This morning, I noticed Teddy squinting. I took a closer look at noticed his eyes were a little bloodshot. I cleaned his eyes as I do each morning and put in his top knot. About 1/2 hour later, I noticed he was still squinting. I called my vet and brought him in.

They stained his eyes and he has corneal abrasions on both eyes and needs an eye antibiotic ointment and a repeat visit in two days to check on it. My vet told me eyes are nothing to wait on, and that sometimes by the time people come home from work, the eye is starting to ulcerate.

I am so glad I brought him in. My vet said the eye scratches were shallow and looked fresh with no ulcer starting. However, had I waited, who knows what might have been!

How did it happen? I don't know...he goes outside for about 10-15 minutes a day in our yard. I am thinking he got a little too close to the oregano plant which has sticks and maybe brushed up against it. I don't think it was the rose bushes because she said they were very superficial.
