 My Roxie has a scratched cornea
Boy when it rains it pours! Friday night I notice Roxie was keeping her left eye closed. I had bathed her earlier and thought maybe I had gotten shampoo in her eye.
We were in the middle of a bad snow storm and the roads were bad.I debated taking her to the ER vet but with road conditions I was afraid. I had some BNP ointment and put that in until I could safely get her to the vet the next morning. After I put the ointment in she settled down and slept all night.
The vet opens at 8 but the appointments don't start until 9. They said I could bring her right in and one of the vets was there and would see her. They did the stain test and she has a superficial scratch on her cornea. The vet put her on Tobramycin drops and she is doing much better.
While I was checking out, the vet I usually see was at the counter and she said how many times have you been here this week? I said this is my 4th. I said I'm just going to leave my Visa card here. She said they would put a cot in one of the rooms for me. lol
Roxie goes back Tuesday for another stain test.
Pixie has shown no improvement with being on the enalapril as far as her being depressed. She goes to the specialist 2/4.
I would appreciate prayers and positive thoughts for my babies. Thanks |
