round dot in there Vet gave us Atropine which dilated the eye and then an antibiotic. We did that for 7 days and then she was taken off them. She did heal well...tiny white speck and that's it. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Disarray29 Posted : 8/7/2007 11:58:47 AM At the last vet visit, the vet said her eye healed really well and to discontinue medication.  However, it is really watery all the time.  I have started back with the ointment they gave me, but it doesn't seem to be helping.  Do you think she needs to go back? 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Pam Posted : 8/7/2007 4:25:34 PM There are several homeopathy remedies for eyes.  Note sure about the spelling but Sympaticum is for bruises and such to the eyeball, THUJA is a good eye remedy., ACONITE.   I've had several dog eye injuries/problems and made a mix of 1 oz sterile water and add 4 drops EYEBRITE and 4 drops CALENDULA,,,shake and pour on a cotton ball and squeeze into the eye.  This was in addition to or after the vets eye cream used.    I would definiety be giving extra vitiamins Vit E 400mg, C 500mg (slowly build to prevent the runs), Vit A 10,000 (every day or other day)      0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
