Hi All,
Sorry if this a bad forum to post this in, but I am new and just guessed.
My name is Catherine and my husband, daughter and I welcomed our very very handsome boy (10 weeks old), Otis, into our family over the past weekend. After one day, he developed a cherry eye. The breeder warned us that this may happen and told us to call them and they'd bring him into their vet to have it taken care of. They appear to be super knowledgeable people who have been doing this awhile so we went ahead and had them bring Otis to their vet for surgery yesterday. He came home later that day looking much better and very sleepy. We received eye ointment to put in his eyes 3x per day for 3 or 4 days. This morning his eye still looks a little swollen to me. There is still a pocket there although it is much much smaller than it was. I contacted the breeder to see if this was normal. She essentially said, just keep giving him the eye meds and we will see how it looks tomorrow. I just want to do right by my guy. I've only ever had boxers before and they have never had issues with cherry eye so this is completely new to me. Does all this sound normal? Should I expect him to have a swollen pocket for a bit? Any advice/experience is very appreciated. Or if you can direct me where to post this, I'd appreciate that to. I am excited to have found this site and to find guidance through y'all!!
Thanks in advance,
Catherine
