Thanks guys, I'm relieved to say the least as I had no idea what he'd done, and being FIV as well, I guess I worry more!

Not sure what's in store for teatime yet, but it will be a tasty treat for my special man  :)

Well I'm pleased to report that the vet is happy with Max's eye now, and we don't have to go back for any more check-ups :cheer:

He doesn't need the drops any more either, well not unless it seems to flare up again, but I'm defo a happy bunny  ;D

Still a bit of a mystery as to why it happened in the first place, and the vet said that the splodge in his eye may take weeks, if not a month or two to completely disappear, but it is fading which is good progress.

Think Maxy boy deserves a nice treat for his dinner tonight  ;)

Well, we went back the vets yesterday and his eye is certainly no worse, fully open all the time and the discharge has stopped, so its just curious about the splodge in the eyeball.  Maybe it is a burst blood vessell or something, guess he could have run into something but had his eye shut, so no trauma to the eye itself?  Who knows  :Crazy:

Anyways, can't be too careful I reckon.  We've got to back again next Wednesday to make sure all is OK, and carry on with the drops and antibiotics as well, but he's being a good boy and co-operating  ;D

Fingers crossed it is nothing serious, and way to go on the weight loss!!

Thanks Desley, I'm really pleased he's lost his 'tyre' as we called it  ;D  He's almost at his target weight now, they said between 5 and 5.2 so its a matter of maintaining it now.  Its almost certainly down to reducing the amount of dry food he eats!

Well, yesterday afternoon Max's eye was looking a bit sore, he was keeping it shut mostly and it was quite watery, so first thing this morning we down at the surgery to get him looked at as I thought it may be conjunctivitis or something like that.  (did call my lady at CP to see if it needed emergency vet, but she didn't think so).

Its actually looking a lot better today, he's keeping his eye open fully all of the time, but he's got a blob on his eyeball, so  not taking any chances we were at the surgery for 8.30.  They are a little stumped though, as he's fine in himself, eating, playing, (jumping off the table every 2 seconds to explore the surgery lol), no temperature, just this funny blob on his eye, almost looks like a burst blood vessel or something as there's no actual trauma to the eye.

They are wondering whether it might be a slight infection of some sort, and being FIV+ they know I/they  don't want to take ANY chances, so we've had a painkiller and antibiotic injection today, with antibiotic tablets to start tomorrow, and eye cream to start tonight, and we're to back on Thursday for another check-up.  Hope my boy is OK and its not the start of anything else  :scared:

The good bit though is that he was weighed while he was there, and he's down from the 5.6k last time to 5.2k, which they are very happy with  ;D
