Unlove Roxee's scary eye problems

Hi all! I am a little new to this forum! I have been researching on this site for many, many, many months, but now I need to speak to all of the nice people on this site. I received my little furbaby as a wedding gift in July. My little Roxee is an absolute delight. On Tuesday, I brought her in to be groomed. She came home acting totally normal, playing, jumping, running, giving the sweet little kisses, the works. On Wednesday morning, Roxee woke up with quite a bit of goo on and around her eye. I cleaned her up with warm compresses. Later in the day she began to have more goo in and around her left eye. SHe then began to squint. I got really nervous and called the vet. My vet had a surgery day scheduled for today, but he said bring her in, I will see her between or before I start surgeries. My heart almost broke because I would have to leave her alone at the vet's office.

Before I made it home the vet's office called to let me know that he was in with her right then. The vet called me himself about an hour later to let me know that he had stained her eye and checked her really well. He said that she had no damage to the cornea or anything in the eye, but he did find a tiny sty on her lower lid. She will be treated with antibiotics, ointment, and some anti-inflammation meds. He also said that Roxee had several baby teeth left in her mouth that could be pulled if I would like. So, baby Roxee is having her teeth pulled out too!

I will be going to pick her up this afternoon at 4. I can't wait to snuggle with her.

My thanks to all of you on this site who are so helpful and knowledgeable. I researched to see what I thought was wrong with her and so many of you were helpful, without knowing it. I thank you all so very much.

Thank you again,
Thea and Roxee
