I am pretty sure Pixee has conjunctivitis. She has been off her food abit the last two days, plus wetting the bed two nights in a row, I know she has a cold in her body. Her nose is fine, not runny or anything, but she did shivier two days ago. I also noticed yesterday how heavy her eyes looked, like we do when we have a cold. I am having to wipe some discharge away. This morning, the one eye has yellow discharge. Has anyone dealed with this and how please? I was thinking of just going up the vet to get some saline water to clear her eyes with???

If it is conjunctivitus then you will need to pop to the vets for some antibiotics, it will clear up in a couple of days, but be carefull as its very contagious (sp), I caught it from a cat once lol, so wash your hands when you touch the eye Smile

Well the vet says, hopefully its only mild conjunctivitis, and to give eye drops twice daily for 1 week, and if not cleared up to go back too. So fingers cross all will be well now. While waiting at the vets, a lovely Americal pit bull came in, was so hugh too and a big softie she was. Big Grin
