Title: Just come back from out of hours vet- again
Post by: alisonandarchie on July 30, 2008, 22:52:46 PM

Archie had yet another visit to the out of hours vet.

He came in at about 10pm with a very sore eye and some facial swelling. We got him to the vets asap and it was the same vet we have seen on Archies several other visits. She is lovely. He was given a good examination and had dye put in his eye etc.

The vet thinks he has an injury just below his eye and its effecting the membranes in the lower part of his eye.

He had various injections and I have to take him back in the morning

yes especially just before you go away.

Do you know how he keeps getting hurt?

The vet thinks that he walked into something sharp like a hedge. This is how he got his eye injury last year that nearly left him blind. Troulble is our garden has lots of bushes and a big hedge. :(

I will have a chat with the vet tomorrow and see if there might be an explanation.

Thank you Everyone.

Just got back from the vets and I am glad I took him promtly last night as the medications have worked and his eye is better. The vet thinks the injury was just below the eye.

Feel so relieved ;D
