I will do the rest here at home. If he doesn't seem better by Monday then I will take him back. I have faith that he will be 100% better before Monday.
FYI I used Royal Treatment Italian Pet Spa shampoo which is suppose to be TEARLESS. So much for that! I am going to write them and tell them what happened.
Thanks again for your support. |
I am so happy you took your baby into the vet! Maximo is sadly very experienced with corneal ulcers for a variety of reasons, one of which is bath product related. I only use SPA facial scrub on his head now. Very gentle.
As others have commented above, anything eye related is an emergency. Any redness, yellow or green discharge, discoloration, holding the eye shut, pawing at the eye, overflow of tears are all things that require immediate attention.
Maximo is very lucky to not have any scarring or permanent damage, and it is partially that he is a good healer, but mostly because of constant and immediate vet care.
Wishing Gizmo a speedy recovery.
