i got her to the less experienced vet and she gave me an ointment to put on 4-5 times a day. its called BNP and it has bacitracin zinc, neomycycin sulfate, and polymyxin b. sulfate in it.
the thing is, it hasn't gotten any better. in fact it even looks worse. the eye is now enlarged, almost 2x larger then it should be, and it looks like there may be bleeding in the eyeball, its a dark red. the vet that saw her said that she had somehow damaged her eye. i've checked the cage thoroughly but i haven't found anything that could have caused the problem so i'm guessing it was the luck of the draw and it was either a cagemate or herself scratching her eye or something foolish. she is a hairless, i'm not sure if that makes any difference though
tomorrow i'm booking an appointment with her reg vet to get a look at it and see what she has to say on the matter. i'm worried that they may need to take the eye, i hear it can be very dangerous.
but what is worse, is that i think smeag is in pain. she's much quieter then she ever has been and when disturbed she breathes heavy, no sounds of congestion, just heavy breathing. she's also been bruxxing for no apparent positive cause, so i suspect that that is pain bruxxing. i don't have any metacam but i do have infant's motrin from when stew broke his foot. can i use that? how much would she need? she weighs 300grams.
