Not sure what has caused this, he didn't think it was a tumour or anything and its unlikely it was caused by a trauma of some sort...he gave her a shot of antibiotics, a steroid shot, steroid eye drops and a course of antibiotics to give her at home over the next week..giving her the eye drops every 2 hours today and then 4 times a day as from tomorrow. We go back again next week.
He couldn't say if her sight would get better or worse or that if it could happen to her left eye...so fingers crossed...i'm more optimistic than i was and i'm just glad to be actually doing something...lets hope it works and there will be some improvement when we go back next week, so i'll give her her meds as instructed and hope its good news next week. 
Thanks for all your kind messages of support and i'll keep you all posted on her progress...hugs to everyone! Kerry & Pixie Pooh xxx | This would be so wonderful if it works! You and Pixie are still in my prayers. I will keep checking in for more good updates.
