Thanks Ann! She said she couldn't say.
I kinda thought it was from wrestling with the others because the other day he really let out a big yelp. But really I don't know either. He was just holding his eye shut last nite/ this am. I called 1st thing this am even though I have an appt tomorrow for shots but I was just worried and the earliest they could get me in was 2:20. I went to work for a few hours this am and left my 15 year old in charge just to watch him. I called every hour cause I was so worried. Anyways, he ate & drank fine but was just not acting like himself. By the time I got home he had some yellowish goop in his eye. I think it was yellowish instead of green. I was gonna wash him up but then decided that maybe the vet should see it. I just feel like maybe I should've insisted that they see me earlier in the day. I don't know......But he does seem to be doing a little bit better. He's already starting to perk and he's opening his eye although it looks pretty ugly right now. I hope I see a big difference in the am! They all go in for shots tomorrow but I'm thinking that I am going to just have the vet look at his eye again and wait until he's feeling a bit better before shots. Poor baby!
