lexie has a sore eye...

Me too, after doing some reading on the internet, i am wondering if she has an corneal ulcer too maybe, or whether it is just beginning ,due to the traumau in the eye she has suffered, she may have got a scratch on her eye or run into a rose bush or something, still need to get her to the vet and have it checked.,will let you know when i know what it is.,Thanks for your concern.

My Daisy will be watching this thread carefully. She has the chlamydia virus and when it flares up, she gets eye problems. Every three months or so she needs eye drops for weepy eyes and sometimes antibiotics. She also once needed an operation because her eyelids were turning in and the eyelashes were lying on the eyeball, causing irritation and ulcers.

Daisy will be keeping her little paws crossed for Lexie. Please let us know how it goes.

Hopefully, it's something simple that can be treated w/no problems. My Yodie had eye problems several months ago and it took a while to clear up. Turns out she had a corneal ulcer. How that happened, I do not know. Prayers going out to Lexie.....

Prayers are coming for Lexie and Tessa from The Found Paradise Cat Hotel
and we are praying that they will be well and healthy and that the Vet can make them all better.

good news, i took lexie at the right time, it is only a scratch and the rest of her eye looks fine,she has ointment three times daily,then twice for five days, had i left it later, it possibly could have turned into an ulcer, so we assume she either got scratched by another cat or walked into a branch or something, it has had two applications and is looking better already, thanks for your concern and thank you miaows from princess lexie.

Tessa is progressing along, only time will tell, she will be checked on monday to see how well she is doing, fingers and paws crossed she does not need surgery, we don't want an old cat to have to go through that,so here's hoping the antibots and cream work for her.

Awe... missed this! Hope she is doing better today! My one boy, Honeybun, forever has goopy eyes. Not sure if it's the FIV thing and that he just has more discharge or what. The vet wasn't concerned, but I clean his eyes at least once a day.
