As most of you know, Zsa-Zsa is blind. Whilst she is extremely good at finding her way around the house and garden, she does occasionally bump into things and hurt her face or eyes. She does occasionally get bruised eyes, where she keeps one shut for a while and it will go slightly discoloured, but they do eventually heal up.
She's recently done it again, and she must have done it big style. A few days back, she wouldn't open her eye at all, and it was weeping dreadfully. Not pus or anything like that, but just lots of tears. When she did open it, it was pretty nasty. Her whole iris is a dark blood-red, which contrasts a lot to her other golden coloured eye. I had a close look at her eye, much to her protest even though it did not seem to bother her anymore, and there doesn't appear to be any cuts or abbrasions on the eye. And there's certainly no infection. Now, it's not weeping at all, and Zsa-Zsa is perfectly fine in herself, but still the eye is a terrible blood-red.I would like to take her to the vet to get her checked out, but my mum will not take her unless she shows signs of discomfort, which she clearly isn't doing.
I'm quite worried, she would have had to have really whacked something to hurt herself like she has. Do you think anything else could be responsible for it? I have a horrible feeling that it could be something inside her eye causing this, like a ruptured blood vessel. If anyone has any more info on any of this I'd be grateful to hear it.
