The wonders of Fucithalmic Eye Ointment.
You may remember on 24th October, poor Dundee suffered from a bad 'eye poke' a condition guinea pigs can sometimes get from getting their eye 'poked', usually with a blade of hay.
This is what it looked like before I started treating it. Many vets would have said he needed his eye removed - I know this as I have seen less severe problems on other people's pigs who took them to the vet and that was the outcome. Whereas I have used this before and seen the success stories! So figured it was worth a try.
This is what it looked like about 5 days ago - so much better - it did look worse for a while, but I forgot to take a photo. However, by this stage,after a week of treatment he had started blinking so I had a feeling his sight might have been returning.
This is the eye today and I gave him his last treatment. He is blinking his eye now everything time I try to put the ointment in, and has been treated twice daily for the last two weeks.
I am guessing his vision might not be what it once was, but he is certainly a lot happier now.
