so I took Lily & Zoe on one of our "walks" today, and Zoe had been rolling around in dirt, and I noticed when she was sitting on a tree stump, she was rubbing her eye. Well she's still rubbing her eye, at midnight, so about 11 hours. She'll open it sometimes, but she keeps it closed a lot of time. I looked at when its open, still bright green so I think she just needs to rinse it out. She's so much more squirmy that Lily, and very hard to treat for anything, but I did manage to take a cotton ball soaked in that boric acid stuff (Nutri-Vet eye rinse) and squeezed it over her eye. Hopefully that'll clear it? Anyway how long till I should really worry? And have to take her to the vet? Because like I said, when its open it doesn't look irritated or red.
She's cut her lip on a rock doing this and has gotten specs of dirt and such in her eyes before, but it's never bothered her longer than a day or so. I'm sure it will clear up, the eyes are the fastest healing body part afterall. However, if it persists and doesn't improve whatsoever, I'd say a vet visit wouldn't hurt. Generally if you get crud in your eyes, when you sleep, you'll inevitably "cry" the crud out; which is what happens to specter.
) today, only squints it a little bit. So definitely an improvement. I'm guessing she had some sand or dirt in there and finally got it out, but it probably scratched it some. So I'm guessing by tomorrow she will be 100% again. It certainly isn't bothering her though she's out and about doing her "Zoe things"
