Simon Has A Corneal Ulceration :( I thought he had allergies and today when we woke up his eye was swollen so I took him to the vet this afternoon. He has a bad corneal ulceration and I feel horrible! The vet said it was still superficial and should heal with medication. He also said he was glad I didn't wait any longer. I have to give him an antibiotic ointment once a day and antibiotic drops every hour until I go to work tomorrow then when I come home for lunch then every hour until I work on Wed. This goes on until we go back to the vet Thursday afternoon. He also had to have all the hair shaved from around his eye and has to wear a cone if he starts to mess with his eye. I feel so bad, I really didn't think it would be this bad. I thought it was watery and itchy just from allergies. I feel like a bad mom~I'm going to try to take tomorrow afternoon off work too so I can be home. |
awww, poor Simon . . . . so with medication this will completely heal? I hope so . . . . Annika and Tiger sends warm hugs :) |
You're not a bad mom...Anyone could have thought it was allergies! Poor Simon!! Does it look like it hurts? I hope it heals really quickly!! |
The vet wants to see improvement from the meds on Thursday when we go back. He said it was still superficial so that is good news. It really does look painful especially today and after his hair was shaved. It's very red and swollen but wouldn't you know that little rascal is still playing ball and barking at squirrels!! |
Thank goodness it was superficial!! I'm sure his eye will heal fast, and Simon never skips a beat does he? LOL :) |
Poor little Simon. I had tears in my eyes reading this. Do you have to do the drops at night. If you do, you are going to be one tired little puppy until Thursday is over. |

Bad mom? You're nuts! You saved the day getting him there so quickly. Does the vet think it's an injury, or is it something else? |
Bad mommy? Until someone starts making a bubble suit that we can fill with a wee bit of helium to soften their falls------accidents happen. I cringe everytime Milo goes flying off the back of the couch..........and no, Pete Doherty is not one of his buddies.:p |
oh poor Simon and poor mommy.... i know how horrible you must feel! i would too!! but just be glad you got him in when you did! you'd feel even worse if you waited!!! and now it will go away quickly and hopefully his pain will be gone soon! oh and i wish you ALL the best getting those eye drops in... i don't think i can imagine anything more difficult... it is hard enough to get meds in Layla's mouth i can't imagine her eyes!! how is that going??? :p I hope he doesn't have to put that stupid cone on!!! he a good boy simon and DON"T SCRATCH!!! Keep us posted! any idea what cuases something like that?? like sand in the eye or something??/ |
Oh no! You are a VERY good Mommy getting there so fast. Fingers crossed it goes away really soon :( |
You're not a bad mom!!! You love your Simon and did well to get him in to the vet as soon as you saw something wasn't right. It's good that it's superficial, it will heal faster. Sending kisses and hugs to you Simon, get better!!! |
Poor baby. I am glad your vet says the medicine will clear it up. Hopefully Simon wont have to wear a cone |
OK I just got the first round of drops in and WOW what a fight I had. My arms are bleeding from scratches and I finally had to put him in a headlock between my eyes to get 1 drop in. It took 20 min!! My neighbor is going to help me when she gets home, do you think she will be available from 11pm-7am tomorrow? :rolleyes: I don't care though, as long as the monkey starts getting better. That's all that matters |
You're a wonderful Mommy! I'll bet Simon didn't know WHAT was happening when you put the eye drops in:p I'll be thinking about Simon (and you) and hoping he's MUCH better Thursday. |
