Possible conjunctivitis

[dfmccitroen]

I have had my bulldog at the vets and she has been diagnosed with conjunctivitis, she is 2 years old.
She is constantly blinking and her eye is wet, not swallon and not gunky! and she does not seem in pain just irritated, she has been on her second different type of medication for 4 days but it does not seem to be getting any better, just wondered if any1 has had any issues like this with their bully and what they did to cure it?
Posted a pic below of her just in general hope u all like her.

What a sweetie she is. Good luck with the eye problems as we've had no issues with the eyes...save a cherry eye @ 6 months. Love the name "Fergie" - my married name is Ferguson.

what a sweety.... have they checked her eye lashes to see if any of them are inverted?

Hmm… have they checked her for entropion?!! That is when the eyelashes irritate the eye and cause ulcers...

I use colloidal silver on Hilda's eyes ,works well

Hi yes her lashes are fine apparently, I have rung my vet and I am now set to be on my 3rd different type of drops which is not very convincing to b honest, my vet has always been spot on with other issues but now I'm starting to wonder!

Oh look at her all snug as a bug

Eyes can be tricky, you may want to seek help from a vet opthomologist. Have you tried giving her benedryl for the wet eyes ? Seems like she would be gunky if she had conjunctivitis. She may have a single lash poking her eye too. Did they do a dye test in her eye and take a really good look?

OMG she is a DOLL!!!! Just look at her.

Hi
Yes I was there whilst a dye test was taken it showed no signs of an ulcer, which she has had before in the same eye, I thought maybe something might be stuck in her eye, or even a scratched cornea but I think the dye would have shown that up. I'll have to see how she goes over the next week and take it from there.

Take her to an opthomologist .We had entropion surgery done twice on our male and it didn't help all the way so off to the eye doctor we went and he had eyelashes on the inside of his lid under some tissue and he cut them out and its better but he may need to go back still.

We live in preston Lancashire does anybody know of any opthomologists in this area

My bully breeder lives near there.
Near bury. She travels to a good vet.
Do you want me to put you in contact with her

I have been to the vets again and I have had some drops given to me that numb the eye,
He has given me these and said if the blinking stops after use then it is more than likely that she will need entropium surgery, does any1 know the estimated cost of this surgery?

that is what I was thinking... I have n experience with the procedure, but othere here have and will chime in

I'd be very wary of having her put under as I have read there is a higher risk of the dog not coming round due to small air ways, any thoughts on that guys??
