Oliver has 'squinty eye' again - that's my technical term for it. He is quite rough and tumble and he wrestles with both kitties and ferrets and as a result he gets poked or gets something in his eye three or four times a year. I have taken him to the vet for this condition multiple times and they give me a soothing ointment - but really no treatment for it so I have started treating him at home using colloidal silver.
When his eye is squinty I flush it out with a syringe of the silver - Oliver hates this process but tolerates it. Usually in a day or two his eye is good to go. I flushed it out last night and went to check on him early this morning. He is such a little tabby colored turd....I went in his room and he was bathing himself - his eye was a tad bit swollen but open almost normally. Then he saw me - little stinker snapped that eye shut. 'Oh - my eye.' D R A M A.....
I gave him lots of lovies and I cleaned it out and flushed it again. He ate the attention right up. As always I will keep a close watch on it and take him in if it doesn't get better in the next couple of days. And - my standard disclaimer - I am not a vet and the treatments that I decide to use on my critters are not to be considered a recommendation. Please consult your vet should your furry have an issue.....
