| You can put saline solution in her eye to wash it out a few times a day to help the redness, her not playing & acting normal I don't whats going on, is she eating & drinking, pooping & peeing like normal.

YT Addict | I would take her in to the vet, it could be just an allergen closing it, but you need to make sure. You can fluch the eye with a over the counter steril saline eyewash. To make sure there is nothing in the eye. you may need a antibiotic eye ointment. You can find this at Discount Pet Supplies, Pet Supply, Online Pet Supplies I have use it on mine before. Good luck. |

| Thanks for the tip. I was just reading about eye gunk and she has this very bad also, then someone mentioned her being dehyradted. She doesn't drink a lot of water on a daily basis. What should I do? |

| JulieTimothy, thanks for the advice. I'm going to try to rinse it out, and if I don't think it's helping, I am going to take her to the vet. My baby's eyes are too big, brown and pretty to be hurting! Thanks again. |

| I'm not positive how much she weighs, at her last vet visit she only weighed 5.14 lbs and that was on Feb. 13, I got on the scales holding her and I think she weighs 8lbs. Is that too much weight gained in two months? I have tried to pick her up and put her in front of the water bowl, I also tried putting some in my hand and putting in front of her. She would not drink |
