Yesterday afternoon I noticed he was squinting after he woke up from his naps...but after being fro a couple mins he would be fine, as the day went on it took longer for him to reopen it, by nine last night he wouldn't open it and it was red a swollen:scared:I started freaking out that it was cherry eye, so we went to bed and he cuddled right next to my all night:luv:loved it but that is so not him he is not a big cuddler had a rough night didn't sleep well.

Got up at 8 so I could call the vet right away and get him in asap....had to be there at 10, they checked to see if he had scratched it nothing, not cherry eye either they think that he just bumped it really had and that is why it is so irritated and swollen...so he is on drops three times a day for the next week now :( poor baby just sleeps so he don't have to open his eye wish I could do more for him....Wish my luck on getting these drops in his eye he hates it and is such a wiggle butt!!:lol: Will keeep you all posted as to how he is doing

Awww... hope he gets well soon!!! I worry about Arwen bumping into stuff... she always is running into stuff with her head... it doesn't phase her, so i doubt she'll stop hitting stuff. Does Louie do that too? Just wondering, cause I may have to deal with this in the future. :)

No he just plays quite rough with Zoey, our 1yr old bully:cursing: and he is always running under the pine trees and bushes like a crazy dog :lol:

Glad it's better, sometimes it just takes giving the medicine a chance to work.

Here is an updated on my Baby Louie....I called the vet today cause it just doesn't seem to be getting better...one minute it looks good and then all of a sudden it's bright red and swollen and he won't keep it open...the vet said to stop the drops and bring him in tomorrow to recheck his eye...:( I have to admit I am concerned and a bit of a worry wart so mind always goes to worst case all the time...prayers that they can figure out what is up and get it taken care of would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone...I will update later tomorrow night on what we find out as I don't go in til 4:30 and then I have open house for my boys at school tomorrow night...

SO, we went to the vet this afternoon and they did the eye stain test again and this time it showed a BIG spot on his eye:eek::eek:, so now he is on TWO different drops! She is treating it aggressively since it s big spot and because of the breed being notorious for not healing quickly, to avoid scaring!!! POOR Louie, I feel so bad for him :cry: he goes back Tuesday afternoon to have it rechecked and get his next round of puppy shots!! I sure hope that he heals quickly without anymore complications!! :pray::pray: he gets some relief and this medicine heals him quickly!! Thanks all for you concern for my baby Louie!!
