It’s been a sad week or two. First off Tigger probably had conjunctivitis in his right eye, so kept it closed for a couple of days with brown sludge coming from it, then the left eye went the same, so we went tried to clean it etc, but on the Monday 31th October we called the vets, they saw him on the Wednesday and it turned out to be an ulcer. He went on some meds, pain relief, drops in the eye etc. Then Monday 7th he had clear liquid coming from the eye. We called the vets again and they saw him. This time they kept him in and planned on operating on Tuesday. So I left him there over night. They sedated him and got a better look, but found that the internal structures of the eye were damaged so opted to remove the eye.

He’s in again tonight for a vets appointment to see how the wound is healing and whether he can have the cone/collar off permanently. I think at this stage the cone is his biggest handicap and greatest annoyance.
