| What else is gonna happen? I think I am going to have to take Wookie to the vet AGAIN tomorrow. His eyes have been more gunky than usual the past week, but this weekend I notice him not holding one eye open as much as the other and blinking it a lot. Today there is a little more stuff coming out of it than the other and have seen him rub it a couple times. I guess maybe either a scratch, infection (stuff seems to be maybe starting to be slightly yellow) allergies or something. So since Oct, he has had emergency exploratory surgery, discovered he has luxating patella, had struvite crystals in his urine and continues to have alkaline pH and now this! I don't have kids, but I think this must be pretty close to what its like!! It doesn't help that I get online and start trying to diagnose everything myself and get all worked up over what it could be!!! (Does anyone else do this?) Oh, and I also have been stressing over his food since his pH is so off. Think I have decided that I am going to do a rotating diet of kibble and raw (he won't eat canned or I would alternate with that too). Thanks for the comments I got on that decision!

| it could be pink eye- Layla had that- it was horrible. But she got drops and it cleared it up almost instantly. Poor little guy. Hope it is something that is easily fixed! |

| is his eye goopy??? kinda yellow green colored?? Wash your hands often- you can catch it from him. Try and get him into the vet as soon as possible. Day 1 Layla had the goopy eye and she woke up day 2 with her eye crusted shut (gross.. i know) if this happens in the morning use a warm wash cloth and SLOWLY work everything off his eye- do not force it open. |
