Nikki, I had a similar situation years ago with one of my puppies. The eye looked much the same as the pic. She had anesthetic drops, prednisone drops and antibiotic oint. that I had to rotate every 1-2 hours. Her eye cleared up fine and she is an adult with 2 good eyes.
As for surgery at that age--had to do that too. I had a little female in my second litter many years ago and she developed a HUGE femoral hernia. I was so concerned about strangulation that I insisted one of the most experienced vets in the practice do her surgery. She recovered completely and was a happy healthy girl in about 3 days...
These babies are very resilient...the eye turns that color when it gets traumatized..seems that is part of how it handles the hurt.
Good luck with her and the rest of the younguns.. |
