Hey all,
The past few weeks Reggie has had very itchy eyes, which he is always rubbing.
He has seen the vet twice, the first time he got antibiotic eye drops and the itching went away for a short while, then came back.
The second time they put a yellow dye in his eyes to check for ulcers, and said everything looks fine, no ulcers.
They thought it might be a touch of hayfever so he was given eye drops with both steroids and antibiotics, but these don't seem to be helping at all.
He's always trying to rub them, bless him, and he gets quite kranky. The right eye is also quite swollen now.
He has his neuter surgery booked in for Thursday and the vet is going to have a good look while he is under anaesthetic, because he really won't let anyone look at his eyes otherwise - but in the meantime is there anything we can do to soothe them, and help him out a bit?
We are wiping with very soft cloths & cool water, which seems to help a bit.
Both vets agreed there is no sign at all of entropian or cherry eye.
Thanks in advance!
