About 2.5 Weeks ago Bobbie has been having discharge, puss, swollen, red painful looking eyes. At first he wouldn’t open his left eye however now as of yesterday he will not open his right one either. He basically has them glued shut
I'm sorry to hear that Bobbie is experiencing such discomfort. Based on the symptoms and the images you've provided, it appears that Bobbie might be dealing with a significant eye infection. The redness, swelling, discharge, and the fact that he is keeping his eyes closed are concerning signs that need prompt attention.
Here are a few steps you can take at home to help alleviate some of his discomfort until you can get him to a veterinarian:
First, gently clean the discharge from his eyes using a warm, damp cloth. Be very gentle to avoid causing further irritation.
Since you have Terramycin, continue applying it as directed by your veterinarian. This antibiotic ointment can help manage bacterial infections.
You can also use artificial tears, specifically those containing hyaluronic acid, to help keep his eyes lubricated and to flush out any irritants. Apply these drops 2-3 times a day.
Additionally, try to prevent Bobbie from rubbing his eyes, as this can cause further irritation or injury.
Given the severity and duration of his symptoms, it is crucial to seek veterinary care as soon as possible. Eye infections can lead to more serious complications if not treated promptly, including potential vision loss. The veterinarian will be able to perform a thorough examination and may prescribe additional treatments or medications to help Bobbie recover.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
