Eyes

Well here's another problem I have, our recent rescue has blood shot eyes 24/7 it's horrible bless her she is only 7 months and had a bad start in life, does anyone have any ideas what it could be?

It could be a touch on conjuntivitis. If it is, then a vet visit would be in order.

Before that, though, you could try placing a damp, used teabag (cooled of course!) on her eye for a minute or so, twice a day for a couple of days to see if it helps.

She is booked in for the vets :-) just wondered what it might be I've read it could be glaucoma, stress, pulling on the lead,

Glaucoma won't normally make her eyes red as far as I'm aware.

Yes, it could be stress, or dry eyes. But it could also be conjunctivitis, which can be easily treated with drops.

The teabags will tell you whether it's just irritation, though.

How does the tea bags work? X

Tea has very soothing & refreshing qualities - for humans as well! You can do the same for your own eyes & it'll brighten the whites and reduce dark circles.

I've used tea bags or cotton wool soaked in some cooled tea on Daisy's eyes when they've been sore too, it works well

Let us know how you get on at the vets

Vinnie gets this quite a bit took Carylls suggestion on the teabags and it does seem to work very well. Hope everything goes ok at the vets

How do I use the teabags?? Only been able to get a few wipes on each eye with her x

That's ok. Hold them on for a few seconds if you can, but otherwise frequent wipes all around the eye area.

I would also use seperate ones for each eye so if there's any infection you don't spread it

Thank you have done seperate bags for eyes wiped them over, will do it few times a day until vet day, our vets are impossible to get into, but quite lucky with an app for weds x

As said above, it could be Conjunctivitis, Zeus had this when he had to wear a cone for a month. He wouldn't let us put drops in (went absolutely mental when we went near him with them), so the vet gave us antibiotics which worked a treat.

Tea bags worked her eyes are much whiter and brighter :-) thank you guys x

Good to hear it has helped
