Sookie's eye...

[APBT Kisses]

The woman I acquired Sookie from, 10minutes before I got her, notified me that she had some bedding in her eye & it was irritating the eye...ok gotcha, her eye was shut and has since been. (had her since Thursday night, its now Monday night.)

A vet tech from work stated flushing her eye out w/ contact solution may help. I did it & its made little difference, some...but not enough.

Any suggestions, I am not avoiding the vet & have no issue getting up right now & going.

Before dropping a crazy deal of cash, I was wondering if yall had any ideas? Perhaps it wasn't bedding at all. Not sure.

THANKS.

What kind of bedding was she on before? Some are worse than others.

If it is still irritated after all this time, I think a vet visit is in order. Your vet will be able to check the eye out to insure there isn't an infection or some other problem happening, and the visit will allow your vet to have a record of your hedgehog on file.

If it was wooden bedding, I'd worry that her little eye got scratched or something. From personal experience, that really hurts. It heals fast once the irritant is gone, but she could still have a teeny piece caught.
